Ovulation

Women are now able to detect if they are pregnant as early as the day of their missed period through pregnancy tests. They may also get a blood test 6 to 8 days after ovulation which is more reliable. Nonetheless, this gives the woman over 30 days to think about what they would like to do. 30 days may seem like a short time and be said as rushing the woman, but if they really wanted to get an abortion, it would not take…

Is Birth Control Morally Acceptable? Birth control has affected our society in so many ways. More and more couples are turning to contraceptives to avoid impregnation. Birth control has played a huge role in how our society views intercourse. Nowadays intercourse has no real meaning; rather it’s just another way for people to fulfil their own worldly desires. The Bible tells us that intercourse is to be between a man and woman after marriage. That’s how God designed it to be. I believe that…

Infertility is a disease that results in the abnormal functioning of the reproductive system affecting about 1 in 8 couples age fifteen to forty- four (Fast Facts about Infertility).

Breast Milk Matters The truth is, breast milk has always been the superior cuisine for babies, and while labs behind formula companies have painstakingly tried to mimic human mothers milk, artificial infant formula will never be the same and will forever remain inferior and flawed. To no surprise, the American Academy of Pediatrics, alongside most infant and women’s health organizations, recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. The benefits of breastfeeding are…

Analysis I In his article “Social Media: Establishing Criteria for Law Enforcement Use,” Robert D. Stuart discusses law enforcement officers' role when using social media. His claim is one of policy. Despite social media's advantages to share information, and the right of free expression, law enforcement agencies must set a standard for the officers regarding the information that is available to share in social media, in order to avoid dishonoring the institution and themselves. The warrants of…

some people. But common condoms are a must to talk about with your kids, not only does it keep them from becoming a parent but it also keeps them safe from std’s something that could kill them.

The author explores the question if the clusters in the genome represent the pleiotropic effects or if the clusters are actually linked clusters. Dominic Wright states that the…

Sexual selection has long been recognized as a powerful evolutionary process having important consequences on reproductive behaviour, morphology, and fitness (Birkhead and Pizzari, 2002). Sexual selection research has often focused on pre-copulatory mate choice; however, the discovery of female promiscuity and polyandry has lead to the realization that mate choice continues to operate after copulation (Birkhead and Pizzari, 2002). For males, it is obvious that promiscuity has evolved to increase…

Decision making is a process that involves evaluating pros and cons, considering benefits and drawbacks, and taking into account varying scenarios. On the government scale, reaching conclusions comes with much more complexity as varying politics, ethics, perspectives, arguments, social beliefs, laws, rights, and people of all different backgrounds are thrown into the mix. Controversy is common as a result of all of the different angles to be considered. One controversy in particular that has…
