Not all preemie's are born to drug addicted mothers or are the result of congenital birth defects. Many scientists theorize bacterial infections or even environmental pollutants are contributing to the rise in premature births. Speaking as a parent who did everything right (pre-natal care, vitamins, genetic screening, healthy lifestyle) and had a daughter born 15 weeks early who spent 81 days in the ICU, this invention is amazing. Would also be beneficial for elderly patients with very fragile skin.
She's now 13 years old, straight A student, active in sports and volunteering, focused on attending vet school to become a veterinarian. Let's discuss future positive impact on society by her versus some of the mouthbreathers in the parent posts....
Also check out Spybot Anti-Beacon. It disables all (hopefully at least most) of the services Microsoft uses for data collection... I'm sure it can all be done manually, but this was a simple solution for me. Not a shill, but I keep posting this after learning about from a previous Slashdot comment months ago.
Unfortunately it's still going on today. Google Electroconvulsive Therapy or ECT. Apparently it can be a very effective temporary treatment. However, I still shudder when I think of observing a session during Nursing school 10 years ago. Very sterile and anesthetic is used, but still disturbing.
