#IVF involves removing eggs from the ovaries and combining them with collected sperm in a petri dish for fertilization.

This doesn't always result in a healthy embryo that can be implanted in the uterus.
Thus, doctors will typically fertilize #multiple #eggs simultaneously to increase the odds of a healthy embryo developing.

🔸If you consider each frozen embryo a "child," doctors need to create just one embryo at a time, reducing the likelihood of a successful procedure.
🔸Or create extra embryos that are never implanted, requiring the embryos to be stored indefinitely at the cost of $1,000 per year.
Any mistakes by a fertility clinic that result in the destruction of an embryo could result in murder charges.

Some Alabama fertility clinics are continuing to operate under these new restrictions. The Fertility Institute of North Alabama, for example, is continuing to offer IVF but plans "to fertilize fewer eggs to avoid the risks associated with discarding unused embryos."
This will both increase the price of the procedure, which already costs $10,000, and decrease the likelihood of success.

Japan’s Alpha Particle Assassin: New Treatment for Multiple Types of Cancer
Scientists at RIKEN in Japan have developed a technique that treats various cancers by inducing alpha radiation within cancer cells, killing them while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This approach, tested on mice, significantly reduced tumor growth and achieved a 100% survival rate.

NeadReport, 1 year ago to random

If anyone has followed this discussion recently about "thegx.ca" #spammer / follower, they just raised their ugly head with the following reply. I'm not including links and such, as I don't want to propagate their nonsense and their account(s) (see screenshot).
They also used the wrong Feditips account (which I forwarded).
Evidently, creating multiple #accounts on #multiple #instances, following the SAME people over and over is not #spam.
By the way, their account promotes gambling.
