請不要使用過於情緒化的辭句，我想這裡應該是講道理講根據的討論版， 還有任何的科學研究都有其想法與存在價值， "憑空製造社會恐慌"這種說法對研究人員並不公平。 ※ 引述《[email protected] (coyot+e)》之銘言： > 我只問大家一個問題 > 若你們將來生出一個 在一歲內頭圍增長緩慢的兒女 你們該怎辦? > 我對研究本身的評論是 憑空製造社會恐慌的研究人員 何不去死算了 > 就算他的研究結果都是對的又如何? 能治療嗎? 能棄養嗎? > 除非有一天 能在一歲內發現並能治療 否則這種研究計劃早該被否定 > ※ 引述《[email protected] ( )》之銘言： > : 新聞從業人士者寫的跟研究人員寫的, 可能帶給讀者的感受會有相當大的不同, > : 比方研究報告就不會用"胎兒頭大=智力較高"這種標題殺人式的寫法 > : 建議大家看完這篇文章以後, 再來對新聞稿件或研究本身分開評論. 以下附上摘要. > : http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/118/4/1486 > : The Influence of Head Growth in Fetal Life, Infancy, and Childhood on > : Intelligence at the Ages of 4 and 8 Years > : Catharine R.
