March of Dimes Clinic Head Forecasts
Pre-Marital Tests for Birth Defects
Before most thoughtful young couples marry,
they do a great deal of planning for the future.
They ponder about jobs, homes of their own,
saving money for their retirement years.
All well and good, but—
The pediatrician-in-chief at famed Johns
Hopkins University Hospital, Baltimore, Md.,
wishes they would invest as much thought—be-
fore marriage—in their planning for healthy
children.
Dr. Robert E. Cooke predicts the development
of pre-marital tests which would forewarn of
genetic deficiencies or flaws in either or both
parties to a marriage that could cause their chil-
dren to be born with
serious defects due to
heredity.
Dr. Cooke speaks
from extensive knowl-
edge of the problem.
In addition to his aca-
demic position, he is
responsible for the
Birth Defects Specisil
Treatment Center at
Johns Hopkins, which
is financed by March
of Dimes contributions
from the Baltimore
City and County chap-
ters of the National
Foundation.
The genetic tests
which Dr. Cooke sees
for the future would
bring to light gene
patterns in potential
parents that could
cause their children
to be born deaf, blind,
mentally retarded or malformed.
By the same token, the tests when adequately
developed would also reassure the vast majority
of young couples of the likelihood of their hav-
ing normal, healthy families.
What if a young couple agrees to undergo
these searching tests, and the results show they
might have babies with congenital malforma-
tions? Would such a marriage be forbidden?
Tests Are No Bar To Marriage
“By no means,” Dr. Cooke said in a recent
interview. “The tests should be voluntary. An
unfavorable prognosis or prediction should not
provide, in my view, either legal or moral
grounds for advising against marriage.
“The results of biochemical examination of
their blood and cell enzymes should be made
available to prospective parents and the outlook
for their offspring made quite clear. But ulti-
mate decision as to marriage should be left to
the individuals themselves.”
Dr. Cooke added that genetic defects in the
husband and wife may also be the cause of
childlessness.
Pursuing his line of thought further, Dr.
Cooke said that our young people should be
given a better understanding of this subject.
Proper instruction would minimize anxiety and
permit them to plan their futures in a mature
manner. The noted pediatrician would like to
see more genetic investigation and counseling
of patients by physicians—he calls it “anticipa-
Dr. Robert E. Cooke
tory medicine.” He feels that medical students
should become much more knowledgeable about
human embryology.
“More than a quarter of a million babies with
significant birth defects are born every year in
the United States—almost 700 daily. Until scien-
tific research can develop means to prevent these
tragedies, young people who are the mothers
and fathers of future generations should under-
stand how and why they happen,” he said.
Such premarital tests as Dr. Cooke advocates
are not practical today on a widespread basis
because of a lack of appropriate laboratories.
“But with increased research in birth defects,
and with improvement in our medical technol-
ogy and our laboratory facilities, genetic tests
will soon become practical and feasible,” he pre-
dicted.
“Through them we may well come to the
actual detection of future birth abnormalities
and possibly prevent many by proper handling
of the pregnancy.”
He Defines ‘Birth Defects’
Dr. Cooke says there is a great confusion re-
garding the term “birth defects.” Medically,
these are congenital anomalies caused by genetic
factors or by injury to the embryo during its life
in the womb. Most of the general public mis-
takenly believes that birth defects are limited
to those apparent at birth, such as missing ex-
tremities, an enlarged head (hydrocephalus) or
open spine (spina bifida). But many more subtle
birth defects are not disclosed until maturity
and even middle age.
For example, severe high blood pressure ap-
pearing in later life has been shown in many
instances to result from congenital malforma-
tions of the blood vessels of the kidneys, a dis-
order present at birth but unrecognizable at that
time. Birth defects also account for many cases
of diabetes, urological disorders and gout that
do not become apparent until middle life. The
list could be substantially lengthened, Dr. Cooke
pointed out.
The Birth Defects Special Treatment Center at
Johns Hopkins is one of a rapidly growing num-
ber of centers in various parts of the nation
financed by National Foundation chapters using
March of Dimes contributions. They provide
comprehensive medical care for victims, with
emphasis on early diagnosis, prevention of dis-
ability, rehabilitation and expansion of knowl-
edge concerning birth defects.
In addition, the voluntary health organization
has established university-affiliated birth de-
fects clinical study and research centers in
Columbus, Ohio, Oklahoma City, and Nashville,
Tenn. A similar program of March of Dimes-
supported treatment and research centers in
arthritis is also in effect across the country.
“Birth defects cause 21,000 deaths each year
in the United States,” says Dr. Cooke. “That’s
twice the toll taken by tuberculosis and ten
times the annual number of deaths from whoop-
ing cough, measles, polio and infectious hepatitis
combined.
“The National Foundation-March of Dimes
is taking a historic forward step in searching for
a preventive. Until it is found, one thing we
might do is to determine, before marriage, what
types of family genetic histories are likely to
lead to the calamity of major birth defects. The
means to do it are within our reach.”

JURY FUND
YOUR LEGAL NAME
Most probably you are never
quite sure whether your wife
should use your first name, or
her own, when signing an im-
portant paper.
Perhaps you also wonder
whether to put a “Mr.” or a
“Mrs.” in front of a signature;
and you can get all mixed up a-
bout a “Jr.” or a “Sr.” after it.
Then, what about your middle
name or initial?
It seems that for centuries
under a common law, a legal
name has consisted of one Chris
tian or given name and one sur-
name or family name. The law
presumes that every person has
a given name and a surname
which must be stated in full on
any legal document.
The law pays little attention
to a middle name or initial, but
it is wise to use either one or
the other for exact identifica-
tion. You must be consistent,
too. For example, one real es-
tate buyer was advised to sign
all papers by his full name Wil-i
liam Alton Smith, Jr.” to make
it clear which of the Bill Smiths
was buying the property.
If you are a “Jr.” or a “Sr.”
such description should be used
to help distinguish you from
namesakes.
As for “Mr” in front of your
name, that’s not important at
all. The same is true for “Mrs.”
because it’s your wife’s own giv
en name that counts.
When a woman marries, she
takes her husband’s family
name. Her maiden surname is
absolutely lost. Many women in-
correctly use their husband’s
full name, and sign “Mrs. Wil-
liam A. Smith”, for example.
The correct way is for her to
sign her own given name and
her husband’s surname such as
“Joan Marie Smith”.
A divorced woman who wants
to resume the use of her maid-
en name may, under some cir-
cumstances, have it returned to
her by court order.
