The Effects Of Swedish Soil On The World

Nowadays, there are many possibilities.  New advances in science may cover almost any complication in pregnancy, without having to choose to kill the mother or the baby.

pregnancy is taken out of the uterus of the women by medical abortion which involves taking

The first child to ever be from using test tube techniques happened in the late 1970’s. Although many have applauded this new type of technology, there is an ethical issue on whether or not embryos should be created in test-tube knowing that fact that many are not implanted and have human development. “Octo-Mom” is a classic case that may have changed many people’s perception when it comes to in-vitro fertilization. Many felt that it was ethically wrong for her doctor to conduct that type of procedure to a woman who will not have the ability to provide adequate care for the well-being of her children who may have health issues.

It is easy to see that the medical abilities and tools we had 50 years ago are nothing in comparison to what we have today. Among these advances has been the extent to which we can prevent illness and disability. Fetal surgery first emerged in the 1980’s by Dr Michael Harrison aka “the father of fetal surgery,” when he decided to look into ways doctors could fix certain defects before birth to avoid their inevitable, devastating consequences. It has since expanded its practice to a number of hospitals across the country, although it is still an uncommon procedure. It involves opening up the mother 's uterus (just as a doctor would during a caesarean section) so that the fetus is exposed as much as needed to be operated on. The fetus is then put back and the uterus is closed until it is time for the mother to go into labor. The fetus is never detached from the mother and is essentially being operated on while inside the womb (Smajdor). While it may seem like a positive life changing procedure, there are many perspectives out there that support

The 21st century however forecasts an astonishing increase in innovation in another direction. While previously overshadowed by its larger cousins, physics and chemistry, it seems likely that the biological sciences will steal the limelight in the future. Mapping the genome, reversing the aging process, and finding a cure for terminal illnesses, all represent primary objectives for science. Unfortunately, the ethical questions posed by innovations in biomedicine are far greater than those posed by advances in the physical sciences. Reproductive cloning is one of these innovations, and one that arguably poses the greatest threat to the world as we know it. The universal truth, blindly accepted by man for millennia, held that a human could only be born through the sexual union of a male and a female, to be exact, of an egg and a sperm. By cloning, however, a human life can be created in the laboratory. This is done by taking human DNA and inserting it into an egg cell, sans genetic material. The resultant cell is identical to the original, and can then be inserted into a uterus, either a human or an animal one, and be grown to term, to produce a baby, while circumventing nature’s means of reproduction.

First, the number of embryos placed in a woman’s uterus during any one treatment cycle can be limited, with the other embryos preserved for later use, thereby reducing the risk of a multiple pregnancy. Second, embryos preserved from an initial attempt at IVF and replaced later if necessary can help to avoid repeated surgery to secure more eggs. Third, cryopreservation could enhance efforts to detect the presence of infectious diseases and genetic anomalies by providing ample time for proper screening and analysis. This advantage not only has implications for the health of any progeny, but it could also reduce the incidence and associated risks of abortions if abnormalities are discovered at a later point in the pregnancy. Fourth, by preserving embryos that would otherwise be discarded and allowing them to be brought to term at a later date, freezing can lead to offspring who would not otherwise have been born. And fifth, when combined with analysis, freezing will increase the possibility that normal embryos will be frozen for future use in implatation as well as research (Woods, 1988).

Across America, doctors in the field of abortion perform perfectly legal and constitutionally protected procedures everyday that result in the removal of unwanted fertilized embryos from a woman. For years these fetuses were terminated and discarded in a safe manner, with no further study or research done on the unborn child. Now, scientists have begun harvesting key cells from the fetuses before they are

A hysterectomy is a medical procedure to remove part or all of the womb. It is an operation to treat a number of female uterine problems that did not respond to other medical treatments. The main non-cancerous issues treated with a hysterectomy are uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, constant pelvic pain, cervical dysplasia, and uterine prolapse. After a physical examination and diagnosis of your individual symptoms and overall medical history, your Glendora General Surgeon will discuss your surgical options and make a recommendation for the best procedure for you.

Imagine being told you will never be able to have a child. For many women this is the case. Nearly 4500 newborn girls are born with ovaries, but no uterus. This can be very detrimental news for any women with hopes of eventually having a family. Eventually, women with this syndrome, will never have to hear that they are incapable of having a child of their own. Doctors from the Cleveland Clinic hospital in Weston, Florida are working to be the first in the United States to successfully transplant a uterus from a donor to a live women. The transplanted uterus will be taken from organ donors, as the surgery is too vigorous for a live person, though it has been done in Sweden. The uterus of a donor can survive up to eight hours outside of the body if it is kept cold. The eligible recipients of the transplant are women who are born without a uterus, had it removed or have uterine damage.

The female reproductive system is remarkable in its ability for women to function and live relatively normal lives after surgical procedures. If a gynecologist has determined that the condition is life threatening or is not in the best interest of the patient, then surgical removal of a reproductive organ may be an appropriate course of treatment. A total hysterectomy is the complete removal of both, the uterus and the cervix. The uterus is a muscular organ that houses the fetus during pregnancy. The cervix is the opening to the uterus, and connects to the vagina. After a hysterectomy the menses or menstruation will cease and the woman will no longer be able to have children. A salpingectomy is the removal of the fallopian uterine tube or tubes.

A uterus transplant surgery has recently been developed to help women give birth. Women who qualify for this procedure are women who are infertile because they have been born without a uterus or have been born with a uterus that does not function. To have the procedure done, women must between the ages of 21 and 39, have extensive evaluations completed by various doctors which include phycologists, surgeons, and social workers, and the women must have a uterus donor between the ages of 18-40. To begin, surgeons remove the woman’s eggs from her ovaries and fertilize them with sperm to freeze them to implant the embryos following surgery. Right before surgery women will take anti-rejection medication to ensure the body does not reject the organ.

tubes. Using this, attempts to fertilize the egg outside her body. In vitro fertilization can help women with hopelessly blocked fallopian

Surrogate Motherhood is something that not many people actually support, even though it “is one of the many reproductive techniques that have enabled infertile couples to have children” (qtd. in Freedman). There are two types of surrogacy, traditional and gestational. The traditional type of surrogacy involves the surrogate mother being (AI) artificially inseminated with the sperm of the intended father or sperm from a donor when the sperm count is low. In either case the surrogate’s own egg will be used. Genetically the surrogate becomes the mother of the resulting child (Storey). Although there are two different types of surrogacy, a traditional surrogacy is rarely seen or done anymore. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate mother has

The most probable method of abortion is called dilation and curettage. General anaesthetic is provided to the pregnant mother while the gynaecologist opens (dilates) the cervix with instruments called dilators, and then inserts a hollow tube through the cervix. Suction is applied to remove the retained tissue in the uterus. If the abortion is to be carried out on the 20th-24th week, 2 general anaesthetics with 2 nights will be supplied.

For women who don’t want to have babies anymore or if the never want to have a baby there’s a sterilization option. You can undergo either tubal ligation which is a surgical procedure that blocks the fallopian tubes from carrying eggs to the uterus or tubal implants which is a nonsurgical technique in which a small coil
