A lawsuit has been filed against 2 biological supply companies, claiming that they sold fetal tissues acquired between the time-frame of 2009-2015 from planned parenthood at extremely expensive prices around the world which is against the law. The biological companies claim that the allegations of overpricing dead fetal tissues extracted from aborted babies held against them are just “accounting issues”. The 2 companies has charged as much as $700 a vial for fetal tissue that only costed them just $20 to process, according to prosecutors. A law professor at UC Irvine, Michele Goodwin stated that almost all companies that process human tissue charge huge mark-ups, including some “that make this look like this is nothing,” she said. “Why not go after the big fish here?” said Goodwin who is a member of the Planned Parenthood Board.…
In the article “Living Incubators, Fetal Container or Womb with legs”? by Melanie DeMaeyer states that women should be able to have control of their own bodies, and have their own image of pregnancy, and not what society should have you look like. The main idea DeMaeyer focuses on is that every woman should have the right what to choose, and what to do with their bodies. In this article DeMaeyer big argument is that women should not be thought of as objects, or “others”, and should be equal and a part of today’s society.…
Late-Term Abortion A Colorado woman accused of cutting open the belly of a pregnant woman, who was responding to a Craigslist ad, and removing the unborn child to show her family she was expecting a baby herself, is not being charged with murder. Under Colorado law, the perpetrator can only face such murder charges if the baby was alive outside the womb. Abortion opponents in Colorado have unsuccessfully pressed actions to pronounce a fetus as a human being, which would thus enable homicide charges to be filed for their bereavements. (Lacey-Bourdeaux) In simple terms, and granted current abortion laws, an abortion was performed outside of a clinic.…
Consentimiento There have been several situations in history including what belongs to whom. There are more laws on possession than most people would be willing to count. Consent should be given as an official count of giving something significant over to another person, whether it be a car, house, or even organ donations. Not only is it illegal to take these things, it is incredibly immoral to do with or without a law. Before laws were implemented, doctors could take from their patients as they pleased.…
Matthew Viegelmann Mrs. Evans English IV Honors 20 October, 2016 Life or Death, if you create something should you be able to kill it? The notion of playing god like Victor did with the creatures in Frankenstein is comparative to the same issue that courts have with abortion laws. Various angles of abortion can be quite overwhelming as well as who makes the final decision. Many governments have struggled to strike what they believe to be a balance between the rights of pregnant women and the rights of fetuses. Before life is started, generally, an individual has thought about whether or not they want to create life.…
You succinctly described the need for fetal homicide laws. “Few topics in American jurisprudence have generated as much ideological debate as the status and rights of the unborn” (Holzapfel, 2002). As you noted, the unborn should be protected from violence due to their inherent vulnerability. “The experience of violence during pregnancy has been linked to a number of adverse fetal outcomes including low birth weight, preterm labor and/or delivery, low maternal weight gain, kidney infection, antepartum hemorrhage, cesarean delivery, fetal wastage/miscarriage and fetal/neonatal death” (Taillieu & Brownridge, 2010). By defining a fetus as a “person,” as a society we give notice to those that will do harm to pregnant women that they will be prosecuted…
Title Abortion has been a well-versed debate for as long as anyone can remember. It has been a lengthy fight because no matter what, everyone is going to have his or her own opinions and views that are bound to clash with others’. The controversy of abortion has grown quite large over the years, and with this growth, an increase in violence and protests has tagged along for the ride. THESIS…

In couples with at least two miscarriages , there is a balanced chromosome rearrangement in one of a partners. The most common of these is a segment of nonhomologous chromosome has exchanged places with a segment of a normal chromosome .If there is a such a rearrangement , the chromosomes have difficulty to be paired up and divided normally during meiosis. The result of these is that an unbalanced amount of chromosomal material (deficiencies) possessed usually by gametes. These abnormal balances are usually fatal for the embryo that is developing or fetus causing as a result an miscarriage.…
Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) is a death that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly in infants less than 1 year of age. According to the CDC, accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed, unknown cause, and Sudden infant death syndrome are the most common types of SUID. Accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed normally happen when infants are placed on the stomach or side to sleep.…
It is a very severe matter when a child dies at such a young age. Along with abortions, stillbirths are also a risk that a mother faces after consuming alcohol. Any “fetal demise that occurs after the 20th week” is no longer considered a miscarriage, but a stillbirth and “6.22 of every 1000 pregnancies” end in a stillbirth every year in the United States (Bailey and Sokol 88-89). Again, every defect has a risk, and that risk increases when a mother drinks while the child is still inside her. For stillbirth,, there is a “40% increase of stillbirth for women who consumed any alcohol” during their pregnancy (Bailey and Sokol 88-89).…
The Controversies of Extreme Preemies Of all the babies that are admitted to NICUs, prematurely born children seem to be the most controversial. The controversy begins because sometimes parents must make an agonizing ethical choice of whether or not to keep their child alive when machines or the only thing doing so. Every life is worth trying to save, but there may be a point, financially, physically, and mentally, when the survival of preemies may be doing more harm than good to both the child and their parents. There are many studies and expert opinions that back the idea of going to great lengths to save the lives of extremely premature babies. It should be noted that when it comes to the controversy over ethics, “A large majority of the parents in all countries (93 to 100 percent) considered the physician’s opinion in decisions regarding resuscitation status” (Baer & Nelson, 2007).…
I believe that all women considering abortion should be provided with the option to view the fetal sonograms, but should not be required to view the image if they do not desire to. The fetal sonogram, or ultrasound is a medically recommended procedure for various reasons throughout the pregnancy’s trimesters, but there is no medical recommendation for getting one prior to an abortion (American Pregnancy Association, 2017). There is currently a lot of research going on looking into whether or not viewing a fetal sonogram changes the mind of pregnant women to not proceed with the abortion. Beginning in the mid-1990s, there has been a movement to push fetal sonograms into being a part of the process to get an abortion (Guttmacher Institute, 2017). There are two common themes that have appeared in most…
EWC462 November 4, 14 Dr. Winslade Medical Ethics: Wednesday 4-5 Abortion The abortion dispute inquires whether it should be ethically permissible to terminate a pregnancy before traditional delivery. Multitudes of people in our society today have made the decision to end their pregnancy due to very logical personal reasons. I believe that in certain circumstances, abortion is an optimistic option. While many people believe that abortion is a sin, I choose to have an open mind on the idea that abortion is sometimes the only option for many people.…
