Doctors call for global consensus on diagnosis of death
There needs to be international agreement on when and how death is diagnosed, two leading doctors suggest. At a European meeting of anaesthetists they said improvements in technology mean the line between life and death is less clear. They called for precise guidelines and more research to prevent the rare occasions when people are pronounced dead but are later found to be alive.

Donor conceived children shouldn’t have right to be told of their origins, says Nuffield Council
Children conceived from donated sperm or eggs should not have an automatic right to be told about their conception, recommends a report from the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. It should be up to the child’s legal parents to decide whether to make the child aware that he or she was donor conceived, says the report.

Scientists make ‘laboratory-grown’ kidney
A kidney „grown“ in the laboratory has been transplanted into animals where it started to produce urine, US scientists say. Similar techniques to make simple body parts have already been used in patients, but the kidney is one of the most complicated organs made so far. A study, in the journal Nature Medicine, showed the engineered kidneys were less effective than natural ones. But regenerative medicine researchers said the field had huge promise.

Baby with three mums: Katy couldn’t have children so her sister provided an egg… and her sister-in-law acted as the surrogate
Katy and David Slade always knew they wanted a baby of their own. But with Katy unable to have children because of a rare genetic condition, they realised they might need some help to make their dream of a family come true. In the end, that help came from close to home. David’s older sister, Jamie Allan, and Katy’s younger sister, Lucy Marks, joined forces to help them bring their daughter Beatrix into the world. Lucy provided the egg while Jamie carried the baby for nine months.

More and more ‘pro-life’ Americans support abortion rights
At a glance, the upcoming 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade strikes some abortion-rights advocates as an occasion for tears. New findings from the Guttmacher Institute show that 2012 ranked second only to 2011 in the number of new state restrictions (43 provisions in 19 states)–not to mention attacks on birth control and other health services.

To Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth, May Do Patients Harm: The Problem of the Nocebo Effect for Informed Consent
The principle of informed consent obligates physicians to explain possible side effects when prescribing medications. This disclosure may itself induce adverse effects through expectancy mechanisms known as nocebo effects, contradicting the principle of nonmaleficence.
