Since the 1960s, the traditional way of screening for prenatal genetic disorders was through amniocentesis, an invasive procedure, which slightly increases the risk of miscarriage. A new method of , called chromosomal microarray analysis, can detect submicroscopic genetic anomalies that other tests can not find. In this method, fetal DNA is obtained through a sample of a pregnant woman's blood. This technology is believed to be safer, faster and more accurate than the traditional, invasive test.

While there are many benefits to this more efficient prenatal genetic screening method, skeptics worry that babies will be born with a "syndrome label." Prior to this new technology, in 2005 in Mississauga, Ontario, at twenty-one weeks pregnant, the trisomy 13 disorder was detected in Barbara Farlow's unborn daughter. When Ms. Farlow's daughter, Annie, was about three months old, she suffered a respiratory attack and was admitted into the hospital. Annie died within 24 hours and the official cause was "complications of trisomy 13." However, Ms. Farlow and her husband still do not know all of the details, despite years of inquiry. They did find out, though, that a do-not-resuscitate order was issued by someone without their consent. They believe that the results of the ultimately determined her fate and that "she was treated as a syndrome. She wasn't treated as a child."

Advocates for the new test say expectant parents can never be too informed and that more knowledge empowers people to make better choices. Other points made are that the test can be performed earlier than amniocentesis and that it provides the maximum amount of information about a fetus, allowing a prospective parent to either terminate the pregnancy or prepare for a child with disabilities. has already been used extensively as a diagnostic tool in pediatrics. When used to identify the genetic roots of mental retardation in children, for instance, it has proven twice as effective as conventional techniques. Researchers say it may be even more useful for prenatal diagnosis, detecting up to 200 genetic abnormalities, while returning ambiguous results in only 1% of cases.

Since is most often an elective procedure, prospective parents can avoid the undue stress of a flood of , if they so choose. Many parents-to-be decide that results of will not change or affect their decision to continue a pregnancy, so they opt out of it.

In the world of bodybuilding contest dieting, there are two big players. The first is Clenbuterol, an adrenergic agonist that stimulates the central nervous system to lose weight. The other, ECA, is a stack of ephedrine, aspirin, and caffeine, which work together to create a synergistic thermogenic effect in the body. Bodybuilding, fitness, and figure competitors to shed body fat and maintain high energy levels when preparing for a contest commonly use them both.

Clenbuterol, or 'clen' for short, does a number of things. First, it increases blood pressure. Oxygen transportation in the body increases as well. This means a person on less food can suddenly do MORE cardiovascular exercise for longer periods of time. When using clen, the body does burn protein and fat faster, so users should increase the level of these two macronutrients accordingly. Glycogen levels do remain constant. Clen was originally designed as a bronchial aid, for people with asthma who have trouble breathing. Its useful side effects were quickly discovered. Some users do report irregular heartbeats on this supplement, and it should never be consumed without a doctor's approval. Clen is accessible via the Internet, but it is not for sale in the US. It is on the banned list for Olympia athletes, and while effective, is often difficult to obtain.

ECA is a daily stack of Aspirin, Caffeine, and Ephedrine. 25 mg ephedrine, 250 mg aspirin, and 300 mg caffeine, taken 1-2 times per day, it has been proven remarkably effective in weight loss by both bodybuilding/fitness athletes, but by everyday people looking to shed a few pounds. Ephedra and caffeine create a synergistic effect in the body, much like Clenbuterol, raising blood pressure to increase oxygen transport in the blood. Users of ECA often experience increased energy levels, fat loss, and increased irritability. In the bodybuilding/fitness world, dieting athletes have used for ECA over a decade, and its reputation is that of a very effective agent.

When all is said and done, ECA is the last man standing. Taking into account its proven track record, the fact that it is legal, and the fact that it is so readily available - not to mention arguably more effective - allows the ECA stack to edge out Clenbuterol as the cutting agent of choice for bodybuilders. Top-level professional bodybuilders often "stack" the two, using ECA and clen together. This is a risky practice, as two agents raising blood pressure at once can cause some serious heart issues. Stick with one, and make that ECA most of the time.
