Fetus

is Abortion and the moral legal rights of the fetus. Usually debates about abortion focus on politics and the law. Some believe that the law shouldn’t legislate morality, but all good law is based upon moral values. Behind the debates are more fundamental ethical questions which aren’t always given the specific attention they deserve, like debating the legal status of the fetus. Is the point of conception considered life of the fetus and does that fetus have rights? Many consider the point of conception

of rights. First off, it is a proven scientific fact that a fetus in the mother’s womb is in fact a living human being. So when you abort this living being not only are you committing murder but you are violating the Charter under legal rights section 7 which states: ‘everyone has the right to life’. By saying that, it is okay to kill a human fetus, you are saying it is not a person and therefore has no rights

According to Warren, a fetus is not considered a person. She argues that there are two senses of human: the biological sense and the moral sense. She states that a fetus is not a human in the moral sense of things. She argues that a fetus, whatever stage of its development, satisfies none of the basic criteria of personhood, and is not enough like a person to be granted even some of the same rights on the basis of this resemblance. Warren states that a fetus’s potential personhood is not a threat

Is a developing fetus a living human? Is a fetus not considered a human until the second trimester? Does poverty, rape and disability justify an abortion? Is the abortion dilemma truly black and white? Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States each year. Nearly one in four of all pregnancies end in abortion equalling 42% of all yearly deaths around the world. For pro-life supporters, they say that life begins at conception; the instant when a sperm cell

Effects of Alcohol on Fetus Teratogen Defined. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is known to have teratogenic effects. Teratogen means that a particular agent is known to cause abnormalities on a developing embryo. The teratogenic effect the alcohol will have on the embryo is highly dependent on dose and frequency of consumption. As stated in the medical journal, Alcohol Abuse In Women, “Exposure to heavy drinking (over 48–60 gr. ethanol/day) may cause fetal alcohol syndrome; exposure to moderately

Alcohol Can Do to your Fetus Psychoactive drugs can not only act on the nervous system, but it can also change your moods and modify perceptions (Santrock). Psychoactive drugs can range from consuming caffeine products to taking methamphetamine; but alcohol can be devastating on the mother’s offspring. Alcohol can cause abnormalities, disabilities, and deformities to the fetus when the mother consumes a heavy amount of alcohol. Any form of alcohol can leave a bad affect on the fetus, but it will not

There are many methods used to abort a fetus. Some are quite gruesome, while others are less intrusive. The D&C (Dilation & Curettage) is occasionally used up to the twelfth week. The cervix is dilated and a cruet is inserted into the uterus. The baby’s body is then cut into pieces and removed by suction. The uterine wall is then scraped, removing the placenta to empty the entire uterus. A D&E (Dilation & Evacuation) can be performed up to eighteen weeks. The uterus is entered with a forceps which

I believe that it is not right to abort a fetus. I believe that abortion is a sin. However, God gives each and every one of us freedom, who am I to judge if someone decide to exercise their freedom. For example someone who has been raped and become pregnant, I cannot judge that person if she decides to abort the fetus. Personally, I may be able to love that child unconditionally, but on the other hand that child may serve as a reminder of that particular traumatized experience which may be an unhealthy

I have chosen the topic of burial of the fetus because I believe that even though the fetus was never a “whole person” I still think it deserves proper burial or have the fetuses’ tissues be used for something good like organ donation or research for finding cures. There have been several videos and breaking news about people selling fetal tissues after an abortion although, some allegations may not be true Texas decided to take action before anything like that happened in the state. As of 2017,

The article I found most interesting was, Prescribing in pregnancy: Effects on the fetus. This article focused on Teratogens, specifically medications, and how they can impact an unborn fetus. The article made it clear that completely avoiding medications during pregnancy is not always possible. When medications must be consumed, it is important for the consumer to understand the possible risks for the fetus. When referring to Teratogens, and medications specifically, timing is everything. Typically
