I would like to see safety studies of ultrasound.

It seems we use ultrasound, for example on every baby, and don't have good data to prove that there are no side effects.

Yet research like this shows that there clearly are biological effects of sufficiently powerful ultrasound.

What if societies lack of future Einstein's is down to blasting the brains of all of them with ultrasound pre-birth?

I'm guessing that those that hang out on Hacker News don't come across too many issues of Midwifery Today?
