Once they step out onto the field, they may find their ability to play is as strong as ever.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has shown “remarkable improvement” and “appears to be neurologically intact,” the team said, three days after he collapsed and suffered cardiac arrest during a game. Hamlin remains critically ill, according to the team citing the physicians caring for him, and his lungs are continuing to heal. But amid fears that he could have suffered significant brain damage while his heartbeat was being restored on the field, the announcement came as the most positive news yet about the 24-year-old’s prospects for recovery.

Jan 5 (Reuters) - Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is beginning to learn about the massive outpouring of prayers and support he has received since suffering a cardiac arrest during an NFL game on Monday night in Cincinnati, his doctors said on Thursday. "He's learning it today," Dr. Timothy Pritts of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center said at a news conference, when asked by reporters if Hamlin was aware of the massive support aimed his way. After making a tackle in the first quarter of the nationally televised game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Hamlin stood up, took a few steps and collapsed on his back. The medical staff at the hospital and Hamlin's family have also been lifted by the support, his doctors said. The doctors also praised Hamlin's family, some of whom rode with him from the stadium to the hospital and have been by his side ever since.

He remains on a ventilator in the intensive care unit (ICU) at University of Cincinnati Medical Center to assist his breathing. The physicians said Hamlin had asked who won the game between the Bills and the Bengals. The response: "Damar, you won - you won the game of life," Dr. Timothy Pritts said. They said it was too soon to say whether the hit he took on the field or a preexisting condition caused Hamlin to go into cardiac arrest. The doctors credited the Bills' medical staff for quickly recognizing that Hamlin had no pulse and promptly administering Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

☆ South Carolina Supreme Court overturns state abortion ban
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-05 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

The decision by the South Carolina Supreme Court is based on the state's own constitution, which, unlike the U.S. Constitution, explicitly gives citizens a right to privacy. President Joe Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, in a tweet wrote: "We are encouraged by South Carolina's Supreme Court ruling today on the state's extreme and dangerous abortion ban." The South Carolina Supreme Court on Thursday overturned the state's ban on abortion after around six weeks of pregnancy, ruling that the law violated the state's constitutional right to privacy. South Carolina's abortion ban was again blocked in August, this time by the state Supreme Court, after a new lawsuit was filed seeking to invalidate it. The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court invalidating the federal right to abortion effectively left it up to individual states to regulate pregnancy terminations.

"Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours," the Bills tweeted. Hamlin, 24, has been in intensive care after collapsing on the field from cardiac arrest during "Monday Night Football" on Jan. 2. There has been no official statement about what caused Hamlin's cardiac arrest. It is in this exact moment, experts say, that a blow to the chest in the exact right place can launch an otherwise healthy person into cardiac arrest. Thursday morning, Hamlin's teammate Kaiir Elam said in a tweet, "Our boy is doing better, awake and showing more signs of improvement."

Doctors are calling on the public to familiarize themselves with lifesaving CPR techniques after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during a football game Monday night in Cincinnati. Hamlin received CPR, which stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, to restore his heartbeat on the field, the Bills said in a statement. The American Heart Association said it saw a 200% increase in web traffic to its CPR site after news of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest emerged. More than 30 states require public school students to learn CPR before high school graduation. Another possible solution, Toft said, is for the U.S. to require CPR training to obtain driver’s licenses — a strategy deployed in some Scandinavian countries.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is showing “signs of improvement" and loved ones are "elated" about the player's progress, even while he's still hospitalized in critical condition, his team and family said Wednesday. “Damar remains in the ICU in critical condition with signs of improvement noted yesterday and overnight,” the Bills said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

As the NFL grapples with the terrifying midgame collapse and hospitalization of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, it’s also confronting a rapidly evolving sports landscape in which athletes’ mental health has emerged as a crucial issue. The 24-year-old Hamlin was still in critical condition in the intensive care of a Cincinnati hospital on Tuesday after making a tackle, standing up and then crumbling to the ground during Buffalo’s marquee game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Medical personnel appeared to perform CPR on him for several minutes before he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. He was in cardiac arrest, according to the team, and his heartbeat was restored on-site.

The massive audience makes it the most-watched “Monday Night Football” broadcast since the NFL moved the series to ESPN in 2006, surpassing the previous record of 21.8 million viewers for a Packers-Vikings game in 2009. Monday’s high-profile game, however, was suspended when Hamlin collapsed in the first quarter just moments after an open field tackle of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. During game play, ESPN averaged 21.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings. That audience then grew to 23.9 million viewers between 9 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. when ESPN aired news coverage of Hamlin’s collapse. But I just didn’t want to be speculating.”Before Hamlin’s devastating injury, the game was expected to be among the most-viewed Monday Night Football games in ESPN’s history.

“It is not black and white.”America’s fight over abortion has long circled a question, one that is broad and without consensus:When does life begin? The question of when life begins has been so politicized it can be hard to thoughtfully engage. Ancient Egypt gave the power to create new human life almost entirely to men. The scientific revolution, from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution to reproductive science, disrupted centuries of thought on human life. “When does the responsibility for a life begin and end?”
