Background Information
The controversy considering abortion and whether women have the right to ask for one seems timeless. The main argument questions whether the fetus has a soul; hence, is regarded a living human being from inside the womb or not. Therefore, the basis of the argument lies in the morality of abortion. That said; it was not until 800 BC to 200 BC, the period called the Axial Age (Jaspers, 2011), when religious texts started exploring deeper philosophical concepts, regarding the human nature and the soul. Prior that age, in the ancient world, there have been many discussions Continue reading...

Introduction

The debate on abortion refers to right and wrong aspects associated with the termination of pregnancy and ending life of foetus. The abortion should be allowed because the decision to have child or not, does not impact only foetus but mother and father both. The right to abortion should be provided because all women should have right to take decisions affecting their body, children should not have to be born into poverty, and a woman’s emotional health is a priority in the decision to abort. Advocates of abortion believe that intentional abortion should be acceptable under certain circumstances Continue reading...

Introduction

Stem cells are vital in the growth and development of organisms. These cells also function as an internal repair system, undergoing unlimited division to replace old and damaged cells in a living person or animal (Monroe, Miller, & Tobis, 2008). After dividing, a new stem cell may develop into another type of cell or remain a stem cell (Monroe et al., 2008). These cells are unspecialized and have the potential to develop into other types of specialized cells like muscle, blood, brain, and other types of tissue cells during early life and during growth (Monroe et al., 2008). Stem cell Continue reading...

There are various nutritional complications that can occur in pregnancy. Some of the major nutritional complications include pica, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes (Brown, 2015). Pregnant women experience these complications due to improper diet during pregnancy. These complications have effects on the baby during and after pregnancy. Nutrition is very important for the pregnant mothers because the embryo grows at a very fast rate. The deficiency of a nutrient can affect the development of the embryo and lead to birth defects.

1. Introduction
Like many contemporary ethical dilemmas, the question of who owns a frozen embryo arises as an unintended consequence of a technological advance. As in vitro fertilization (IVF), developed in 1987, came within the technical and financial reach of more and more couples, the number of frozen embryos stored in fertility clinics skyrocketed. According to the RAND Corporation, as of April 11, 2002, there was a total of 396,526 frozen embryos being stored in the United States. No one is entirely sure how many there are today, but some sources estimate that they number over 500,000 ( Continue reading...

Fetal circulation describes the flow of blood in the fetus. This flow of the blood is usually complicated compared to the blood flow in the normal human being. In the fetus, the placenta does the work of the lungs. After the baby is born, the lungs take over the function from the placenta. Blue blood from the fetus reaches the placenta through umbilical arteries (Woollett, 2011). The placenta performs the purification of blood and converts into oxygenated blood (red blood). Red blood flows back to the fetus through the umbilical vein. It passes through the fetal liver before it Continue reading...

Abstract.

Teenage pregnancies and abortion increased rates compared to other developed nations, remain a major public health concern in the United States. There have been initiatives by government agencies like CDC and the Department of Public Health in the reduction of pregnancy rates in women and girls between 15 to 19 years. However, information from the National Center for Health Statistics indicate that more than 600000 teenagers become pregnant every year (Secura et al., 2014). Approximately one-third of teenagers become pregnant before they reach the age of twenty. Hispanic and black teenagers are the most affected with two-fifths of the Continue reading...

Congenital heart defects are problems intrinsic to the heart that present at birth. They develop during fetal growth in utero mainly due to genetic malformations, environmental factors, and multifactorial reasons. The environment within which the fetus develops (the uterus) is a very crucial contribution to normal fetal growth and development. It is common to find disruptions within this microenvironment; the consequent effect being the disruption of normal growth and organ developments. The timing is, however, important as well. During the first trimester, organs are being crafted from primitive cells and tissues. Internal and external factors, therefore, take the opportunity Continue reading...
