Two authorized treatment and the other refused to give babies … – iOnline

Two authorized treatment and the other refused to give babies saved brothers

                     
                 
                     

The aim is to achieve a pregnancy and thus the birth of a child who can be a donor of bone marrow.


 
                 

The National Council for Medically Assisted Procreation (CNPMA) authorized the holding of two treatments for the birth of children consistent with sick brothers, one of whom stepped forward, and refused a third request already made this year.


 
 

According to the president of CNPMA, Eurico Reis, the aim of the intervention is to obtain a pregnancy and thus the birth of a child who may be marrow donor for a sibling with leukemia.


 
 

The first two requests that come to the Board in 2014 were accepted, but only one has advanced since the other couple gave up.


 
 

The application accepted and whose practice is underway in Genetics Center Playback Teacher Alberto Barros, Porto, was the first to obtain authorization from CNPMA as released the newspaper Público in April.


 
 

However, the specialist in reproductive medicine Alberto Barros explained to Lusa News Agency that this technique has been held in Portugal a few years ago, although at the time it was not necessary prior authorization from the Council.


 
 

Of the treatments done in this period resulted in no pregnancy.


 
 

The therapy in question is a cycle of Medically Assisted Procreation (PMA) with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for obtaining HLA embryo (Human Leukocyte Antigen) compatible for severe disease treatment effects.


 
 

PGD is a very early method of prenatal diagnosis for couples with a high risk of transmission of a gene disease (the “disease of the feet”) or chromosomal (such as trisomy 21).


 
 

This diagnosis is carried out after removal of one or two cell embryos on the third day of development or after the biopsy blastocyst (day 5), with subsequent diagnosis of a chromosomal gene or condition.


 
 

The purpose of this technique is the transfer of embryos or genetically normal, in this case, HLA compatible embryos relative to the group.


 
 

Whenever there is a request for the use of this technique, the Council shall act “case by case on the use of MAP techniques for selecting HLA compatible group for severe disease treatment effects,” he told Lusa Judge Judge Eurico Reis.

 
 

This means that “the concrete conditions of each of these individual situations are the essential foundation of the decision, given that, in all cases, is concerned the treatment of a serious illness and not prevention concerning potential or capability to come to unleash such a disease, “he said.

 
 

Regarding the request that the CNPMA prevented, the refusal to take into account an opinion of the Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplant (IPST) and the available data regarding “the risk of disease recurrence and the likelihood that, in this case, finding a compatible donor. “

 
 

The CNPMA recognized “the enormous complexity of the subject matter and so is the personal suffering of the couple and the child involved,” but dismissed the application, although he admitted “the possibility of carrying out a review of the situation if a change occurs substantial to the circumstances. “

“I researched a lot, picked every tissue in the exact color and texture, the white ropes, buttons, to make it as faithful as possible. Then I made a first prototype took to the Santarém GNR to see if everything was fine. It was necessary to rectify a striped sleeve, the back buttons and how entwined the strings. In two weeks I was ready, “says Raul Silva Lopes. There were basic rules to follow: the skirt must cover the knee, the doll may not appear sitting (because the military did not sit with the black tie) and the hair must be caught. It was only open one exception: the military surge in high heels. . Footwear “classic and sober” application only exists in the dolls of the 80s and 90s and are not intended to present, that changed measures

And because next to a Barbie is always a Ken, Raul has also created a GNR. Here, only one request: that was dark as most Portuguese. The duo will be presented Sunday at the Guard of the party in Bethlehem, from face painting camouflage, horse riding, self defense for younger, demonstrations with dogs, tents with night vision equipment and diving baptisms in swimming pool.

                         Figo responds to Blatter’s election – Luis Figo reacted quickly for re-election on Friday, Joseph Blatter for the presidency of FIFA (the world governing body of football).
 
 Release:
 
 “This vote served only to endorse the election of a man who can not keep ahead of world football. Contrary to what Mr. Blatter said, the events of last Wednesday not stain football, stain FIFA and the officials who led the organization until now. Football is not guilty of the leaders of the governing body that should not have regular integrity or character.
 You can not lead the FIFA making a clean sweep of the most elementary rules of transparency, legality and democracy. They were not satisfied, as denounced and it was found.
 
 Or Mr. Blatter knew and condoned acts of corruption and influence peddling, or, if he did not know – as he says – is because it has no capacity to lead the FIFA. There is no other way to see the problem.
 In the face of so much evidence, that the primary responsibility for FIFA to have gotten to this point has been re-elected and says how the organization is ill.
 
 Today was another black day in Zurich. Lost FIFA but above all lost football and all those who truly care about him.
 
 Heartbreaking and cynical reaction of Mr. Blatter when he says he can not control everyone. Offends the intelligence of all of us. It was these people he has promoted for years and that with him, made FIFA what it is today, a decaying body.
 
 If Mr. Blatter is minimally cared about football, I would have given up to present for reelection. If you have a minimum of decency, will have to resign in the coming days.
 
 I regret nothing. I struggled, I persisted, endeavored to me by the regeneration of an organization that has to change course. We live in an emergency situation and football is the main harmed by the current situation.
  What I did was report what I experienced directly. Would I do it and remain available to help FIFA to rebuild it all this. ”
