A joy that is conceived in the midst of tragic illness
Article Abstract:
There were at least six children born in the UK in 1998 who were conceived after the death of their father, according to a survey by The Independent of 50 of the country's 101 fertility clinics. Of these, 15 had been involved in posthumous conception. It is becoming increasingly common for women to seek to use their dead husband's sperm. It is now quite routine for men receiving certain medical treatment, such as a kidney transplant, to be given the opportunity to store sperm in case the treatment affects their fertility.

What have you done to my country?
Article Abstract:
Re-unification in Germany was thought to be a reason for happiness but the process has led to violence and racism. There is no unity and the bankrupt GDR is disregarded instead of the West taking their share of responsibility. The West might acknowledge that citizens of East Germany have had a bad life for 40 years, but it continues to patronize them. Interior Minister Rudolf Seiters made an agreement with the Romanian government on the repatriation of gypsies. There are many objections to the right to asylum.
