A FERTILIZED HUMAN CELL
.smaller than the dot over
and weighing one
twenty-millionth of an ounce
splits and makes itself two
cells. These cells split into
four. On and on, human
cells multiply until a baby is
born weighing seven or eight
pounds and containing 5
trillion cells.
But occasionally about once in
every 16 births. something goes
wrong. Defective cells are produced
and reproduced. The baby is born
with a visible defect, a clubfoot or,
worse, an unseen imbalance in chemical-producing
organs. He may die of
this defect 34,000 do a year. Or he,
along with 125,000 such infants born
each year, may go through life seri
ously handicapped.
The thalidomide tragedies of last
year in which drugs taken early in
pregnancy resulted in the birth of
deformed children concentrated the
public's attention on this medical
problem as never before. Yet it is a
timeless one and an immense one.
Only accidents cause more disa
bility among children, although com
pared with a generation ago many
deformed infants now have a good
chance at normal life, and there are
hopes, some immediate and some dis
tant, of finding even further solutions
to childhood's major medical problem.
Take one of the more familiar con
genital defects, cleft palate. A mother
with two normal children recently
gave birth to a child whose two halves
of the upper jaw failed to close. Years
ago, surgeons waited until the child
was six or seven before operating.
Meantime, the gap frequently be
came infected, and the child lost his
hearing. Even if he didn't, the late
operation left him badly scarred.
This particular child was operated .
on when less than two years old. A
surgeon took soft tissue and formed
it over the gap; soon it would heal,
leading to an almost totally normal
palate. The boy is developing normal
ly. There are no visible scars, and
he probably will not have to undergo
speech therapy.
But still left unanswered are basic
questions. Why a cleft palate at all?
