Fetuses Being Drugged in Womb to Prevent Obesity

Researchers are giving drugs to fetuses to see if it keeps them from being born fat. Even if the drug is 'relatively safe', this can only happen in a system that's gone insane.


'Finding new uses for old drugs is big money. To that end, metformin, a generic diabetes drug, is being given to fetuses to see if it can prevent them from becoming obese. Trials are popping up in several countries, and at least one has already begun in the UK.


Just five years ago, metformin was considered a potential teratogen, that is, a cause of birth defects. Now, though, it's suddenly being seen as perfectly safe. So safe, in fact, that researchers are jumping at the chance to give it to fetuses to see if it might prevent obesity when they're born. However, the claim that metformin is safe does not appear to be universally accepted.'
