Page 1 Child Growth and Development: "Life's Greatest Miracle" Paragraph In the video Life's Greatest Miracle, I was informed about how children are conceived, how they develop in the mothers body, and how amazing child birth can be. In the beginning it takes you through the steps of how sperm travels as for looking for an egg to fertilize. Although, in just one teaspoon of sperm there can be over 300 million sperm cells, only around 40% of them are usable. The other 60% can be deformed such as having two tales. The sperm can reach the Fallopian tube within 30 minutes, but it can be a 2 day swim just for sperm to reach an accepting egg. After the sperm that was strong enough to make it through the rough travel have met up with an egg, they …show more content…
This is what potentially creates the baby. After 3 weeks of being fertilized, the embryo is less than 1/10 of an inch. The heart of the baby is now beating. At 4 weeks it is about 1/5 of an inch long. It now has a tale that is its back bone that will disappear in a few weeks. Genes are being turned on and cells are able to talk through chemical messages. 18 weeks after being fertilized, the baby is able to be viewed through an ultra sound and in some cases, able to determine the sex of the baby. The embryo is enabled with two sets of gonads and two sets of tubes which is what can make the baby either a male or female. One pair of chromosomes determines which sex that baby will be. After 29 weeks, it is now a fetus and just over an inch long. The fetus heart beats about twice as many times as an adult heart. There is a 50% increase in blood supply for the mother. Now the mother is ready to give birth. Human births are actually more dangerous than any other mammal. The baby preforms many contortions to fit through the mother's opening and if not able to be born through vaginal birth, the mother will undergo a "C" section. After nine months of carrying another human being inside her stomach and going through labor and painful child birth, the mother is blessed with a beautiful child.

Alexandra Tsiaras came up with a phenomenal way of describing conception to birth in his interview he did for Ted Talk. There were several things and little details that I truthfully did not know happened so fast during a woman’s pregnancy. It amazes me how people can go through with abortion after watching a video like Conception to Birth. Alexandra Tsiara’s visuals on conception to birth show a whole new outline of how fast a baby becomes a human, and that makes it that much more precious.
Love is a profound topic that is not only hard to describe but also hard to hold onto; and this idea was excellently developed in “The Age of Miracles”.This novel shows a variety of themes, but one of the vital themes discussed is the idea of how love changes over time. I believe the point of this book was to show how love can either grow or fade when challenges arise. This theme is symbolized by the polar opposites that develop in the book of Julia’s parents marriage falling apart compared to Julia’s own love flourishing in the brink of disaster.
The inveterate process of pregnancy is at high risk of disappearing with the onset of these technologies. The natural method of contraception would eventually die out in favor of in-vitro fertilization as humans strive to be better, stronger, and able to achieve greater heights. With the convenient option of hand-picking all the favorable characteristics of a child, it would become ever-increasingly more difficult to hang on to the natural method. This would be more difficult by ten-fold if (when) technology for in-vitro fertilization continues to ameliorate to a point where the installation of baby into womb is no longer necessary, and women no longer must carry the burden of pregnancy for nine months, or for that matter, any time at all.
The final birth at the end of the video clip was memorable for me because it was reminiscent of the birth of my two daughters. It was an emotional clip to watch and what made it so fascinating was the fact that the whole process was tracked with vivid visuals from the gametes to the blastocyst to the zygote to the fetus to finally the new born baby. I was amazed at the images of the millions of sperm that was produced and the various obstacles they had to go through just to get to the ovum. The first obstacle was in the sheer number of them competing to reach first, that also not guaranteeing any success. The obstructive
The human birth beyond question is something marvelous. There are two ways during which the baby will get this world: standard delivery and c-section delivery.
During life certain emotions are expressed and the importance of them can determine whether life is short so, you must be thankful for everything you have and thank God, for every breath you take. I believe my faith has helped me grow into the person xI am today. As long as I have family, God and self-respect I believe I will have a great life.
original human. It is then placed inside a female capable of bearing a child and is then born
Did you know that our bodies want to make babies? Did you also know that our bodies are actually really good at it?, the answer is that yes our bodies want to make babies and yes we are good at it, we are so good at it that about 365,000 new babies are produced everyday, thats a lot isn’t it!, however creating a new human being is not easy, it is actually a process that takes time.Think about it you have to build a brand new body with one hundred trillion cells, thats a lot!.But how do you do this?
The human body works in wondrous ways and the things it is capable of are what keeps the human species alive. The reproduction is one of the most important systems of the body. As time continues technology advances and new techniques and procedures are discovered. One of the most one recent discoveries is the idea of male pregnancy. Scientists thought of this because women were able to have babies although the baby had formed somewhere else besides the uterus; men develop these same organs so why can a male not have a baby? Scientist continued their research on animal to collect the best results. There have been successful cases of male pregnancy, but it has raised a vast amount of both disapproval and approval.
On Swedish soil, in September of 2014, a miracle happened. The world witnessed the first ever baby to be born from a woman’s transplanted womb. A healthy baby boy, to be exact. Scientists have marveled over this new advancement simply because of the fact that they have been trying to do just this for years without success. Trial after trial has been made over the years, but the professors and scientists of the University of Gothenburg (where the baby was born) weren’t giving up. And good thing they didn’t, because their work has certainly paid off. This is a huge landmark for medical science all over the world, as there is now a way for women who have uterus problems (for one reason or another) to have children.
In our opinion, it’s not enough to divulge that the sperm swim towards the egg. It’s apposite to inform how that happens. And it’s important to communicate that it should be a voluntary and positive experience for both parties. That’s why we
All through life, we experience various occasions when decision-making become necessary. A number of them present themselves in difficult forms and at crucial points. Most of the verdict we take will eventually figure and describe our track of lives. These are what we refer to as lessons of life. Choices never present themselves in an easy way. In some instance we are always forced to pay a price to achieve something. This implies that we are trading for an outcome we are seeking.
When one thinks of pregnancy, the initial thought usually follows a process like this: a man and a woman have sexual intercourse, leading to the man’s sperm fertilizing the woman’s egg. The successful union of a sperm and egg cell is the first cell that eventually develops into a baby. After nine months of pregnancy, the woman hopefully gives birth to a healthy child. Developments in biological technology has led to a new, modern kind of conception: in vitro fertilization.
There are certain moments in a person’s life that will define who they become; succeeding in a difficult class, finding the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, holding their child for the first time. These dream like moments often change people for the better, but what happens when these life changing events go from the perfect dream to the most horrific nightmare? When people are cheated, hurt, and made to feel as though they are worthless, does it change them for the worse? Khaled Hosseini depicts how, despite varying circumstances, strong willed people can overcome traumatic experiences and continue to be kind, loving people in The Kite Runner.
Ectogenesis appears to be a work of fiction and fantasy. The testing of ectogenesis, or embryos developing into babies outside of a human by an apparatus, could eventually turn into a universal reality. Any difficulties that may arise in natural childbirth could use an artificial womb to save mothers from the stress of being pregnant as well as protecting the child from any harm. Nonetheless, ectogenesis is a process that could lead to overpopulation and taking away the human bonding and involvement with carrying a child. Consequently, the government should regulate this technology and limit it only to those in which pregnancy is either life threatening or impossible.
