A more formal statement of this question investigates the moral status of the embryo. The question can be broad or limited to a particular stage of development. Conception produces a one-celled entity, the zygote. After three cell divisions an eight-celled structure is formed called the blastocyst. A blastocyst is also termed a morula, because the tiny ball of cells looks like a mulberry.

Cellular differentiation begins at the 16-cell stage. The cells of the morula are called blastomeres. Inner blastomeres become the inner cell mass. These cells will differentiate into the three layers of the embryo - the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The outer blastomeres become the trophoblast. The trophoblast further differentiates into the placenta which provides nutrition to the developing embryo. The developing embryo is characterized as a fetus at the beginning of the 11^th week of gestation (9weeks after fertilization).

Are any of these entities - zygote, blastocyst, morula, embryo, fetus - a human being? Certainly each entity is alive. Each entity is a living organism. Which, if any, are human beings? Put another way, which of these living organisms is a person? Such questions have been discussed, analyzed, and debated for decades. The discussions and debates intensified in the run-up to the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 [see link below].

The debates on abortion and the moral status of the embryo and fetus have persisted, being carried on in Congress, the professional literature, the media, and in houses of worship. Sadly, a few partisans on one side of these issues have grossly violated our laws and democratic principles, going so far as to murder physicians who perform abortions. Most recently, the well-known director of an abortion clinic was murdered in Wichita, KS, on Sunday morning, May 31, 2009. The doctor was killed while attending church.

Many people believe a single-cell fertilized human egg - a zygote - is a full-fledged human being. Therefore embryos and fetuses in all stages of development are full-fledged humans as well. Destruction of even a zygote in scientific research therefore represents murder. A 1999 article published in the Kennedy Institute for Ethics Journal asserted that research on embryos "directly promotes the destruction of embryonic human life" and destruction of embryos represents "wrongful killing". [Doerflinger 1999]

Such a position presents many difficulties. For example, up until the 14^th day of development and formation of the primitive streak, an embryo has the capability to spontaneously divide and form identical twin embryos. Also, prior to 14 days two distinct embryos (if present in a single womb) may spontaneously fuse to become a single embryo. This process of mosaicism forms a chimera, an organism composed of two or more populations of genetically distinct cells. Therefore, prior to the formation of the primitive streak the embryo cannot be considered a distinct human individual. The embryo is a living organism, but it is not yet a human being.

If these embryos are not human beings, their destruction in various scientific research activities does not represent murder. Sacrifice of these living organisms is thus ethical and appropriate during scientific research which is intended to provide benefit to large numbers of people.

If you are taking aspirin together with Celebrex or Arcoxia, listen up. A study has shown that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that specifically target COX-2 may blunt the anti-platelet action of aspirin. COX-2 is one of the forms of the enzyme cyclooxygenase which experts believe is responsible for inflammation in the body.

In a study conducted by University of Michigan, researchers found that the anti-blood clotting effect of aspirin was reduced when selective NSAID such as Celebrex was taken at the same time.

Aspirin, which is a non-selective NSAID, is commonly used by doctors for patients with heart-related conditions to prevent heart attack and stroke. It is estimated that some 50 million Americans take aspirin every day to reduce their risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Celebrex and several selective NSAIDs such as Arcoxia, on the other hand, are used to treat arthritis and relieve severe pain. In the US, only Celebrex is approved for sale. Selective NSAIDs, however, have been found to promote the formation of blood clots and increase one’s risk of heart attack and stroke. Thus, individuals taking selective NSAIDs are often put on low-dose aspirin to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.

This research finding suggested that the practice of combining selective NSAID with low-dose aspirin (usually 81 mg) may not give the intended effect. In fact, it may even put patients who are more prone to cardiovascular events, such as those who are likely to suffer from a second heart attack, at a risk.

Citing previous studies in which a higher dose of aspirin taken with Celebrex have not found to cause abnormal blood clotting, the study proposed increasing the dosage of aspirin, or spreading out the time between taking low-dose aspirin and Celebrex to maintain the efficacy of aspirin. However, researchers also cautioned that high doses of aspirin could produce negative side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding when it is taken on a long-term basis.

In view of the possible serious complications of using NSAIDs, many people have turned to natural remedies with fewer side effects to reduce their reliance on conventional medicine. Omega-3 supplements are a popular choice as a number of studies concluded that omega-3 fatty acids reduce joint stiffness, tenderness and pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. It may also benefit people with other inflammatory disorders, such as osteoarthritis since omega-3 is proven to be effective in decreasing inflammation.

Anti-inflammatory herbs such as Boswellia and Devil’s Claw which have been used for thousands of years also look promising in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in a few preliminary studies. But more in-depth studies are required before results can be considered conclusive.

As every individual’s medical and body conditions are unique, always discuss with your physician first before self-medicating with any over-the-counter supplements.
