UM: Editorial

The Detroit Free Press reports that Dr. Lazar Greenfield, a University of Michigan emeritus professor of surgery, may lose his status as president-elect of the American College of Surgeons, a national surgeon’s group. Greenfield has recently come under fire after writing a Valentine’s Day editorial in Surgery News that argued semen is a positive mood-enhancer for women. Using rates of depression among college-aged women, Greenfield wrote that those who had unprotected sex were “significantly less depressed” than their counterparts who used condoms. Greenfield has resigned as editor of Surgery News and he may be forced to resign as president-elect of ACS. [Source]
