Now I have been doing a lot of research on infertility, fertility treatment methods, as well as some alternative – ‘holistic approaches’.  Yet, it seems there are some ethical standards of fertility that I never knew about, mainly because I never had any interest in the subject until now.

Anymore in today’s society, it seems that when people think about fertility treatments they think of the ‘Octomom’ and that is not me.  I am married, employed, and I have no other children – and I have wanted just one child to call my own.

The criticism among society, and the people around me I am not worried about – but it is that of my church that is weighing in on my dreams of having a child.

The ethics of fertility varies among religion and church – whether you are Mennonite, Roman Catholic, Judaism, Hindu, or Muslim – all have their own views on fertility treatments.

I am Roman Catholic, a relgion that does not allow the substitution of artificial fertilization. In the words of the church – “It is intrinsically immoral because it does not respect the dignity and sacredness of the conjugal act nor the rights and dignity of the embryos conceived.”  In the eyes of my religion, the only choice my husband and I have is hormonal treatments and surgery.  As I feel some type of relief knowing I have an option…then I start to wonder – “what if that doesn’t work?”

I am faced with my own ethical debate – do I sit with the beliefs of my church and live a life without a child of mine own -or- do I choice In vitro and face the wrath of God?

Eye banks purchase state-of-the-art equipment, supplies and services to aid in sight restoration. They set the pace for change in the community and are constantly looking for new products, services and technologies.   Now, more than 33,000 cornea transplants are performed each year in the United States.

While cornea transplant surgery was always highly successful, advanced medical technology has improved the success rate to approximately 95 percent.  Since the cornea has no blood supply, it is seldom subject to the rejections that plague other organ transplants. In the beginning, cornea transplant patients had to remain in the hospital for up to two weeks, their heads held still with sandbags to safeguard against rejection.
Now, surgical microscopes and improved instrumentation expedite the procedure for both the surgeon and the patient. Today, cornea transplants are often done on an out-patient basis, and many are made possible with the help of transportation from Yourway Transport.

Two things about eye banking do remain the same—the smile recipients have when their sight is restored and their gratitude to the generous donors who made it possible.

For businesses in the U.S. it just makes sense to outsource to other U.S. businesses, rather than giving money to oversea companies.  Take Yourway Transport for example, many companies outsource to Yourway to manage a company’s parts warehousing, inventory management and distribution with Yourway Transport. Using a wealth of strategic locations and advanced management system, Yourway Transport allows companies to keep their inventory and critical parts within hours – even minutes-of their destination.

Yourway Transport provides wareshousing and logistic services that are completely automated, allowing you to monitor your inventory at any given time. Yourway’s logistic service gives companies the  capabilty of having orders called in at any given time and being dispatched immediately by NFO or ground transport. Outsourcing of logistic services helps to reduce field inventory levels and overhead cost. THe advantages of using Yourway Transport gives improved parts response and service to a companies clients and increased first call resolution rate for service technicians.

Yourway Transport has relocated its facilities to a new 20,000-square-foot space at 7346 Penn Drive in Allentown, Pa, but the will continue to operates offices in the US and UK.

There are always fears when a company expands, but Yourway Transport has developed new operating procedures to help strengthen operational quality.  The company’s new Quality Assurance Process will implement a set of standard operating procedures on a global basis in both the US and UK office in order to oversee its documentation processes.

Bartasi, a media veteran and entrepreneur, has turned her latest vision into another successful reality.  Last month she and her all-female team launched FertilityAuthority – a web portal that’s been tagged “your most trusted source for everything fertility.” Starting a business is no small task, and in the current economic environment, some would even say it’s crazy. But reproductive medicine is a $3 billion industry and FertilityAuthority sees an opportunity to be profitable and make a difference in people’s lives.

This isn’t about an infertility patient launching a website to share her feelings about her diagnosis.  FertilityAuthority boasts the most reliable (fertility information) content on the web, written by seasoned healthcare journalists and vetted by accredited Reproductive Endocrinologists (REs) as well as a library of patient video testimonials and a growing network of bloggers, columnists and message boards. Physicians’ white papers will provide patients with advanced professional research, and the first proprietary database of doctors, fertility clinics and other specialists will connect users with the people they need to know.  The company has a business model to monetize their strategy, is endorsed by a celebrity spokesperson, Alexis Stewart, and they are selling advertising and setting up affiliate marketing relationships.  Links to www.fertilityauthority.com can be found on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

What’s even more impressive than the experience, drive and Ivy League MBAs that give credence to these founding women is the fact that many of them are or have been infertility patients themselves. They have a passion for the project, they know their target audience, and understand that there is a need for one, comprehensive source of fertility information.  In keeping with the theme, the team at FertilityAuthority is building the business through a virtual office allowing flexibility for its employees to work while managing their families and their fertility treatments.

Bartasi has an impressive track record. As founder and CEO of the Leader Publishing Group, she grew the company and its titles to great heights. And while she recognizes that some might see the current economic climate as an obstacle, she and the women behind FertilityAuthority have faced obstacles before. With their new web portal they’re more than willing to face the challenge head on.

The conference (http://www.smi-online.co.uk/events/overview.asp?is=4&ref=3082#overview) addresses the constant challenge for pharmaceutical companies to cut costs and improve their drug supply chain. Among the important topics discussed is the effective transport of clinical trials to investigator sites of patient samples back to central laboratories so a product can be launched on time and within budget.
The conference provides attendees with insight of how other companies do their supply prediction/forecasting, how a drug product/API demand is forecast, and covers outsourcing, adaptive clinical studies. It provides tools to safely and efficiently resolve clinical trials logistical challenges on a global scale, analyzing the latest developments in labeling, packaging, capacity management, resource planning modeling, partnering and outsourcing.

For the employees that are facing employers who factor workplace discrimination into their corporate culture, speak up!  The negative image that the company is portraying needs to be brought to attention.  If it is not, workplace diversity will never fully take effect.  Workplace diversity should be something that comes naturally not something that is forced.

A company that goes beyond identifying workplace diversity is Yourway Transport who provides global transportation has been recognized as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).  At least 51% of the business is owned by women or minorities.  I recently read this on a Yourway Transport press release.

As a expert in the field of server protection, the first question that comes to my mind is…Why did they not have a data-rated server vault to protect their mission critical equipment? A fireproof server vault would have helped to minimize damage and downtime…this is often overlooked by smaller data center providers, but the security of clients’ data can greatly outweigh the cost.

Should more small business be considering data protection, as today’s society continues to move towards a paper-free world, where electronic data becomes the norm?

If you are looking for a data center/hosting provider, I found this article helpful, as it offers some specific questions to ask a potential provider.
