    For multiple decades pregnant women, mostly women of color, who are living in Baltimore, Maryland have not received proper prenatal care. Although a significant number of pregnant women within the city typically initiate prenatal visits within the first trimester, there are still many of those women who are receiving late or no care.

    The increase of knowledge regarding the topic altering genes has become rapid and have open and paved the hope of designing your own perfect baby. Even today, the use of reforming and adjusting the genes of an unborn child is being put in effect. “Techniques of genetic screening are already being used, whereby embryos can be selected by sex and checked for certain disease-bearing genes.

Altering the babies genes can not only harm the baby, however, can also terminate the baby.…

The documentary sparked my interest in the subject and I wanted to learn more in-depth about the topic. In addition, I intend on pursuing an occupation focused on alternative health care and when offered, I prefer to use alternative health methods when possible.

The topic of medicalization of childbirth has made me think twice about using medical interventions in the future in regards to childbirth,…
