The Pros And Cons Of Abort Babies

Life is a precious thing, whether inside or outside of the body. It is not something to be toyed with or taken granted of. A baby, no matter what form they're in, is precious and important. And no matter what mistakes were made by the parents, that baby should have the right to live. It's not a choice; it's a

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,

If medical tests have proven that the child will be born with severe handicaps that would greatly reduce the quality of life or endanger the fetus, the opportunity to terminate should be available. Allowing abortion because of fetal disability may actually benefit the child in the long run, by saving it from a life full of unnecessary complications. This, however, is a very controversial reason and is not generally accepted by many people due to moral reasons.

Sterilization of the developmentally disabled or the mentally retarded is an issue that has long been debated in America. Mental retardation is defined as the inability to learn normally and develop mentally. Traditionally in America if a mentally retarded person was born to a family, that family had 2 choices- take care of the child at home, or it was strongly recommended that the child was sent to a state run institution or hospital. The state institution was where this person would spend his or her entire life. Unfortunately these hospitals were often huge warehouses of people with disabilities, or mental illnesses. These hospitals offered no contact with the

A serious defect in an embryo gives additional reasons for its termination. For example, Down syndrome is a severe congenital disorder that "is a major cause of mental retardation, worldwide." (Cozic 138) Fortunately, fetal testing (with abortion) can prevent it. If the couple with a defective embryo is

Abortion is a horrible thing, weather the baby is going to have problems or not, it shouldn't be aloud. Every child should get a chance to live, Just because it may have Down syndrome or autism etc doesn't mean that it shouldn't get a go at life. Iceland is about to become the first country where no one with Down syndrome are born as 85% of their women are terminating the pregnancy. The CBS news website quoted that “Iceland has two people with Down syndrome born each year.” This

Throughout my research on individuals with Spina Bifida, I highlighted the effects of Spina Bifida on a person. My research showed me that when someone has Spina Bifida, they can live a normal life just like anyone else, with a few adaptations to their daily life. Other research showed me that life with Spina Bifida can be dramatically different than someone without this disease. I used evidence from the Mayo Clinic, My Child Without Limits, and other Children’s Hospital’s doctors. I am also defending the side of the argument that believes women should not abort their babies if they have Spina Bifida. I think that women should not be allowed to abort their children because they have a disability. As a result of the research I will elaborate

The case of Deb and Derek is a perfect example to support my view towards abortion. The couple who has been married for two years have realized that Deb is 16 weeks pregnant with a child who has down’s. Down syndrome is genetic disorder in which a person has 47 chromosomes instead of 46 which results in birth defects including mental retardation and delayed physical, social and mental development (Smolkin, Bourgeois & Findler, 2010, p. 165).

There are many pros and cons of abortion! Abortion should not be considered as murder in the early

Have you ever wondered why abortion is such a debated topic. How some politicians use it as a political ploy and others are completely against abortion? Also, if the supreme court says abortion is legal, why have many states added so many restrictions and rules to it. If abortion is legal, why does the government try so hard to make women feel like it isn’t. When did it become ok for the government tell women what and what not to do with our bodies and made our decisions for us? These new abortion restrictions makes it even harder for women to have an abortions, then it already is.

In the bible it indicates that unborn children are worthy of the same protection and rights as an adult. In Jerimiah 1:5 it says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before I consecrated you, I have anointed you a prophet to the nations.” This meaning that God already knows the unborn child. That God made that baby in his image and is a gift. The prenatal test finds out about the child having a disability when the fetus is 9 to 10 weeks into the pregnancy. At this stage it is the size of a strawberry and the baby has eyes, eyelids, body parts starting to develop, and the baby is starting to make movements in the body. Having a baby is a miracle in itself and should be cherished and not aborted because of a disability. If Susan is a Christian, then she knows that abortion is murder. Her morals come out in this dilemma because she feels very uncomfortable with the idea of abortion. This could mean that if she aborted the baby she will feel guilty. “guilt warns people to avoid things that violate the moral code that they have been taught” (Uhley ) It is society telling her and pressuring her to do differently. In the article Congenital Defect do not Justify Abortion it says, “studies reveal that 90% when pregnant women learn they are carrying a Down Syndrome baby they abort the pregnancy. Due to feeling pressure from both doctors and insurance companies” (Colson). Christians believe that you should love everyone because God created everyone in his own image and this should never be

Living in a world set up and built for able bodied people, it’s difficult for a disabled person to be brought up and adapt to carry out even the most simplest of everyday tasks. Aborting a disabled foetus may not intentionally be biologically discriminating, but instead, weighing up the consequences of continuing with the pregnancy until the stage of giving birth, taking into account what life will be like for the foetus in the future.

There is discrimination towards disabled people (e.g Down Syndrome) who still live normal and fulfilled lives, with some hardships. They feel unworthy and isolated. Disabled people perceive this as social discrimination against them. Others who have a genetic mutation identified could affect their job prospects, insurance, or marriage in the future. Increased antenatal screening could potentially lead to loss of respect for the disabled and their families as it promotes a culture of perfection. There will be a negative value on people with certain conditions or qualities when it is seen as ‘socially desirable’ to prevent further development of certain foetuses. Although it will result in fewer genetic disabilities and more people will be able to live ‘normal’ lives in the future.

What is the issue at hand? Should we be allowed to change the naturality of creating a child naturally. Once the legal aspects are taken care of and squared off. We need to sit down and really need to think about what are the benefits of this procedure and how we can minimize any reactions, side effects, just any harm to the baby. However, the issues are that people feel that if they can remove the gene that can cause your child to be born with down syndrome or becoming a little person/ midget. They would do it because growing up is hard enough, so

Physicians: Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, University of Melbourne, C. Cameron and R. Williamson, believe that PGD is ethical as the embryos aren’t developed and it hasn’t been transmitted into mother’s womb, therefore, the mother is not attached to the child. They feel different to Kilner, as they think couples shouldn’t be discriminated against because they choose to terminate a disabled child just like disabled children shouldn’t be discriminated against.14
