WELCOME TO THE SUMMER EDITION
 
 
DIDSIG continues to grow, we've launched a new format, and the appointment of a BMC Member Mike Carley sees the encouragement of SIGs on the Web.
We're a bit later than expected with the first issue of DIDMSNJ this year, but we hope it's worth it! A new computer, followed by several disk crashes have slowed things up, but hopefully it's now on a much more secure footing. We're using Microsoft Publisher 98 instead of Corel Ventura. This will mean, 
 
 
amongst other things, that the Journal will get an Internet edition faster, attracting more members, can be produced faster, and the popularity and ease of operation of Publisher will mean it it will be much easier for a change of editor if someone else decides to carry the torch one day!
We deal with very serious issues in DIDMSNJ that also touch rather sensitive areas - not areas that all our members necessarily want to write about themselves for the Journal. SO some issues will concentrate 
 
 
more exclusively on news stories, of which there is ample abundance.
If you want to contribute a news article it's quite easy… look out for  the relevant stories in the newspapers then put it in your own words. (If you're on the Internet, you get dozens of news stories by subscribing to the Right-to-Die and Pro-Life Listservs, or by obtaining atomated, customised newsfeeds from the BBC, Nando HealthNet,  and similar news distribution services. If you need help, just ask us!
