The short answer is, menstrual blood may smell differently from one woman than from another, and it may smell differently from … Read more

No, it should not be mandatory law. "Donation" is voluntary.  You are talking about involuntary taking by law -- essentially, the government confiscating organs from dead people who didn't want to donate them.   This is unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment's so-called "takings clause" :  "No person shall . . . .

Don't waste your energy or emotions on a comeback.   Just walk away, and find friends who respect you.

That depends on the doctor. He may "keep it confidential" in terms of not telling your husband or parents, but if he puts it in his records AND the insurance company demands to see his notes, then they will know. Some doctors will agree to leave it out of their notes, but most won't.  They need … Read more

Yes, it does, if the lab checks for it.  In fact, the hormones excreted in their urine by women using oral contraceptives and contraceptive implants, as well as women on HRT (hormone replacement therapy, at menopause) have been implicated in the pollution of our rivers and lakes, causing birth defects in fish.

Like "myopinions" in the previous answer, I hope your baby is okay.  The back which arches up is called a "roach back," and it can lead to problems in some breeds.  Dachsies are, unfortunately, notorious for back and hip problems.
