QuoteOriginally posted by: migalleyQuoteOriginally posted by: ppauperdon't make eye contact with the monkeysQuoteMost people visit zoos to see the animals - but visitors to Antwerp Zoo in Belgium are being told not to look at the apes.Instead, visitors are now confronted with signs telling them that making prolonged eye contact with the apes leaves them sad and withdrawn. Zoo staff reckon staring can result in the creatures becoming less sociable.Perhaps it's not the staring, but just because they're stuck in Belgium. that and stuck in a cage with nothing to do except eat bananas and throw feces at each other

Baby born from ovary frozen in mother's childhoodQuoteThe woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, was diagnosed with sickle cell anaemia at the age of five.She emigrated from the Republic of Congo to Belgium where doctors decided her disease was so severe that she needed a bone marrow transplant using her brother's matching tissue. That is great news; even though kids can get cancer and after operations and that chemo afterwards they still bear children. Must make the grandparents very happy indeed.

Must make the grandparents very happy indeed.indeed, but this was Sickle-cell disease not cancerQuoteSickle-cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle-cell anaemia (SCA) and drepanocytosis, is a hereditary blood disorder, characterized by an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin molecule in red blood cells. This leads to a propensity for the cells to assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle-like shape under certain circumstances.
