Today I saw the new witch is about medicine from Taipei Times, content is as follows: Following an operation that removed half of her uterus and years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive, a woman gave birth naturally last week
A 36-year-old woman who had half her uterus removed conceived and gave birth naturally, a Taipei Medical University Hospital (TMUH) doctor said.
"It's a miracle," said Liu Wei-min (劉偉民), chief gynecologist at TMUH and the woman's doctor.
Liu said he had never come across a case of a woman with so much of her uterus removed becoming pregnant without receiving fertility treatment and delivering the baby without a caesarean section.
"It might be a world first," he said.
The woman became aware of her condition six years ago after seeking treatment for severe pains associated with her periods. Liu discovered that the patient was suffering from adenomyosis(子宮腺肌症) in the back wall of her uterus.
"By the time her condition was discovered, half her uterus was gone," Liu said.
Following surgery, the woman underwent two rounds of in-vitro fertilization, only to discover that her husband had a low sperm count, further decreasing their chances of conceiving. Both rounds of treatment failed and the couple resigned themselves to not having children.
"After nine years of trying, it looked like we were not meant to have a baby in this life," said the woman, surnamed Chen (陳), at a press conference at the hospital yesterday.
However, last year the woman became pregnant.
A caesarean section was planned at 37 weeks, but on Thursday the woman unexpectedly went into labor.
"This was a high-risk pregnancy so the family initially wanted a caesarean section to minimize the risks," Liu said. "But her birth canal had dilated to 10cm and her condition was good, so they agreed to try and deliver the baby vaginally."
The delivery went smoothly. However, since the baby was prematurely born at 28 weeks, it remains under observation in an incubator.
"I cannot wait for the baby to get stronger and come home," Chen said.
Liu said the medical staff cannot take credit for the birth.
"It is already difficult for women who have had surgery for adenomyosis to conceive and with half the uterus gone it is very difficult," Liu said. "In this case, we played a very small role in the pregnancy."
Adenomyosis is a disease where uterine lining cells end up growing directly inside the muscles of the uterus walls.
People determine that woman can conceive with healthy womb, nevertheless, Mrs. Chen only has half of womb. It's a miracle and it was a world first instance. I think that accredits Mrs. Chen who determination about want a baby, and God gives grace that accomplish Mrs. Chen’s wish.

Essay 8
“Do you think Taiwan is a country in the world??” I look this question from Wefong café (English only) which is a good website let people can chat or ask questions by network. I see mach answers on this website, some answer is very professing, for example: I believe most people in the world view Taiwan as an independent country. Dinosaur 88 points out that Taiwan relies largely on the market of China. This I agreed with him, for that China is a "newly developed country" and has a relatively cheap goods and materials. I'm not surprised to see many companies in Taiwan move their factories over to China seeking for a cheaper working population. I don't know what you think, but in my opinion, a politically "isolation" from China is an important step towards independent. Yes we shares the same language, but many other countries shares same language such as English and French. Sharing a same language does not lead to a shared body politic. There are many tradition, custom which we have in common. But we have much more differences in culture and believes. You mentioned about tradition, but I see no respect of "tradition" from China. China has over 4000 years of history put down in writing, but look what happened now?! They are going to get rid of the traditional writing, and have simple writing instead! How do you suppose our off springs to read and understand China history with all those traditional writing? Are they going to rewrite everything with simple writing? You said that Taiwan have not enough strength to be independent? I believe Taiwan is already an independent country. You can see antagonistic opinion like : I think in the present situation , Taiwan , relying largely on the market of the Mainland , politically "isolated" , and sharing the same language , tradition ,custom with the mainland ,don't have enough strength to be independent . And how do you think about this question ?
