    One of the things that stood out in the article titled The Rituals of American Hospital Birth by Robbie Davis-Floyd, is the introduction paragraph. He starts off with a question and this really got me thinking deeply about childbirth. He then answers the question in the follow sentence. He states, “No matter how long or short, how easy or hard their labors, the vast majority of American women are hooked up to an electronic fetal monitor and an IV, are encouraged to use pain-relieving drugs, receive an episiotomy, and are separated from their babies shortly after birth.” It just doesn’t matter in which conditions, these women they are in; they will be automatically placed under some types of medications.…

Should the child be born?…

    Childbirth practices vary from place to place, the majority of women who is carrying a child or has had a child has a different point of view on where/how they would like to give birth, whether if it 's a cultural belief or not. On the other hand, this is completely different for women who live in china. As it states in the article, “Giving Birth Voices of Chinese Women” by Lynn Callister, it states “Childbirth is influenced deeply by one’s culture (Callister, 1995).Culture “refers to the learned, shared and transmitted values, beliefs, and norms and lifeway practices of a particular group that guides their thinking, decisions and actions in patterned ways” (Leininger, 1985, p. 209).” (Kartchner/Callister, 2003).…

    Many parents struggle with the decision on what kind of childcare is best for their child, a day care center or in-home day care. There are many reasons why parents struggle with this decision. Both provide care for a child while parents are away, and both will have an extra expense that will have to come out of the family budget. Even though, day care center and in-home day care have some similarities these two types of childcare could not be more different from each other like: expense, trust, and exposure. Both day care center and in-home day care has an extra expense.…

    There has been a long existing debate of “Pro-Life” versus “Pro-Choice” about whether or not women should be able to abort a child. Many people being Pro-Choice will use the argument that the fetus isn 't a living person, and rather that it is the woman’s body; therefore the woman’s choice. There are other options women have such as adoption: waiting until the baby is born and providing the child a well-suited family to properly care for them. I believe any way you can avoid aborting a child is better than abortion because you give the child a chance for life. An unborn child in the womb contains all of the characteristics for it to be considered living, proving abortion is morally and scientifically wrong.…

    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. This can lead to either the termination of a pregnancy, or if analyzed at a pre-implantation stage when using In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), can enable the pregnancy to be created using only non-disease bearing genes” (Steere, 2011, para. 6). Altering the babies genes can not only harm the baby, however, can also terminate the baby.…
