SOS: Save our Science - Inside Endometriosis

I wrote this after reading the BBC article about the same paper. The work was very poorly explained, and the findings were completely mistranslated. However, this time the original paper was pretty good, although filled with statistics (Bleh!)

All women hate periods, but a small percentage have it much worse than others. They suffer from endometriosis; severe pains and poor fertility throughout their reproductive life. The illness is often passed down through families, so must be partially dependent on genes. A new study has identified where some of these genes may occur.
