Fetus

when they find the leg, they grab it with forceps, cut off the baby's leg, and then pull it through the birth canal. They then proceed to cut the rest of the body into sections and remove all of the parts except to the head. When they get to the fetus’ head, they jam the scissors into the skull, open the scissors to enlarge the skull, and then remove the scissors. Afterwards, they place a suction catheter in the skull and suck the brains out, this causes the skull to collapse. They then proceed…

uncertainty of the status of fetus and the intangibility of acting right or wrong. The argument against abortion that Singer denied. (138): First Premise: “It is wrong to kill a potential human being.” Second Premise: “A human fetus is a potential human being.” Conclusion: “Therefore, it is wrong to kill human fetus.” Singer is standing at the utilitarianism angle to judge abortion. From the argument above, he thinks the second premise is strong…

this view as they believe life doesn’t begin until there is a fetal heartbeat; even more-so, not until the fetus is born. It’s been scientifically proven that fertilization is a critical point as this is the time a new, genetically distinct human organism is formed. A single cell organism is viewed as “life.” From the time of conception that cell has been programmed, to become a zygote, a fetus, a baby, a child, an old person and death. We as humans are living the cycle of life. Pro-abortion…

sperm fertilizes an egg cell. The zygote becomes a pre-embryo which then turns into a blastocyst, which is a multicellular complex. A blastocyst is basically a hollow structure that houses thousands of cells and will later turn into the skin of the fetus. The cleavage process ends when the blastocyst connects with the uterine wall. Next is implantation, this process begins when the blastocyst connects to the endometrium layer of the uterus. This step is mainly being used for the…

Considering the ethics and values of the citizens of the United States, the killing of unborn children is morally wrong. Abortion, an unethical practice of terminating unborn fetuses should be outlawed because it is scientifically proven that the unborn fetus is a human being, there is no scientific evidence of the absence of fetal pain, and the morbid practice is constitutionally unlawful and morally unfit. The abortion debate in 1973’s Roe vs. Wade, gave women the right to have an abortion…

Lee and George’s paper “The Wrong of Abortion” details the moral wrongness of aborting embryonic beings as it is essentially justified non-intentional killing. Reasoning provided by Lee and George are faulty as it neglects to consider the consequential factors that affect child after birth, complications that arise with giving your child up for adoption and how the abortion can benefit the mother and child. Lee and George begin the paper by defining that embryos and fetuses are essentially…

like metal tool used to grab the fetus out of the woman’s uterus. After the forcep is inserted the uterus, the fetus skull and spine is crushed so that it can be pulled out more effectively. When comparing abortion to other medical procedures people begin to realize that…

Don Marquis’ argument is for the impermissibility of abortion as it is based on the idea that abortion is held to the same regard as “killing an adult human being” due to the fetus having a “future like ours”. Marquis starts off by questioning what makes killing any human being morally wrong? Then, Marquis claims that it is not the “effect on the murderer” or the “effect on the victim’s friends and relatives”, but rather the effect on the victim. He asserts the idea that the “loss of one’s life”…

There are a numerous number of factors that can cause good or harmful things to the fetus. Specifically, there are 3 types of teratogens that can have a negative impact on the fetus’ growth, mental and physical development. The three types of teratogens are Drugs and Medications, Diseases and Genetics. According to Payne and Issacs (2016) a teratogen is “an environmental agent that causes harm to the embryo or fetus.” (p. 74) The teratogens that…
