Friday, June 15, 2007 at 7:44 AM Inducing abortions was widely practiced in the ancient world as a method of controlling family size. A Chinese document dated 3000 B.C.E. mentions abortions, and an Egyptian medical papyrus of 1550 B.C.E. describes an abortion technique. Plato advised that any pregnant woman over age 40 be aborted, and Aristotle argued that abortion should be used to control population growth, particularly for persons who felt an aversion to exposing unwanted offspring to the elements. The Greeks, Romans and Egyptians all developed an extensive literature on abortive techniques. These techniques included inserting papyrus into the cervix, irritating the uterus with laurel and peppers, and using drugs believed to stimulate uterine contractions. The second-century B.C.E. Greek physician Soranus of Ephesus discussed indications for abortions, such as a contracted pelvis, and described methods of abortion, mentioning purging, carrying heavy weights, injecting olive oil into the vagina, and using drugs such as wallflower, cardamom, and brimstone. Although the document describing these methods was written by a physician, abortions in ancient times were ordinarily the work of mid-wives or they were induced by the pregnant woman herself. Throughout most of history, physicians were seldom involved in gynecological procedures; the female reproductive system was considered the domain of women. Some ancient abortifacients have survived until modern times as folk remedies. Modern Egyptian nurses indicate that village women use mullohaya, a stiff grass used in making soup, to cause abortions - which is not unlike the ancient practice of using papyrus. Ergot, a fungus that grows on rye, was widely used in ancient times as an abortifacient wherever rye was grown. Ergot can cause severe poisoning, even death, so using it to induce abortion was not without danger. Ergotamine, a modem drug used to stimulate uterine contractions, is an alkaloid of ergot. The women of Thailand use a deep massage technique that dates back to ancient times.

Sunday, June 17, 2007 at 10:11 AM Plato advised that any pregnant woman over age 40 be aborted, this is how they should teach Plato by the way...my personal favorite Plato declaration is that a man should marry a woman half his age plus 7 years. That means I need to trade my wife in for a 23 year old. Sorry babe. These awesome statements should be the gateway into the cave material. —bguirk |
