Fetus

An abortion is a procedure that can be done to end pregnancy either by medicine or surgery which involves taking the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus (MedlinePlus website, 2015, para. 1). It is a big choice that can only come from the mother of the fetus that is growing in side of her. Whether the pregnant lady decides to keep the child, put it up for adoption or even have an abortion the decision is something that she is going to have to live with for the rest of her life. It is up…

abortions are inhumane. No child, or fetus should be put through that pain, many families adopt. The practice of abortion should be completely illegal all over the United States and all other countries around the world. A fetus can feel pain after 20 weeks in the womb. According to http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/22/abortion-bill-20-weeks-senate-republicans-democrats ,“Democrats, citing medical research, dispute the science behind the assertion that a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks…

the infections can affect the fetus 10-14 days after conception. A teratogen can stick itself to the uterus blood supply and the fetus. Teratogens can cause problems with the closure of the neural tube, which can cause trouble throughout the whole pregnancy. I want to talk about alcohol and cigarette smoke and the dangers of doing them while pregnant. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous teratogen. Every time a pregnant woman takes a drink, so does her fetus. Alcohol and cigarette smoke are…

the developing fetus with her reply being “My doctor told me it was okay to have a glass of wine once in awhile.” The advice I would give her would be to not drink any amount of alcohol during her pregnancy. I would go on to explain to her what fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is, what is happening developmentally for the fetus in each stage of the trimesters, the negative effects alcohol has on the fetus, the long-term effects it creates, and how that is not fair for the unborn fetus who has no…

The development of the fetus is affected by the body condition of the mother. Problems such as diseases, nutrition, depression and age among others can adversely affect the fetus. Understanding the body processes during pregnancy is significant for the pregnant woman. This knowledge helps in ensuring that they do not jeopardize the development of the fetus, for example through taking drugs. Viral diseases in the mother are a major threat to the fetus due to their small size which the placenta…

The morality of abortion is an argument that has spanned decades with debates on both sides as to whether or not it is right to kill a fetus that is not yet born. Even today, there is still no set motion that humanity follows as a whole, and they have been labelled as being either ‘pro-choice’ or ‘pro-life’ following in their own beliefs as to what is right. There are even many articles, essays, and journals today which exist to validate the point of each of these sides. Many have attempted to…

The procedure of abortion is performed everyday, it is the termination of a human pregnancy. Removing the fetus from the mother 's body is essentially removing what could be a new life. Which draws the question, is abortion morally acceptable? When processing this question several thoughts run through a person 's mind.
