		The French Academy of Medicine, preoccupied by the concerns that arose in the public regarding medical exposure to X rays and radioactive waste in the environment, and by erroneous information that these topics give rise to, wishes to express its position.
		The Academy of Medicine, joining the position of other large international institutions, strongly states that such calculations have no scientific validity, notably to evaluate the risks associated with low dose or dose rate radiation such as in the case of the fallout from Chernobyl outside the USSR.
		In agreement with many international institutions, the Academy denounces the improper use of the concept of the collective dose to this end, since these procedures are without any scientific validity, even if they appear to be convenient for administrative purposes.

		A 1992 report by the Academy had made the same recommendation, but according to the report, its "poor acceptance" was supposedly due to the (false) belief that the "only solution" for HIV+ pregnant women is "abortion."
		Anecdotal figures from HIV workers are that AIDS organizations in France which deal with children find that "70% of the mothers are African women." French AIDS organizations like AIDES have, in the past, documented the practice of involuntary testing of African and Maghrebi pregnant women.
		Given the existing, documented violations of informed consent of African and Maghrebi pregnant women, current practice in French hospitals constitute a de facto racist and sexist policy of targetting African and Maghrebi women, assumed to be potential HIV carriers, for mandatory or even forced testing.

	THE QUR'AN AND MODERN SCIENCE by Dr. Maurice Bucaille (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		I was invariably told that the 'author' of the Qur'an simply compiled, in a slightly different form, stories of sacred history taken from the Bible; the 'author' was said to have added or removed certain passages, while setting forth the principles and rules of the religion he himself had founded.
		Since then, I have not found in the Qur'an any support given to the myths or superstitions present at the time the text was communicated to man. This is not the case for the Bible, whose authors expressed themselves in the language of their period.
		On November 9, 1976, I gave a lecture to the Academia de Medecine (French academy of Medicine) in which I explored the statements of the origins of man contained in the Qur'an; the title of the lecture was 'Donnees physiologiques et embryologiques de Coran'(Physiological and Embryological Data in the Qur'an).
