Metric is easier to use by far. I cook a lot and it's especially nice for baking. Measuring everything with a scale in grams gives better and more consistent results. Base 10 and base 6 are so much easier to use once you learn them, rather then having to memorize dozens of different conversions and equivalencies.

Because I know they are not detectible on a nerve conduction study. I work at a neurology office, where we do several every day. It's a common complaint that they don't measure pain, just the damage of nerves.
And a person can detect pain, yes, because of nerve fibers and cells and all that. But there is no way to measure that or detect it with diagnostic testing.

9000? When labor feels like 57? I'm interested in where you got this "fact". Anyway, you can't test for pain. That's why the have the pain scale. That's why when you go to a doctor an say you're back hurts, they can't test you for pain, only a possible source. You can't even hook up nerve endings to an electrode and measure the output to the brain of detecting pain, (electromyography or nerve conduction study.)
Besides, pain is incredibly subjective. What one would classify as the worst pain ever, another would only rate as distressing.
Yes, a kick to the balls can be excruciating. But trying to compare it to cramps isn't really doable. Period cramps are comparable to food poisoning cramps. And anyone can get food poisoning.
A comparison of a kick to the balls vs labor is on a more even level. But labor still lasts for hours vs the single event of being kicked. And yes, labor can cause epilepsy and blindness as well.

That's how I am. I know some people who's period is hell. Other then being more tired and some nausea, I'm pretty much normal. The trade off though, was pregnancy hell. So watch out for that.

I don't know what's going on, but I keep seeing you're comments being down voted for no reason. I sense trolls. You're too likable for there to be any other reason.

I, very sadly, understand exactly what you mean. Many children diagnosed with a genetic disorder or disability before birth are aborted. I know a lot of that comes from fear. Fear of not being able to love a child that isn't "perfect" Fear that you are not up to the extra challenges of a disabled child. Even couples who have struggled with fertility for years will abort a child if it isn't what they want. As someone who has a disabled child, it hurts that they are rejecting something that is so wonderful. It hurts that they see a child like mine, and can not look past a diagnosis to see how wonderful it is. But, it's still their choice, and not mine. I actually hope to adopt or be a foster parent for disabled children in my future. People who reject the gift of a disabled child really don't deserve how awesome it is.

Same if you get kicked in the vagina. Lost of very sensitive nerve endings for both sexes.

If you want to "spay" every women who has an abortion, then we should neuter every male who skips out or refuses to support their children. It's a 2 way street. Both parents share the responsibility equally.

If what you say is true, and most abortions are because those women are lazy, I wonder how fewer abortions there would be if more men accepted the responsibility of the child they created, rather then being lazy themselves.

I'm goin to throw my hat in the ring here, I guess. First off, I agree with philosophic and morganwinchester. Have your beliefs, share them, but understand that others are entitled to their beliefs just like you are to yours. You can be respectful of others beliefs even if you don't agree.
Second, I am pro-choice. I do think abortion is wrong and it is killing an unborn child. But my decisions and my beliefs should have no power over another persons body. An unborn child can not legally have rights over a mother. There is a difference between morally wrong, and legally wrong. And isn't it morally wrong for me to force my opinion and belief onto another and take away the control they have to their own body?

That's what I was thinking too. Only corneal transplants are possible. I think this is a case where both the parents and the media are misinformed about what's possible. Or possibly the parents saying they would each happily give up an eye for the child, and the media thinking it was an actual option.
(After searching the internet for more info, I wasn't able to find an actual diagnosis or what treatment the boy would receive. Speculation is that it's a retinal-blastoma, or a tumor in the retina of the eye.)
