existing standard screening methods in detecting Down syndrome, which is the most prevalent genetic disorder in United States. Beside the accuracy, the cffDNA test is noninvasive, it yields results early in pregnancy, and it is safe to the mother and fetus. Furthermore, when used as a primary screening method, it has proven to significantly reduce reliance on more invasive diagnostic procedures. Therefore, the cell-free fetal DNA testing should become the main screening option in obstetrics in order

abortion would the Catholic Church ever allow this? It is stated by The Holy Office that a craniotomy to remove the viable fetus is never okay even in situations where “if it is omitted, the mother and infant will die, but, if it is performed, the mother will be saved but the infant will die” (Jones, 82). The Holy Office has also stated that to remove the fetus or deliver the fetus before viability is never allowed (Jones, 82). Pope Paul VI stated that the teaching of this “has not changed and is unchangeable”

Prenatal development is a very fragile phase of fetal development that can be affect by environmental factors and maternal factors. Prenatal development is the process in which a human fetus develops during pregnancy. The development of a new life is an exciting time for most people and this essay will discuss the process in which that new life is created. It will also discuss the things that could be harmful to the development of that new life during its prenatal development term such as environmental

the semi-cellular level that result in visible advances in the embryo’s development as it matures into a fetus and eventually is born. However, these biological processes are not flawless; in some cases, infections, risk factors present in the environment outside of the uterus, or genetic diseases can pose harm by altering how developmental processes proceed or even result in lethality to the fetus. Genetic diseases and illnesses of high concern will thus be discussed in greater detail, as will proposals

adult is killed, they lose their future and everything that is apart of it. After years of conscious living, they would lose their relationships, ability to participate in hobbies, and experience the life they have built for themself. Although a fetus loses its future when it is killed as well, it is not losing a conscious experience it has created outside of the womb independently. The opinion that taking away the life an adult human is currently experiencing is equal to taking away the life an

substance capable of interfering with the development of a fetus, causing birth defects”. Teratogens are also substances that are found in the environment which are known to cause defects in fetal development. Teratogens are one of the leading causes of death to newborns in the nation. “There are four major factors that depend on the extent of fetal defects and those are the dosage, genetic makeup of the mother and the developing fetus, fetal age, an other negative influences on pregnancy” (Berk

abortion for some cases: cases of rape, when the fetus endangers the life of the mother, and consensual sex (48, 50, 59, 66). She takes a stance that “a fetus is a person” for her argument, to strengthen it, in favor of allowing the certain cases above to grant an abortion with just cause (Thomson 48). Whether, or not, a fetus is a person is not what she is trying to establish; instead it is a moral argument analyzing the right to life of the fetus in these three types of situations. The violinist

itself is a continuing entity (p. 44). Furthermore, he argues that there are certain requirements to meet this claim. To say one only has a right to life if it possesses a concept of self as a continuing subject is a bold statement. If claiming a fetus does not have a right to life because they do not possess a concept of self, then what about an human who is suffering from a disease that makes them

He said that pregnant ladies or their specialists could state an individual requirement for a wellbeing exemption by going to court to challenge the law as it connected to them, which implies who was ever included in a fetus removal act climate it's a specialist, the casualty, or even the driver you were

Increases in heart rate occur usually by about 15% to 25% above baseline by the fourth or fifth week. Stroke volume increases correlate to increases in estrogen by 25% to 30% in the third trimester. Cardiac output must increase to meet the demands of the fetus especially uterine circulation. This is mainly because there is a larger amount of blood flowing to the uterus, kidneys, and extremities. Initially uterine blood flow is 50ml/min, with pregnancy, it increases to 700 to 900ml/min (Chestnut, et al.,
