Jhajjar, India (CNN)-- One-month-old child lady Khushi, which means "happiness" in Hindi, would not have been alive had her mom, Sumanjeet, succumbed to press from some loved ones and next-door neighbors. "They would cry and yell, 'What are you doing giving birth to a girl? Push her off the roof of the building, kill her! Why are you keeping her? '" the 25-year-old mom states. Sumanjeet states individuals kept telling her to obtain an ultrasound check and abort all 4 of her daughters. They informed her she would not have enough cash for a suitable dowry. Although Sumanjeet wasn't fairly sure how she was going to raise them, she knew it was a crime to obtain rid of them. "Why are they killing girls, while they're still in the womb? It's a sin for which they'll have to be answerable to God.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women getting fertility treatments can be reassured that in vitro fertilization (IVF) does not increase their risk of breast and gynecological cancers, according to a new study of Israeli women. Long, slow walks may beat shorter, higher intensity runs Forget about busting your buns on the treadmill. A small new study suggests that you’ll be healthier if you spend your time taking long, slow walks – and standing instead of sitting whenever possible. IVF treatments can involve ovulation-stimulating drugs or ovary puncturing to collect eggs - procedures that researchers have suspected may increase women's risk of cancer. Indeed, previous studies linked IVF early in life to heightened risks of breast cancer and borderline ovarian tumors (see Reuters stories of Jun 24, 2012 and Oct 27, 2011: http://reut. rs/Lj3Yt3 and http://reut.rs/tn4n5t). But other studies found little connection between fertility treatments and cancer.

Study links milk-producing protein to aggressive breast cancer | Reduction

Study links milk-producing protein to aggressive breast cancer

Excerpt:

The discovery that a protein which triggers milk production in women may also be responsible for making breast cancers aggressive could open up new opportunities for treatment of the most common and deadliest form of cancer among women. "The discovery opens up new avenues for therapy and for designing new markers that can predict response to therapy."- Lead author Professor Chris Ormandy from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney Found in all breast cells, the protein ELF5 tries to activate milk production even in breast cancer cells, which does not work and then makes the cancer more aggressive, according to scientists in Australia and Britain. "The discovery opens up new avenues for therapy and for designing new markers that can predict response to therapy," said lead author Professor Chris Ormandy from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney. In 2008, Ormandy's work linked ELF5 to milk production.

Key:

Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
