Teen pregnancy is not a new phenomenon, but has only become a problem when the average age of pregnancy went up. For females ages 15 (2011) make up 23 out of every 1000 births…

In the video, Dr. Scott Rae is making the comparison of using medical technology in the assist of procreation and using medical technology with the everyday usage of human’s bodily organs.

Judith Thompson’s unconscious violinist analogy argues that even if the foetus has the right to live, it does not have the right to use someone else’s body. You wake up one day and find yourself attached to someone else’s body, and discover that you were kidnapped and this person’s…
