Gestation

treats livestock. Especially, the treatment of sows in farrowing crates, or gestation crates. A gestation crate is a container made of metal that keeps a sow confined during her pregnancy and parturition (Tonsor et al., 2009). Estienne and Harper (2014) reported the crates are mandated to be 0.61 meters by 2.13 meters and are hailed by producers for their storage advantages. They allow for more sows to be placed in one gestation barn, for easier rationing of feed, and for them to have a higher pregnancy

This longer time period for humans essentially gives us about a 21- month gestation period. This pattern has been named the secondary altriciality. It is a fact that the human brain is about 3 times bigger than the apes brain. There is fossil evidence that could possibly show the expanding brain size and give insight on social organization

Late-term abortions are often times the most controversial, because the baby can survive outside the womb. James Elgin Gill was born on May 20, 1987, and he became the earliest baby to ever survive at twenty-one weeks and five days gestation. While most people define viability around twenty-five to twenty-six weeks, one little girl also defied the odds and survived despite her early arrival. Emily Kay Browning was born at twenty-four weeks and she is now four years old. Around 1.3 percent

John Noonan, argues against the morality of abortion at any time during a pregnancy. According to Noonan (2012) humanity begins at the moment of conception. Therefore, the unborn child has the inherent right to live, and abortion at any stage of gestation would be the equivalent of murder (p. 472). He makes no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. The only exception he makes is when continuing a pregnancy puts the mother’s life at risk. His arguments are strong against abortion

This study detected the effects of maternal carbamazepine (CBZ) on the fetal neuroendocrine-cytokines axis. 25 or 50 mg/kg of CBZ was intraperitoneally administrated from gestation day (GD) 1 to 20. Compared to control, these treatments elicited a pronounced hypothyroidism at GD 20 with a decrease in the maternofetal thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) levels, and an increase in the maternofetal thyrotropin (TSH) level. This resulted in a significant reduction in the fetal serum growth hormone

rates of preterm births - those that occur when a woman is between 22 and 37 weeks pregnant, rather than the full term of 37 - 41 weeks.” When a fetus has experienced a gestation period of 37 weeks, it’s organ systems are defined mature and are able to support and sustain life. When a fetus experiences a shortened period of gestation, their organ systems are underdeveloped. They do not have fully formed lungs, their nervous system and brain connection are not established and their senses are still

the birthday of January 1 on the year of birth (Jockey Club). Producers are looking to maximize production of pregnancy and look to have mares foal at or after January 1 to give their colts an age advantage while racing. Because of the 11 month gestations of the mare, this means she must be bred between February and March to achieve a foaling date on or after January 1. During the low day-light levels in the February and March, melatonin secretions from the pituitary are increased, which will inhibit

Over the past few decades, relations between animals and humans have been modified drastically. From domesticated species’ to wildlife, it seems as though human interaction has taken a dramatic toll on the way animals’ function in the 21st century. Particularly, an account that focuses on this dramatic toll is that of Charles Siebert’s, an essayist whose observations bring a fascinating perspective to the correlation between wildlife habitat disruption and uninhibited human nature. Siebert’s essay

Abortion Fact #1: Every abortion kills an innocent human being. Every new life begins at conception. This is an irrefutable fact of biology. It is true for animals and true for humans. When considered alongside the law of biogenesis – that every species reproduces after its own kind – we can draw only one conclusion in regard to abortion: every single abortion ends the life of an innocent human being. Fact #2: Every human being is a person. Personhood is properly defined

Have you ever considered legalizing abortion in the country? Do you think it’s a good idea to take an innocent life? Do you think it’s right to take away privileges from an innocent child? Absolutely not! I strongly believe that legalizing abortion will allow individuals to avoid handling responsibilities, and take away innocent lives for no apparent reason. In this argumentative essay, I would be arguing against legalizing abortion in the country. The negative consequences and impacts from abortion
