Embryo transfer

It is evident that there are multiple factors that can affect the health of women during pregnancy. Although it may seem that the factors are in the woman’s control, the lack of resources, the beliefs and culture, and the society in Ladakh India impact both maternal and infant health. Widespread use of biomedical services is shown in both an ecological context, as well as a cultural context. In an ecological context, hypoxia associated with the high altitude of the region places stresses on…

that the, “embryo merits respect as a form of human life, but not the same level of respect accorded to an individual,” (Kristol and Cohen). This can be translated to mean that the embryo should be respected in its abilities to develop further, but should not be abused. That respect does not extend to treating it as a living person. The question of ethics on this issue brings up many pro-life supporters, which are against abortion. The idea of abortion is applied in the sense that the embryo is…

The Buffon's macaw will be found living in the deep canyons and dry plateaus of Honduras and Columbia. They will usually nest on the cliffs, ledges and rock faces. The Buffon’s macaw is a large parrot with a body that is mainly yellowish-green. Their forehead is a scarlet color, and their shoulders are a beautiful blue. They have a red tipped with blue on the top of their tail. They are 26 to 34 inches long and have a 44 to 50 inch wingspan. They will weigh 2.7 to 3.5 pounds. The Buffon's…

cell research. The negative and positive effects it would have on a fetus led to a heated debate about embryonic stem cell research, as it is also called. There is a big question about the ethics evaluation that researchers must do. Even if the embryos used for research have been fertilized for research purposes or are aborted fetuses, they are still human lives that will be disposed of when they have served their purpose. This is why religious groups, moral activists, and the government are…

From a tiny gathering of cells to an active baby- fetal growth is an astounding process. A developing fetus has many stages that occur week by week. Every stage in a fetus’s life is absolutely essential. Life before birth in the developmental process is broken down into three distinct stages. These stages are known as germinal stage, embryonic stage, and then the fetal stage. The stage known as the germinal stage starts at conception and lasts as long as two weeks. Another way to describe the…

This study pertains to the health of women and embryo, preconception and during pregnancy, when exposed to potentially teratogenic drugs. Stated in the introduction of the study, teratogenic drugs may in fact pose a major threat to the embryo due to its destructive nature in some cases. These drugs are capable of causing abnormal changes to the normal growth of the embryo or fetus, thus leading to improper function and/or structure. At such early stages of growth, these changes are almost…

cells from this type requires its destruction.’’ Embryonic cell research is killing small embryo’s that could eventually become a human beings. The cells might not be able to cure illnesses that they are supposed to treat and they are destroying embryos in attempt to find solutions from the embryonic cells. It’s like destroying a bird egg just to see if you can do…

1. Monozygotic twins-Twins resulting from one zygote that at an early stage of development separated into independently growing cell aggregations giving rise to two individuals of the same sex and identical genetic constitution. I've always heard of "identical twins" but most of my life I had never heard of the scientific term monozygotic twins. Learning the scientific word is a definite increase in my own personal knowledge. 2. Umbilical cord-A flexible cordlike structure containing blood…

Women with epilepsy are at an increased risk for poor pregnancy outcomes and must continue taking medication throughout their pregnancies in order to address epileptic seizures. In animals, fetal exposure to antiepileptic drugs can produce behavioral deficits and cognitive deficits, alter neurochemistry, and reduce brain weight. Risks of medication exposure to the fetus must be balanced against potential risks to the mother and the fetus posed by epileptic seizures. Regardless, medication and…
