- Is this supposed to be suprising? face facts Petey. After the
- procedure is started, it can't be stoped. The fetus is dead, and
- halting the procedure would be a good way to ensure that the woman

- That probably doesn't matter to you though.

- Incorrect, as usual, Petey. Pitocin is a brand name for a hormone of
- either synthetic or natural origin called oxytocin.
- Digoxin is not "related to" digitalis, it *is* digitalis. What is your
- problem with it's use to stop a heart?
- Jeeez Petey, if you're going to post this gaqrbage, at least make some
- minimal effort to get yoru facts straight.
