Durham Centre head. IBy George Ashbe MPP Before getting into the topic of this week's report, may 1 take this opportunity to wish ail my constituents in Durham West Riding, "compliments of the Season", with ail the best to- you and yours. At this busy, yet hoiy, timfe of the year rnay I, express the wish that al of your probi ems be ýlittie ones. I There are between 100 and 200 children in Ontario who suffer from a growth hormone deficiency which resuits ina form of dwarfism. The effects of both the defienc'y and the waiting .periodbefore treatrnent can be very tragie for both these chiidren'îand their parents. This deficiency, li&wever-,,caqVI e successfuily treated through injections of an extract màde from pituitary glands. In this respect the Legisiature passed into law legisiation, which would ailow a pathologist to removethe pituitary gland in the course of a coroner's autopsy and to retain it for use in assisting these chiidren. This procedure would be followed except in cases where the pathologist is aware that the- deceased person would have objected or if there is, an -objection from a member of the deceased's family. Approximately 10,000 pituitary glands are needed to meet the dernands of Ontario patients. And although Ontarios volunteer organ donation campaign has been successful in obtaining an increase in these glands, the numbers are not. sufficient enough., Approximately the size of a small fingernail, thie pituitary^ gland is routinely'removed and studied as part of the,,post mortem exèeise. The new legisiation enables, its retention following the autopsy, for use in. treatlng cildren with th deficienicy. The new legfisiation also clearly respects the wishes of any minority group that objects to the removal of this gland. Where the deceased was a member of a group that held such convictions, I think- it very difficuit to imagine a* situation where that concern 'or objection, would not, as a practical matter, be communicated. Even though only a srnall number of children are affected by this deficiency, 1 feel that the successful treatment of even one child is well worth the implementation of this legisiation. *01 G.MAU MNM 4f TECIJNICOLOR' tx @ P A OSIUON Mco- 1350kLB CIQS!%94.9 FM is appointed D'Arcy Place and Durham Centre are both 150-bed resîdences for mentally retarded children and aduits.
