Pregnant women are at more than double the risk of going into labor early than…

abortion, premature birth, and retarded growth have been documented. Research was done using rats with exposure to toluene to investigate the validity of birth defects. Three groups of rats were exposed to the same level of toluene during mating, gestation, and both. Researchers observed weight reductions in the fetuses that were exposed during the pregnancies. In both mating and gestational groups, skeletal soft tissue deformations were observed (Bowen 2006). The Love Canal tragedy was…

(2013) defined spontaneous abortion as a miscarriage occurring within the first 22 weeks of gestation, the time between a mother’s last menstrual cycle and birth.

However, when researchers could not get the mice ES cells to form human cells, scientists turned their attention to retrieving hES cells…
