NEW YORK -- An Ohio woman who was implanted with the wrong embryo says she hopes to visit soon with the baby boy she delivered and turned over to his biological parents.
Carolyn Savage of the Toledo suburb of Sylvania told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that she has been waiting for her family to finish a run of colds. She says she hopes that in a couple weeks she'll be able to see the child for the first time since the hospital.
On Sept. 24, Savage gave birth to the 5 pound, 3 ounce biological son of Paul and Shannon Morell of the Detroit suburb of Troy, Mich. The families say a fertility clinic outside Ohio made a mix-up with frozen embryos in February.
Savage had a complicated delivery, and says she wants another child but will use a surrogate.
Commercial pigs had swine flu
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that pigs in a commercial herd in Indiana have tested positive for swine flu, making it the first time the virus has been found in such hogs.
The USDA said it discovered four tissue samples that tested positive for the virus using its swine surveillance program.
The sample was collected in late October, and the USDA said the pigs as well as the people caring for the animals have recovered.
Last month, tests confirmed that several show pigs at the Minnesota State Fair contracted swine flu, also known as the H1N1 virus.
The USDA declined to say where in Indiana the sick pigs were located.
USDA officials have stressed repeatedly that instances of pigs with swine flu do not pose a threat to consumers of pork products.
Doctors, Coke may team up
CHICAGO -- Advice about soft drinks and health from one of the nation's largest doctors groups will soon be brought to you by Coke.
The American Academy of Family Physicians has prompted outcry and lost members over its new six-figure alliance with the Coca-Cola Co. The deal will fund educational materials about soft drinks for the academy's consumer health and wellness Web site, www.FamilyDoctor.org.
Academy CEO Dr. Douglas Henley said Wednesday that the deal won't influence the group's public health messages, and that the company will have no control over editorial content. He said the new online information will include research linking soft drinks with obesity and will focus on sugar-free alternatives.
But critics say the Coke deal will water down the advice.
"Coca-Cola, like other sodas, causes enormous suffering and premature death by increasing the risks of obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, gout, and cavities," Harvard University nutrition expert Dr. Walter Willett said in an e-mail.
Myanmar offered better relations
YANGON, Myanmar -- The highest-ranking American diplomat to visit Myanmar in 14 years offered improved relations Wednesday if its military regime moves toward democracy, putting into action the Obama administration's new policy of engagement with the isolated country.
Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell spoke after both talks with the ruling generals and a rare meeting with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been under house arrest for most of the last two decades.
Campbell called on the military -- which has ruled the impoverished country since 1962 -- to open a dialogue with the opposition and ethnic minority groups, which are seeking a measure of autonomy. He also urged the military government to allow Suu Kyi more freedom to meet with people concerned with the political process, particularly her own party's senior executives.
