Life Expectancy/pg. 354: The number of years that an average person at any age, including newborns, can expect to live The average life expectancy of someone living in an Asian culture is around 80. That is with the assumption that someone is allowed to live. Since women live longer than men, there is a possibility that this number would be very if the population of women was equal to that of men. A lot of the women’s life expectancy is that they will not live. Many Asian girls are abandoned…

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder that can be passed down from generation to generation. It is caused by a deficient hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which is an enzyme in the liver that catalyzes the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine, using the coenzyme, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). One treatment for PKU would be to have a restricted diet because PKU does not allow for the process of phenylalanine, which is a protein found in many foods (Scala et al 2015). With the help of BH4,…

visit to the emergency room, which is much more expensive than an ordinary doctor’s appointment and is payed for by taxpayers. Additionally, as patients no longer had access to birth control or safe abortions (which, by the way, aren’t funded by the government), the number of unplanned births would increase. Many of these births would be covered by Medicaid, and many of those children would be eligible for Medicaid, along with other…

My observation of this issue if from personal experience. When I was fifteen-years-old I wanted to go on the pill. I had many reasons to want to make this decision and I was very aware of the consequences and side effects that birth control can have. At the time, my friends and the internet make this task seem like a very simple one in Ontario. My first step was to talk to my mom about my decision, many people frown about the idea of their ‘young’ child having sex, and in fact get mad. This can…

Prescribe Birth Control Pills”, published on February 18, 2016, Sarah Breitenbach talks about why and how states are allowing the pharmacists to prescribe birth control to patients without seeing a doctor. In addition to the positive side of this, she also talks about how it can be risky for certain people. Another point she brings up is about not having barriers on birth controls.

There is a reason that the 1 billion poorest people…

health services to women. Some of the services include “Breast and cervical cancer screenings, HIV testing, and birth control” (Our, 2015). Planed Parenthood clinics were first started to make birth control available to women. The Planned Parenthood clinic in Austin was founded in 1937. Struggling with funding, volunteers kept the clinic open so that “The poor… could have access to birth control” (Our, 2015). The clinic grew and became vital due to the changing times. In the 1930’s clinics…

Understanding the Quiverfull/Patriarchy Movement When we think of the Quiverfull movement, or the Patriarchy movement, we do not think of them in anyway as a a threat to our basic freedoms, they are a quirky, weird group. The Quiverfull/Patriarchy movement is not a denomination, but an ideal, their tenets of faith spread in small communities, and individual, albeit, large families across the nation. It is in the way they attempt to infiltrate the mainstream that is troublesome.…
