3. Detecting Autism Early With a 5-Minute Questionnaire http://time.chtah.com/a/tBNuZK3BASRffB8VKqZNs-NWTFu/news66
It's generally better to detect a disease sooner rather than later, but with some slowly progressing conditions, it's not always possible to pick out the first signs of trouble. That's certainly true of autism, which in most cases isn't diagnosed [...]

9. Avoiding Ethical Quandaries In Embryo Donation http://time.chtah.com/a/tBNuZK3BASRffB8VKqZNs-NWTFu/news72
