Over the years women have been seen as a man’s property. A man has always known that his perceived natural rights entail a wife, her body, children, and a job. Essentially a twisted form of the American Dream right, but what if the clock is sped up to when women start gaining the confidence to fight for their rights? History has witnessed women gaining the right to vote, the ability to work alongside men, and to have their own house without a husband. For the next century women slowly gained…
side front bumper of the bus. Nevertheless, we did not compete that day. Everyone on the bus had to be checked out by the school’s doctor, Dr. Norris before being released. During my examination, Dr. Norris checked my eyes by shining a pen light to test my pupil’s reaction to the light and their response time, checked my head for bruising or bleeding, neck for rotation issues, arms, legs and feet for mobility, flexibility, contusion and scrapes. As he is performing the examination he asked me…
menopause. In case you wish to plan further pregnancy, then you should thoroughly discuss about any other alternative less invasive forms of treatment that could be beneficial for you. Women with strong family history of ovarian cancer or breast cancer can choose to have both ovaries removed after consultation with the oncologist in order to reduce their risk of cancer. Depending on the reason for your hysterectomy, you still may need pelvic exams and pap smear tests. Thus, hysterectomy is a…
I was so upset at him because he hadn’t even asked what I had wanted to do. I stayed home from school due a cold, and had a talk with my mom. I told her, “Mom, I think I’m pregnant”. She left the house, but came home half an hour later with a pregnancy test. I used it and sure enough I was pregnant. She then told my father and he had a talk with me about my options, I could keep the baby, which none of us thought I could do, or I could get an abortion. I chose the latter. I told my boyfriend…
In this day and age, it is possible to prevent deadly diseases that a person is predisposed to before they are even born. This process is called preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a screening test used to determine if genetic or chromosomal abnormalities are present in an embryo created through in-vitro fertilization. In-vitro fertilization literally means fertilization “in glass,” but in actuality, simply occurs in laboratory receptacles. This…
1:5 states that, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” This verse and others buttress the point that human life starts right away, therefore termination of pregnancy at any point of gestation is murder. God’s plan for humans might be different from ours. God is in control and have plans for each one of us before our lives even begins. He created human in his own image and likeness. He has a purpose for…

Some children have a cleft lip or cleft palate because of changes in their genes. Cleft lip and cleft palate are thought to be caused by a combination of genes and other factors, such as things the mother comes in contact with in her environment, or what the mother eats or drinks, or certain medications she uses during pregnancy. This paper will focus on the disease process…
think that we all certainly have. From the time that were little kids till the time where we reach old age and become more and more dependent on other people. For women this always lingers in their head when they are to make the decision about pregnancy. More like the option of whether to get an abortion. Personally I am biased about the topic, so just for this time I will choose a side. Abortions are done for hundreds of reasons. Some of them being: rape, mental abnormalities, and the fear…

Abortion has been an intricate topic for many years. Abortion is a medical procedure which terminates a pregnancy. The ongoing argument is whether or not women should be entitled to have abortions. There are two different movements that have started due to abortion. These two movements are the abortion-rights movement, and the pro-life (anti-abortion) movement. The purpose for each movement is self-explanatory, being that they are either for or against abortion, for their own personal reasons…
