Dying Fetus

Approximately 3,000 abortions take place every day in the United States (Snyder). Those abortions add up to more than one million abortions per year. For years, people from all over the world have fought back and forth in the abortion debate. The pro-life side of the debate argues that abortion should not be legal. They also argue that abortion denies the right-to-life of the baby, and threatens both the mental and physical health of the mother. This side of the debate comes from many different…

Everyone on all walks of life should be given a fair chance. At the same time, second chances are the epitome of why we are humans, a species of emotions and intelligence. Animals are inherently different than us because they do not question why they act the way they do. There are so many variables that come to play but we can all agree that people desire to be treated equally and fairly. In Pregnant, and No Civil Rights, written by Lynn M. Paltrow and Jeanne Flavin, is an article that focuses…

women, they fight for the rights of both the woman and the baby. One of the most famous arguments against abortion is: abortion is murder. The Pro-Life side believes that life begins at conception (“The Best Pro-Life Arguments”). This means that the fetus is a human, and any human killing another human-being is considered murder in their eyes. Another point that is commonly found when speaking out against abortion is: each child is a wanted child. Even if that specific woman did not want the…

abortion procedures offered to women are suction curettage abortion and medicinal abortion and both have physical risks associated with them. Suction curettage abortions use instruments to physically remove the fetus from a woman’s uterus and medical abortions use pharmaceutical drugs to cause the fetus to be expelled from the uterus. Drugs of any kind are always risky because different people suffer different side effects. It’s a fact that when instruments and suction are placed into a woman’s…

Fetal Development Introduction Fetal development is the growth and maturation of the fetus in utero (Fetal Developmet, 2009). It is divided into three periods: the zygote period, the embryonic period, and the fetal period. In the short span of two-hundred and sixty-six days a single fertilized cell develops into a human newborn infant (Figure 1). Interest has increased in the prenatal period as a staging period for well-being and disease in later life. It has enormous attention devoted to the…

individual throughout its lifetime (Barker 1998). Critical phases are the stages in gestation whereby fetal programming is most sensitive due to the developmental plasticity of the fetus. Later in pregnancy, there is a loss of plasticity, so exposure to malnutrition or different essential nutrients will impact the fetus at varying rates throughout the pregnancy. Based on birth weights, a variety of outcomes can occur later in life including certain precursors to disease including precursors to…

The Truth When I found out I was pregnant, I had no education, was not married, and had no financially stability, and I didn’t once think to myself “My life is over”. I did not have the slightest thought of “what am I going to do? Should I keep this baby?” Although not financially or emotionally prepared to have a child, I knew I was going to have this child. There wasn’t any other option in my head. I knew I had all the support in the world from my family and that everything was going to be…

pregnancy, it was 19 weeks pregnant. In this paper, I will provide different options my patient can consider and will be applying health care principles and theories to support the options offer to her. I believe that helping this young lady keep the fetus for the rest of pregnancy and then given the baby for adoption will be a better option for my patient. As a health care provider I have morally and ethically responsibly to help patient because she was sexually assaulted by her father. One of…

conception? At birth? Somewhere in between? It’s a difficult question to answer, but many have tried to define a line. Although a fetus does have some rights, I believe the fetus and embryo should have nearly complete protection and the development of their senses should be taken into consideration when debating this topic. Between conception and 20-24 weeks, a fetus has little to no rights separate from the mother, depending on which state the abortion occurs in. An embryo is…

Although there can be cheap ways to exterminate a fetus, it has never been one hundred percent safe for the mother, especially in nineteen twenty-seven. Abortions have always been looked down upon and are hardly acceptable in some areas in twenty fourteen. For the American to describe an abortion as “perfectly…
