Advances in perinatal and neonatal care are closely linked with the improvement in the survival rate of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI). Increased survival rate is the result of major changes in obstetrics and neonatal strategies and therapeutic procedures. The question is whether these changes in perinatal care have also brought about short-term and long-term positive results in morbidity in the child population. Despite the decrease in the neonatal morbidity rate, it appears that neonatal mortality remains stable. Frequently asked questions by parents aimed at medical professionals who are involved in the care of their child include questions...

By its very nature and philosophy, non-violence (and the practice or action of civil disobedience) amounts to violence. At its best, non-violence is the philosophy of using peaceful means, not force, to bring about political or social change. Civil disobedience implies the willful and deliberate violation of a certain law, civil rule and political authority in resistance to some real or perceived injustice. In other words, civil disobedience is the philosophical tradition that upholds non-violence as the sole route to resisting oppression and injustice. This implies psychological retaliation. But the question is, is the very idea of civil disobedience,...
