He Defines Birth Defects

DR.. Cooke says there is a great confusion re-
gardlng the term birth defects" Medically,
these are congenital anomalies caused by genetic
factors or by injury to the embryo during its life
IN the womb. Most Of the general public mis-
takenly believes that birth defects are limited
to those apparent at birth, such as missing ex-
tremltles, an enlarged head lhydrocephalus? or
open spine (Spina bifida). But many more subtle
birth defects are not disclosed until maturity
and even middle age.
For example, severe high blood pressure APP
pearlng IN later life has been shown in many
instances to result from congenital malforma-
tons OF the blood vessels of the kidneys, a dis
order present at birth but unacceptable at that
time. Birth defects also account for many cases
or diabetes, THEOLOGICAL disorders and govt that
do not become apparent until middle life. The
list could be substantially heightened, DR.. Cooke
pointed out.
The Birth Defects Special Treatment Center at
Der of centers in various parts Of the nation
financed by National Foundation chapters using
March OF Dimes contributions. They provide
comprehensive medical care for victims, with
emphasis on early diagnosis, prevention of dis
ability, rehabilitation and expansion of knowl-
edge concerning birth defects.
In addition, the voluntary health organization
has established university-afiliated birth de-
fects clinical study and research centers in
Columbus. Ohio, Oklahoma City, and Nashville,
Tenn. A similar program Of March of Dimes
supported treatment and research centers in
arthrltls IS also in effect across the country.
Birth defects cause 81, 900 deaths each year
IN the United States" says DR.. Cooke. That's
twice the toll taken by tuberculosis and ten
times the annual number of deaths from whoop-
ing cough, measles, polio and infectious hepatitis
combined.
.The National Foundation-March of Dimes
is taking a historic forward step in searching for
a preventive. Until it is found, one thing we
might do is to determine, before marriage, what
types of family genetic histories are likely to
lead to the calamity of major birth defects. The
means to do 1t are within our reach"

mentally retarded or malformed.
BY the same token, the tests when adequately
developed would also reassure the vast majority
of young couples of the likelihood of their hav-
ing normal, healthy families.
What if a young couple agrees to undergo
these searching tests, and the results show they
might have babies with congenital malforma-
tons? Would such a marriage be forbidden?
Tests Are No Bar To Marriage
"By no means" DR.. Cooke said in a recent
interview. THE tests should be voluntary. An
unfavorable prognosis or prediction should not
provide, in my view, either legal or moral
grounds for advising against marriage.
The results of biochemical examination of
their blood and cell engines should be made
available to prospective parents and the outlook
Tor their offspring made quite clear. But ulti-
mate decision as to marriage should be left to
the individuals themselves"
DR.. Cooke added that genetic defects in the
husband and wife may also be the cause of
childlessness.
Pursuing his line of thought further, DR..
Cooke said that our young people should be
given a better understanding of this subject.
Proper instruction would minimize anxiety and
permit them to plan their futures in a mature
manner. The noted pediatrician would like to
see more genetic investigation and counseling
OF patients by physicians-he calls it "anticipa-
