Prenatal genetic testing is beginning to become more at ease as mentioned by Carolyn Gonter in her 2004 article, The Expressivist Argument, Prenatal Diagnosis, and Selective Abortion: An Appeal to the Social Construction of Disability: As the ease of prenatal genetic testing increases alongside an increase in the number and variety of conditions testable, so does the general view, both in medical and social communities, that prenatal testing is a logical extension of good prenatal care with the goal of healthy babies. (p. 1) Some people argue having the screening performed on expecting mothers will be more harmful to the health of the unborn child and the mother, than helpful.

For the first time in my life, I had the opportunity to create a genogram that would explore the history of myself and family. Much like a family tree, a genogram is a visual display of a person’s family relationships, psychological issues, medical history, culture and other hereditary likelihoods. Unfortunately, I was hoping to have been able to learn and share a lot about my family history but was unable to due to limited resources and lack of knowledge. Much of my genogram is composed of the things that I already know about my family and from stories that were shared with me, the main reasons I was unable to gather information is because of death and separation of my family both in the past and recently. I would like to start my genogram with my family connections, starting with Elvira, who was my paternal Grandmother, she was the foundation of my family.…
Preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome and eclampsia are part of a spectrum of hypertensive disorders specific to pregnancy. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity worldwide. The root cause of hypertensive disorders specific to pregnancy is the placenta. As the cytotrophoblastic tissue of the placenta fails to widen the maternal spiral arteries – this is called decreased spiral remodeling. This causes decreased tissue perfusion (ischemia) in the placenta, called defective placentation.…

In “Sick Around the World” examined multiple countries with different versions of universal healthcare, and it also talked about how sick our own system is. As much as we don’t want to increase taxes we have to take a deep breath and dive in and pay more taxes and getting universal care for everyone in the United States. I think the universal care that the U.S. should adopt is Great Britain, because we have similar things already. Both governments are involved in the healthcare policy, both of our doctors are paid very well, but the part that Britain has over us is that everyone has healthcare. The biggest concern in the U.S. is that the doctors are not going to be paid enough for their lavish lifestyle.…
One very shocking study found that eighty-six percent of all abortions are performed for the sake of convenience. The Christian belief is abortion is wrong. One should never take the life of a harmless little baby. Rather than killing the child, he or she should be put up for adoption.
