Ail to the chief

(Another) victory for the former Prez 

As you may have heard, news services everywhere are reporting
that former President Bill Clinton recently underwent quadruple
bypass surgery at New York's Westchester Medical Center — just
in the nick of time before a potentially catastrophic heart attack.
According to his doctors and various news outlets, the 58-year-old
former Commander-in-Chief (whose love of fast food and carb-
heavy, sugar-saturated southern-fried cooking is well documented)
is recovering well after this traumatic procedure.
 
All politics aside, I say: Best of luck and get well soon.

According to the AP and other sources, Clinton wants to resume an
active lifestyle as soon as possible — including jogging, which
he's been doing more and more in recent years. Well, that's
exactly what he should do if he wants the fastest possible trip to
that Big Election in the Sky. No, if Clinton wants to have a real
shot at avoiding more of this same kind of scalpel-ing later on, he
should skip the jogging and instead give up some of that "down
home" cuisine. 

That means taking his bacon and eggs without the gravy-soaked
biscuits, his steak without the "chicken-fried" breading, and
skipping his much-loved dessert altogether. Apparently, the former
President is already taking steps to curb his sugar and carb vices,
telling the AP and others that he's embraced a variation of the
South Beach diet (not as good as Atkins, but better than KFC).
Good for him… 

But there's one "vice" he definitely SHOULDN'T give up: Cigars.

Even though his cardiologists will urge him to stop smoking, he
should continue to fire up the premium stogies he loves, especially
during his recovery period. Why? Because they're good for him —
from both a stress management and physiological perspective. As
I've said before about a jillion times, research shows that moderate
consumption of pure, unadulterated tobacco offers real health
benefits — especially for those whose diets are less than perfect. 

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if Clinton hadn't been puffing
those Cubans all along (come on, he's a former President and Fidel
loves him, so I'm sure he can get 'em), he might've suffered a
catastrophic heart attack long ago. That's right: Cigar smoking
probably SAVED HIS LIFE… 

Love him or hate him, you gotta envy the guy's luck, huh?

More breaking medical news from New York

In the last few weeks, New York has seen some pretty big medical
news — the marquis event, obviously, being the former President's
bypass operation. But the only thing remarkable about that was
WHO went under the knife. The procedure itself is as common as
corn (far too common, if you ask me).

But a few weeks back, something uncommon happened on the
medical scene in New York, and it came and went with barely a
blip in the mainstream press: The first genetically selected baby
ever born in the Empire State drew its first breath.

Now, I've written about this before, as you may know (Daily Dose,
5/30/03, 11/21/03). You know I have my reservations about this,
especially with regard to using genetic screening to select a baby's
sex. Ostensibly, the fertility clinics that offer this kind of selection
do so under the auspices of the prevention of genetic diseases like
Down syndrome, sickle cell anemia, Huntington's disease, and
others.

But embryonic pre-implantation screening allows the selection of
not only disease-free babies, but also those of a certain eye color, a
certain hair color, or a specific body shape.  The specter of this
looms large in my mind — as it should in the mind of anyone
who's thinking farther ahead than next week. 

As it turns out, both the parents of little Taylor Michaels are
carriers of cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease of the lungs and
respiratory system. Thanks to the embryonic screening, their little
bundle of joy dodged the bullet that her genes would surely have
dealt her.    

If only we could make sure that this noble goal was the ONLY aim
of genetic screening.
