FROM (NINDS) "Unlike the short-term, acute pain that people feel when they stub a toe or burn themselves, chronic pain is a disorder of the nervous system that persists for months or years and cannot be fully relieved by standard pain medications. It often includes burning, shooting, or shocking sensations. Chronic pain also may cause a problem called allodynia, in which people experience pain from stimuli that are not normally painful, such as a light touch or a breeze, or pain in places other than the area that is stimulated. There are many different kinds of chronic pain, including central pain, chronic regional pain syndrome (also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy), and peripheral neuropathy."  For more information, please visit the following URL.  Use your back button to return to CHN.

bulletChinese health care workers and the 'one-child' policy:  Repression of Conscience Since at least1991, Australia has been faced with Chinese women who apply for refugee status because of China's 'one-child policy.  These women fear that they will be forcibly aborted, sterilized and discriminated against if they are repatriated.   Australian authorities were unsympathetic to these claims, and one Chinese woman, 8 1/2 months pregnant when deported from Australia, was forced to have an abortion upon her return to China.

 bullet Treatments for Pain The goal of pain management is to improve function, enabling individuals to work, attend school, or participate in other day-to-day activities.

  • EDITORS COMMENTARY ~ FEB.28, 2001:  It is important for society to seek as much information about the various challenges people with disabilities meet,before coming to some subjective conclusion that what someone like Robert Latimer did, he did out of "compassion."  Tracy Latimer was killed by her father, without having any opportunity to have her "suffering" alleviated.There is a wealth of information on the Internet about Cerebral Palsy.  We urge you to investigate the various sites before penning your name to any petition that asks for Robert Latimer to receive a early parole.
