发帖数: 26631 | 1 Long-Term Health Risks and Benefits Associated with Spay / Neuter in Dogs
Laura J. Sanborn, M.S.
May 14, 2007
Precis
At some point, most of us with an interest in dogs will have to consider
whether or not to spay / neuter our pet. Tradition holds that the benefits
of doing so at an early age outweigh the risks. Often, tradition holds sway
in the decision-making process even after countervailing evidence has
accumulated.

LONDON – Physicist Stephen Hawking says God wasn't necessary for the
creation of the universe.
In his new book, "The Grand Design," the British scientist says unraveling
a complex series of theories will explain the universe. The book, written
with American physicist and author Leonard Mlodinow, will be published
Sept. 9.
In an extract published Thursday in The Times, Hawking wrote that it was
"not necessary to invoke God."

According to the Bible (Genesis 2:7), this is how humanity began: "The Lord
