This book evaluates some of the most common ethical issues confronted by reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists, and their teams. The authors apply core ethical principles and approaches to problem solving to each of the cases raised. This work is a guide for both those on the front lines of patient care as well as for students in the field, whatever their background. By outlining sample cases, the book is an instigator for ethical discussions among ethicists, medical practitioners and students.
Can aural training in music enhance your sound-discrimination abilities for languages? The study sets off to answer this question by testing 50 German-speaking students of non-linguistic degrees for their abilities to discriminate between sounds in Finnish, a language previously entirely unknown to them. 25 randomly selected subjects then went through an aural training in music for two weeks before all the subjects were retested in their aural-perceptive abilities in the Finnish language by means of a similar test containing different test items. The hypothesised positive effect of the musical intervention could be partially proved by a statistically significant mean enhancement in the final scores achieved by the trained group compared to an insignificant enhancement achieved by the control group.

Cet été-là, une vague de chaleur sans précédent s'abat sur la Nouvelle-Angleterre. A Shirley Falls, l'air est irrespirable. Mais pas aussi étouffant que le conflit opposant Amy à Isabelle - sa mère qui l'a toujours élevée seule. A 16 ans, la jeune fille connaît ses premiers émois. Un amour interdit. Un épisode qui renvoie Isabelle à son propre passé, à une faute qu'elle n'a pu expier. Au point de s'interdire tout bonheur. Par touches légères, Elizabeth Strout met en lumière les événements - petits ou grands - de cet été qui transformera à jamais ces deux femmes. Une délicate musique se fait alors entendre, qui révèle les nuances de l'âme humaine et préfigure Olive Kitteridge.
