FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME

Kenneth L. Jones MD1

In the wake of recent government legislation mandating warning labels and of Michael Dorris' fine book, The Broken Cord,1 in which the pain and frustration experienced by the father of a child who has the fetal alcohol syndrome is documented, the American public is gaining much needed information regarding the deleterious effects of alcohol on the unborn baby. A review of the scientific evidence regarding this issue is, therefore, timely. Unfortunately, the review published in this issue of Pediatrics in Review is rather one-sided. A response to each of the points made by Alpert and Zuckerman is beyond the scope of this critique.
