Gautam Naik (writer for The Wall Street Journal), wrote the article "A Baby, Please. Blond Hair, Green Eyes” (2009), which details one clinics cosmetic approach to genetically modifying children. Naik supplements his article with background on the underlying topic (how PGD was used in the past and how it can progress), statistical data (a U.S. survey on genetic modification), and testimonial evidence (stating that doctors are opposed to the idea of designer babies). His purpose is to inform readers about the world of gene selection and the way it could potentially progress in order to let the public form an opinion based on facts not speculation. The intended audience is readers of The Wall Street Journal and whoever happens to come across…
The chair features three different levels. You can either enter the baby’s age for automatic level changes as the baby advances with age, or you can manually change the levels with the switch if your baby is advancing at a faster pace.

This is an important developmental period for baby. Babies have their first eye exam at 12 months after born. Infants eye/hand/body coordination continues to evolve, allowing them to grasp and throw objects with some accuracy (Swartout-Corbeil, n.d.). Babies can recognize people and pictures; also, they can look around to find some interesting things. During this period, infants ' eyes color can be changed because of darker pigments in the iris aren 't completely developed at birth.…
I was very intrigued with the TED videos that were assigned to this paper. I am always interested in learning more about how children at such a young age develop everything that is essential for when we age in adulthood. In the first video “What Do Babies Think?” The first experiment included babies that were the age of fifteen to eighteen months. I was amazed to find there was a significant amount of difference between a fifteen-month and an eighteen-month baby and how their brain processes information.…
The book I read was Stolen Children, by Peg Kehret. This was one of my favorite books to read, there was always something new going to happen and I didn’t want to put it down. It was also so realistic, like I would think of myself in a type of situation like this and it’s just unreal to imagine it. Also, if you thought something was going to happen, you would be totally wrong and you wouldn’t believe how off you were in guessing what would happen next, which is why I liked this book so much.…

Vision is the least developed sense of babies at birth; when baby grows, he or she develops own vision perception too. Newborn infants accept the new world, when they open their eyes. Babies' first sight of the world is blurry. During first few weeks from the birth, babies can see about the difference of the lightness, which are black and white. The sensory aspects of infants’ color vision have been extensively studied.…
This occurs as his eye-body coordination develops. Around 6 months of age a baby can focus at any distance and begins mastering the idea of depth perception. Parents can help stimulate their child’s visual development by holding him close so he can study the contrasts of their…
Reading chapter 7, I learned about the social smile which what a baby does when expressing happiness. This smile is evoked by a human face when a baby is at about 6 weeks. Something I didn't know what that a baby doesn't laugh until the 2 to 4 month period. I would think that if a baby expressed anger it seemed as is something was wrong but the trusty is, anger is a healthy response to being frustrated. Despite a baby's attitude being frustrated is very normal.…
