Virginia Senate Suspends Conception
Bill
Virginia’s Senate voted Thursday to suspend consideration of a bill
that would define life as beginning at conception.
The abrupt reversal by Republican lawmakers came hours after a Senate
committee voted to approve the legislation for consideration by the full
body, The New York Times reported.
Many believe that Gov. Bob McDonnell was behind the change in course on
the piece of conservative legislation.
On Wednesday, McDonnell told Republicans in the House of Delegates to
change a bill that would have required women to have a vaginal ultrasound
before an abortion. The new version requires a noninvasive abdominal
ultrasound, The Times reported.

Teen Drivers’ Marijuana Use Causes
Concern
Teens who drive while high on marijuana appear to be a growing
problem.
Pot smoking is up among teens and use of the drug among high school
students is higher than it has been in three decades, finds new survey
data compiled by Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and the
insurance industry, the Washington Post reported.
Survey results also show that 19 percent of teens said they’d driven a
vehicle while stoned, and more than one-third said marijuana causes no
distractions to their driving, according to the information released
Wednesday.
“What keeps me up at night is that this data reflects a dangerous trend
toward the acceptance of marijuana and other substances compared to our
study of teens conducted just two years ago,” Stephen Wallace, senior
adviser for policy, research and education at SADD, told the
Post.
Last week, the Governors Highway Safety Association said that teen
highway deaths increased in the first half of 2011, reversing an
eight-year downward trend.

Male Y Chromosome Won’t Vanish:
Study
Men’s Y chromosome may not wither away to nothing after all, according
to a new study.
The male Y and female X chromosomes once had about 800 genes in common
but the Y now carries just 19 of its ancestral genes, along with its
male-determining gene, and is just a fraction of its original size, The
New York Times reported.
This has led some scientists to wonder if the Y chromosome will
eventually vanish and make human males a thing of the past.
But a new study suggests that the Y chromosome’s gene-shedding is
finished and it will shrink no more, The Times reported.
The study was published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
