Imagine being a teen and finding out you’re pregnant. What is your first thought? What will I tell my parents? What will I do with the child? A pregnant teen should learn more about her options. If she knows more about the different options, she will make a better decision. Abortion can be an opportunity that she is able to choose which way to have the abortion. Adoption can be kept confidential or can be open to being able to keep in touch with the adoption family. Parenting takes a lot of time, responsibility, and is very expensive. Teen pregnancy is a controversial problem in the U.S. Options for pregnant teens are abortion, adoption, or becoming a teen parent.…
Most people would go the religious way and say that if you can’t have children, then you shouldn’t because God has a different path for you. They could even argue about the cost of IVF. In the time and money you put into the treatment you could’ve gone and adopted a child. IVF is incredibly expense and to pay for it isn’t possible for most Americans. Some insurance companies won’t cover the procedure because of the amount of loopholes in laws that let them off and hurt the public. Many parents that go through this with their children could end up with birth defects. Many scientific studies show that there are more birth defects in children who are born from IVF than normal babies. The birth defects range anywhere from cardiac defects, to cleft lip, to gastrointestinal defects, to cancer of the eye. Even though IVF can help people have children there are many risks. The mother could have the baby prematurely or a low birth weight. The mother could also end up with ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. This is when the ovaries become swollen and painful; it could lead to rapid weight gain and shortness of breath. It could also lead to a miscarriage, many birth defects, ovarian cancer, and more (Mayo Clinic Staff).…
“Biomedicine” intends to increase quality of life via new research. One of the recent biomedical research is “Human Stem Cell” from which all 210 different kinds of tissue in the human body originate(the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, 94). Additionally, UNESCO states that separating some inner cell mass from the embryo at the blastocyst stage, they can be cultured to produce pluripotent stem cells, capable of developing into blood , muscle, or many other kinds of tissues and organs of the body (13). Thus, at first “Stem Cell” may sound hopeful for human life but…
The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes, though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus, though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect against infection and injury. These structures include; the labia majora, which contains glands that produce sweat, the labia minora which surrounds the opening of the vagina and urethra, bartholin's glands which are just behind the vaginal…
Example 1: “The myth of abortion as a necessary evil has serious implications for future public debate. First, it means that abortion opponents have won the essential debate that the unborn is a human being and not mere tissue.”…
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the assisted reproduction technology techniques. It allows couples to overcome fertility problems. Male and female infertility are among the major barriers for couples that want children. Depending on the definition of infertility, the number of infertile couples worldwide may vary from 48.5 million to 72.4 million (Mascarenhas et al. 9). Among other assisted reproduction technology techniques aimed at reaching pregnancy, IVF shows the highest effectiveness rate. According to Van Voorhis, in 2003 there were more than 100,000 IVF cycles in the USA, almost half of which were successful (379). Although the IVF procedure has some disadvantages, it is a major step in overcoming some fertility problems.…
Imagine a life where the people that were once paralyzed can now walk, yes! They can know because of the embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research came from identical inner mass cells of a human embryo. Embryonic cells are able to grow into all derivatives of these primary germ layers ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. Embryonic stem cell research would be a good thing for humans because human embryos for stem cell research can help a number of patients, they can be used by scientists to find cure for several medical conditions, and the stem cell research may be a treatment for many cancers.…
Parents and guardians what would you do if you just found out that your child was just murdered…
Embryonic stem cells are stem cells that come from inner mass cells of a human embryo that are undifferentiated. They are a new and innovative way to help people of society, and with all innovative ideas comes controversy. Some people believe that embryonic stem cells should not be researched or toyed with, while others are all for it. Embryonic stem cell research is a positive thing that can enhance the world in several ways. It can boost the economy, save the lives of many people, and not offend any religions or people with religious beliefs at the same time.…
Stem cells, often called the building blocks of the human body, are positioned within the body’s blood, tissues, organs, and immune system. Once they are transplanted, they have the capability to either reconstruct or restore a patient’s damaged cells which could enhance the patient’s health; and in some cases can conclusively save a person’s life.…
Contraception is a critical issue for women of all ages and social class because the decision to have a baby impacts a woman’s physical, mental, and emotional health. Contraception is also very costly and is an expense that a woman primarily shoulders. Not every employer’s health insurance plan provides benefits for prescription contraceptives and devices. A personal survey of 50 adults with varying types of insurance plans, asked if their health insurance plans provided coverage for birth control, Viagra, or abortion. Everyone surveyed maintain that his plan provides coverage for Viagra, a sexual enhancement drug, and abortion. The same survey showed that 26% of the insurance plans do not provide benefits for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription contraceptives or devices for the solitary purpose of preventing pregnancy (personal communication, 2010). Not providing coverage for birth control, yet providing coverage for other types of prescription drugs, services, and devices, is discriminatory against women and has a negative impact on an employer’s and the government’s economics. The federal government should mandate that all health care plans provide coverage for FDA approved contraceptives because not providing them is discriminatory against women.…
Do you think birth control pills should be available to teenage girls without a prescription? Over the years teenage pregnancy has increased tremendously. As a result, causing abortions or high school dropouts. In my opinion birth control should be sold over the counter to prevent teenage pregnancy. I am in favor of the pill being given to teens because there have been many researches done that shows good benefits of teens being on the pill, but there are people who may disagree with my opinion. Parents, Doctors, and many other people all have different opinions about teens having access to the pill.…
How would it be like if you weren’t allowed to choose what happens to your future? Some women do not get the luxury of choosing for themselves due to some laws set and they do not get the option whatsoever. That should be different as women are the ones who carry the babies, not the ones who are voting against it. Even though the baby never had the chance to live life, women should have the right to choose what they want to do with their baby because it may be bad for the women herself to have to care of a baby, they may not be prepared for a baby, and we do not know their circumstances of the situation.…
Not everyone is ready to be a mother. Even at almost 30 I can honestly say I am not sure I am ready. I have a steady job and good insurance so paying for my contraceptive comes easy. Not everyone is as lucky. I couldn’t image myself being a mother and being responsible for another life at the age of 15 or even younger. There are millions of girls out there who cannot afford the cost of birth control and do not have access to it. We cannot force them to abstain from sex but what we can do is make is easier for them to get a contraceptive and hopefully reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies. Local pharmacies such as Walgreen’s, CVS and even the grocery store should provide free birth control to those who want it no questions ask. If contraceptives were more readily available the amount of unwanted and teen pregnancies would decrease. The cost and the numbers are shocking, the solution is simple.…
These days, many people tend to make choices without truly thinking things through. Which unfortunately is hurting our society big time. Many people choose to procreate, which add on to the difficulties they currently have. These are the kind of individuals that end up having children everywhere and seemingly claim to, "Have everything together." In the article, "Man who had 30 kids with 11 women wants a child-support break," Desmond Hatchett persistently engaged with several females and had up to 24 children with 11 women. It seems slightly fine if you are able to give all kids equivalent attention and provide them with their needs.…
