Life After Birth

Additionally, abortion may be necessary to terminate pregnancy when the embryo will develop into a child with sever medical problems or birth defects. Again, we must consider the quality of life of the parent, as well as the offspring. How can someone be forced to produce an unhappy burden? Not only would a developmentally delayed child be an excessive strain on the parent, but a strain on society as a whole. They will likely grow into an unproductive adult rather than a beneficial member of the community. How can a parent be legally forced to raise a child in this case? Who benefits? If the embryo is terminated prior to consciousness, then it is as if they never existed at all and no harm has been done, however, if they are forced to subsist they will become a sad,

A baby deserves to experience and witness life’s beauties. If the mother tragically loses her life during childbirth, it is well worth it.

The life of the mother is more important than the foetus if she is in

What that specific point should be, however, is certainly a gray area among most who share a similar view. The specific points in fetal development that you listed would indeed be an important consideration in deciding when exactly that point

Honestly, If you didn't want to have a child then why couldn't you have chosen to put the baby up for adoption and giving the

Derek Parfit in “Energy Policy and the Further Future” presents the dilemma of whether or not there is a moral difference between allowing thousands of children to be born with an illness and later cured, or rather never allowing these same children to be born and instead have a “different child” come out of the child bearing process with their health fully intact. In the case in which funding can only be attributed to one of these circumstances, I would support the situation in which doctors performed Preconception Testing. I feel as though this is the most morally acceptable answer because it would prevent a human life from having to endure an unnecessary handicap. Regardless of the fact that children in the first example would eventually

Out of respect for those other persons, we shouldn't kill infants. The same is not true of most abortions, because our valuing something does not outweigh the actual rights of the pregnant woman.

A recent study contends that, in many occurrences, the birth of a child brings a sense of happiness to parents, for this reason, many parents muses about getting a healthy child, realistically, there is nothing wrong with wanting to have a healthy child with all his/her organ functioning customary. Nonetheless, what should happen if a

What would be worse, killing an unborn child or making sure that the child is never biologically formed?

When such a condition is detected, or highly suspected, what then? According to Farrell et al., (2014) physicians are most concerned with the ethical issue of pregnancy termination. In the case of Down Syndrome, this is with good cause. A systemic review by Natoli, Ackerman, McDermott and Edwards (2012) found a weighted mean termination rate following a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome was 67%, with a range of 61% - 93%. The evidence they presented suggested that termination rates varied according to maternal age, race, and gestational age. (These variances alone open another ethical can of worms). But one can see, after only brief examination of this one genetic screen, why physicians, and society in general, should be concerned. There is no concensus regarding whether or not pregnancy termination is ethical in and of itself, let alone when one decides to terminate due to knowledge of specific genetic markers or

If your baby was due to die at birth, would you do everything you could to save it? Or would you leave it to four letters…one word. Fate.

The role of partners during labor as suggested by Laura is to offer and establish a safe space where an expectant mother can go through the motions of the birthing process as she chooses. Additionally, Laura explained how childbirth is something that a woman must go through alone. Despite this, a birthing partner must be able to offer emotional support and anything else an expectant mother may need during this process. Moreover, this momentous event can help to form a solid foundation for both parents. In my opinion, good parenting begins prior to birth the expectant parents in the film served as an example. For instance, they developed a stronger relationship throughout the preparation process. Their relationship was positively altered during

Exercise may not be the first thing on your bucketlist after giving birth to your child, but it’s one of the best things that you can do for yourself. Exercise will not just help you lose the extra poundage that you have acquired in the last few months of pregnancy. With a planned exercise program, you can expect an improved health and reduce the risk associated with post-partum depression. The key strategy here is planned and gradual, and failure to do so will bring more problems than health benefits. Here are some basic exercise recommendations and tips that you can take after giving birth.

Also, the article talks about how every time the child went to the hospital, the child became weaker and weaker. I believe that 16 months is more than enough time to try many different procedures and if the child became weaker and weaker each time the decision should have became more and more clear to let the child die peacefully rather than suffering.

4. Is it right that they would risk having another child inflicted with the same disease in order to possibly save their current child?
