Fetus

even if a fetus is a person, abortion is still permissible when one’s risk in health/stability/happiness is threatened. I believe that any woman, who houses the fetus inside her body for estimated nine months have the right and the choice to abortion when it is for one’s health, stability and happiness for both the mother and the unborn fetus. Thomson’s argument is entitled as “Defense to Abortion“. I agree to Thomson and her argument when it comes to aborting a fetus, even if a fetus is a person

mindset that either the fetus is not a human or the baby’s life does not matter (Every Child a Wanted Child). The rates are ever increasing as more women go to abortion clinics to erase the unwanted. Many lives could be saved if women recognized fetuses as human beings. Using four simple proofs, one can clearly determine the fetus inside the woman’s womb holds the title of a human being, and therefore, entitled to human rights making abortion an unacceptable murder.

Wade decision that a fetus does not qualify as a person or human being under criminal homicide statues, Legislatures began to pass feticide statutes (When is Death of a Fetus a Homicide, 2007). California Legislature passed a statute with no viability requirement and no requirement the offender know of the existence of the fetus. In California, it can be a capital offense to cause the death of a nonviable fetus even if the offender knew of the existence. (When is Death of a Fetus a Homicide, 2007)

The first premise states that a fetus is an early stage in becoming a human. It all starts with conception. When the sperm meets the egg, the combination is called a zygote. The zygote contains all of the genetic information (DNA) needed to become a baby. Half the DNA comes from the mother's egg and half from the father's sperm. The zygote then travels down the fallopian tube, in which, it forms a ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst is composed of an inner group of cells with an outer

that in the first trimesters, the fetus cannot be considered as morally equivalent to a newborn baby. Therefore, at the first trimesters, the fetus has no conscience so it cannot think, or feel pain and neither is it capable of perceiving as the newborn babies do.

The main argument by Steinbock (1999) is that the fetus is relatively non-sentient while

Meth Usage and Fetus Brain Development A common teratogen that causes problems in pregnancy is the use of methamphetamine, a stimulant that affects a person’s central nervous system, by the potential father or mother.

Rights of a Fetus Essay Every life is valuable, whether the life is growing inside of the womb or outside of the womb. There are many controversies regarding the subject of the rights of a fetus. Some believe that because the fetus it not yet in this world and has not yet taken its first breath, it has no rights. Others believe that right at conception, the fetus has human rights.
