There is an interesting article on Angelman Syndrome here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelman_syndrome

A surprisingly recently reported genetic effect. 1960s onwards it seems.
Perhaps an early result of chemically induced DNA damage and the Epigenetic link is certainly noted - "this is due to gender-related epigenetic imprinting " ?
Interesting too that Ubiquitin pathways are involved as they play a role in removing defective and excess proteins.
The drug is reported to bind to proteins and to be linked to effects in many organs and energy systems so it would seem likely that there would be some transfer of effect to the foetus?
"safety in pregnancy not established" - BMA.
Whether or not such effects could trigger a genetic effect is for science to determine.

clearly the big pharma lobby has no moral guidance
and will do anything it can lobby to get more cash

its power is obvious simply in the pricing
their power to corupt is revealed in govt subsidising their gain[pbs]

the true measure of a drugs agffectivness is a thing called 'dose needed to cure number'..that generates a ratio of

how many need to take a drug
for one cure

it would come as no surprise that they hate this nmumber
this number reveals[for egsample] that with stroke medication

60 need to take the 'drug'
[heavilly govt subsidised drug]..to get one* cure

and that is how most drugs are

thus we need to be far more conceerned about adverse reactions[to perscribed drugs ..that is the cause of 1 in 100 hospital admissions
[1 in 10 resulting in death]

''doctor education in order to minimise promiscuous and uninformed anti-depressant prescribing.""

this is non egsistant
how many times you watched the quack read his drug bible
to perscribe a drug he dont know nuthin about[hasnt even read the leaflet that comes sometimes in the box[other times in the carton]but not read by anyone

''her complaints,findings and warnings about lack of action,""
is typical

""lobbying her colleagues,the Medical Board and the Health Care Complaints Commission of NSW, the Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee(ADRAC)of the federal Therapeutic Goods Administration and a clutch of ministers, both state and federal""

is equally futile
heck they banned nicoteen in tobacco
[taxed it out of egsistance]

WHILE GETTING A NEW SUBDIDY on it
in patches and chewing gum

plus other 'stop smoking' drugs
soon they will outlaw alcohol[and get a govt subsidy to sell it]

see their money can buy any govt
any party ..any media..any watchdog

What was a bit surprising

..when we looked
...that people who have* been vaccinated
...seemed to have twice the risk of getting swine flu

re ..nnt number
the Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is the number of patients you need to treat to prevent one additional bad outcome (death, stroke, etc.).

search result
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=number+needed+to+cure+number&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

The higher the NNT,
the less effective is the treatment

— the converse for side-effects

so the trick is compare two dogs[bad mediSines]
then claim this is best..because it beat the other dog

guess who choses
which dog compares with which dog?

The hidden tyranny: children diagnosed
and drugged for profit

Monica G. Young
Natural News

Not everyone has fallen for the grand hoax: 20 million kids worldwide diagnosed with mental disorders, necessitating psychiatric drugs for years or life.

Some individuals are speaking out. Yet so many parents, kids and schools have fallen prey to one of the most insidious yet most profitable misinformation campaigns of modern society...

Reading comment threads on the Guardian’s sites and elsewhere on the web, two patterns jump out at me.

The first is that discussions of issues in which there’s little money at stake tend to be a lot more civilised than debates about issues where companies stand to lose or gain billions: such as climate change, public health and corporate tax avoidance.

These are often characterised
by amazing levels of abuse and disruption.

"These are often characterised

And so they are. To the detriment of everyone.

In the big Pharma industry are the workers ( not all researchers and top executives) but people on the ground aware of what they are doing?
It is difficult for me to comprehend so many people are uncaring. Do these companys pay their staff above award wages? Please tell me how
innocent caring people get caught up in these terrible atrocities.
