Avoid Theft of your Child’s Identity

August 29, 2017 Comments Off on Avoid Theft of your Child’s Identity

It can happen when your child is a newborn, or as a teenager, or anytime in between: identity theft.  In fact, 1/4 of our kids will have their identities stolen before they reach their 18th birthday.

Morgan Stanley has published an important “Guide for Parents” that addresses this issue.  It gives warning  signs and strategies.  Topics include

  • A Target Even at Birth
  • Watch for these Warning Signs
  • Key Strategies for Parents

The commercial for Morgan Stanley doesn’t come in until their last topic, Helping to Keep Your Family’s Identity Secure.  Even that section contains ideas that are useful whether or not you’re a Morgan Stanley client.

If you’re a parent of a baby–whether newborn or teen–this article is worth a read.

Abortions for Newborns: A Moral Dilemma

February 10, 2015 Comments Off on Abortions for Newborns: A Moral Dilemma

Here’s a moral quandary for people who believe in no abortion under any circumstances: fetus in fetu. It happens–in both boys and girls–in 1 of every 500,000 births.  It is a fetus within a newborn baby. Some say it’s more of a tumor.  But sometimes there’s no question, as in the case of the Hong Kong baby with twins inside her, twins that were 8-10 weeks developed, with arms, legs, spine, ribs, intestines, and an umbilical cord each.  (No, this isn’t something from National Inquirer.  Read about it in the U.K. Mirror article.)  The medical team removed them surgically when the girl was three weeks old.

Was that an abortion?  Of course it was.  Was it morally right?  That’s a knotty question.  Should the newborn and her twins have been allowed to die instead?

I’ll leave the answers to people far more intelligent, moral, and spiritual than I am.
