Other Medical Reasons for Taking Birth Control Pills

Of course there is the obvious reason for taking birth control pills and that is birth control. However, that’s only small potatoes for some women. I’ve been on said pills since I was eighteen.

That’s right! Terminally ill cancer patients who drew comfort from religion were far more likely to seek aggressive, life-prolonging care in the week before they died than were less religious patients and far more likely to want doctors to do everything possible to keep them alive, a study has found. The patients who were devout were almost three times more likely than less religious patients to be put on a mechanical ventilator to maintain breathing during the last week of life, and they...
