FDA Testing Reveals , Bird Flu Virus , in 1 in 5 Milk Samples.
'Time' reports that the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has warned that traces of bird flu have been found
in nearly one-fifth of commercial milk samples tested. .
In a statement released on the agency's website,
the FDA said that traces of the virus do not
necessarily indicate a risk to consumers. .
According to the FDA, more tests are needed
to confirm if intact pathogens that remain
infectious are present in the samples.
Those tests would determine , "whether there is any risk of illness
associated with consuming the product.".
'Time' reports that the results of the study
come as a stark warning of how quickly the
virus is spreading among dairy cows in the U.S.
The virus has already killed millions of birds globally,
raising both health and food security concerns,
as well as spooking global markets.

Alabama Governor Signs, IVF Protection Bill .
On March 6, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed
legislation aimed at protecting in vitro fertilization
patients and providers from legal liability.
CNN reports that some clinics
are ready to lift a hold on certain
IVF services as early as this week. .
The Alabama bill comes after an
unprecedented state Supreme Court
ruling cast the future of IVF care into doubt.
The Supreme Court case reportedly
stemmed from the accidental destruction
of frozen embryos at a fertility clinic.
The state Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos
are human beings, meaning that those who destroy
them could be held liable for wrongful death.
The latest bill signed into law by the governor
aims to provide both civil and criminal
immunity to providers and patients in the case
of embryos being damaged or destroyed.
However, the fertility clinics say that the new law
doesn't address the core issue and fails to provide
the legal protection necessary to resume care.
The law does not nullify
the Supreme Court’s analysis
that says the law ought to
treat embryos just like people, Katherine Kraschel, assistant professor at
Northeastern University School of Law, via CNN.
CNN reports that experts have warned that
the latest bill could also insulate providers
from standard medical malpractice claims.
The governor stressed that the new law is meant to be
a "short-term measure" and reassured that "there will
be more work to come" on ensuring IVF protections.

Senate Democrats Will Attempt , to Pass Legislation Protecting IVF.
On Feb. 27, Democratic Senator
Tammy Duckworth said that she will seek
an immediate vote on Feb. 28 to pass her
Access to Family Building Act, Reuters reports. .
The push comes after Alabama ruled that embryos are essentially children, causing widespread implications for patients and doctors. .
If you truly care about the sanctity of families,
and you’re genuinely actually honestly interested in protecting IVF, then you need
to show it by not blocking this bill on
the floor tomorrow. It’s that simple, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, via statement.
Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran,
and her husband turned to IVF after
not being able to conceive for 10 years.
They currently have two children. .
I have five embryos that were created
(using IVF); three that were deemed
to be nonviable, would not survive, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, via statement.
Under "personhood laws" such as those
enacted in Alabama, Duckworth said, "I could
be convicted of manslaughter or murder for discarding these three eggs that were nonviable.".

While many Republicans have objected to Alabama's ruling, they are expected to block Duckworth's bill despite indicating otherwise, Reuters reports. .
Duckworth said that if Republicans end up objecting to the bill, she'd "love" to have those individuals named on the record. .
I expect them to, if they live up to the words
that they’re saying, to not block it. But we’ll
see tomorrow when the rubber hits the road, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, via statement
