Essays on Pregnancy

In 2003, scientists completed the mapping of the entire human genome. Understanding a human’s genetic makeup allows for all sorts of possibilities, like the cure for diseases. The first use of IVF treatment in 1978, allowed for the prescreening for certain diseases. For example, nowadays the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) allows for the detection of cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, and hemophilia A. This is only the beginning; soon enough parents will be able to pick specific traits that they want passed down. One method of doing this is called germline gene therapy.

Introduction

Since the Supreme Court declared that abortion is a fundamental human right, this issue has continued to generate a debate for over 3 decades. The proponents have until now Identified themselves as pro choice. They contend that abortion is a privilege that should not be limited by either the government or religious groups. On the other hand, opponents claim that life begins right at conception and therefore abortion by any standard is killing of innocent human being (Carrick, 2001).

Chronic bronchitis is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is characterized by excessive bronchial mucus secretion and a productive cough that usually lasts three months or longer in two consecutive years. Abnormalities associated with chronic bronchitis are thickened bronchial walls, mucosal inflammation in the walls and airways, and hypertrophied and hyperplastic mucus glands (Arcangelo & Peterson, 2013). The recommended drug treatment for controlling chronic bronchitis is divided into three lines (Arcangelo & Peterson, 2013). First, aminopenicilins, such as ampicillin and amoxicillin, are usually sufficient for simple chronic bronchitis cases. Second, in complicated chronic bronchitis, second-generation or third-generation cephalosporin, ...

Becker, Davida, & Olvarietta, Claudia. “Decriminalization of Abortion in Mexico City: The Effects on Women’s Reproductive Rights.” American Journal of Public Health, 103.4, 2013 1202-1204.

Most people take abortion as an illegal act which should not be prohibited at all. However, there are some indications that in order to safeguard the rights of women and give them a chance to control their reproductive health, there is the need to decriminalize this act. This has been adopted by Mexico City, with the argument that this legislation “is an first step in improving reproductive rights, but unsafe abortions will only be ...

The question on the social system of humans depends on several factors. These factors include: religion, evolution, necessity and environment. Different religions have different views on how humans are supposed to associate with one another, for instance Christianity advocates for monogamous relationships while Islamic religion encourages polygamous relations. This means that those prescribe to a given religious view tend to behavior to the prescribed social behavior, it therefore cannot be said with certainty at this point that humans are monogamous or polygamous.

The social behavior of humans cannot be compared to that of other species since humans have a power of ...

Abstract

In this essay, the four main points in which Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection is based on are presented and explained: variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth and differential of survival and reproduction.

After this, and regarding the colleague’s previous answer about the topic, a relation is established between the factors that the colleague stated, being that a population’s distribution, density and abundance are intimately related to the four main points discussed earlier, of variation, inheritance, high rate of population growth and differential of survival and reproduction, helping one another to be able to happen ...

Opportunistic pathogen

A pathogen is a microorganism that can cause a disease or has the ability to cause a disease. An opportunistic pathogen is not different from any other kind of pathogen. The only difference is that, an opportunistic pathogen can cause a disease in a person who has a lower immunity or an impaired immune system, but not in someone who is healthy. In other words, an opportunistic pathogen, which can otherwise not harm a person, finds an opportunity to establish himself in the affected person’s body and cause some kind of disease (Pirofski, 2012).

Introduction

Teenage pregnancy in modern societies is being viewed as a dysfunctional. Historically, across cultures it was discovered to be functional since teenage couples were encouraged to begin raising a family very early. With contemporary educational trends this value of childbirth at a very early age has been replaced by getting into college, having a degree and then thinking about childbirth in one’s late twenties; thirties or even forties. This research project hopes to explore how appropriate this perception of when pregnancy should occur and the ...

There may be complicated feelings about life satisfaction, which can lead to new discoveries or depression. The female may attempt sexual exploration as her ...

Exercise 1: Investigation of the Testes and Ovary

- Why are the testes located outside of the body in the scrotum? The testes work best at temperature lower than the body temperatures. Therefore, process of spermatogenesis takes place optimally at temperatures slightly less than that of the body and hence the testes are located outside in the scrotum. - What process occurs in the seminiferous tubules? The seminiferous tubules form the site for germination, maturation, and transportation of the sperm cells within the testes of the male animals. The processes are called spermatogenesis. The process of meiosis takes place within the seminiferous tubules. The sertoli cells found ...

Protein synthesis is the process through which the biological cells produce new protein molecules. The process helps in balancing the cellular proteins that are lost through export or degradation. The synthesis of proteins occurs through a series of processes known as translation where the ribosomes are the organelles that are involved in the creation of proteins. Translation is a part of gene expression using the messenger RNA or mRNA that is produced through transcription of the DNA molecule. The produced mRNA is then decoded to produce a chain of specific amino acids using the ribosome complex. The amino acid ...

If eating a boiled duck egg with developed embryo in it is considered taboo for an American, the same cannot be said for the people in the Philippines, as the consumption of boiled duck embryo is considerably a unique piece of its food culture and history. Americans should not always think of themselves, as an epitome of cultural and social correctness and consider the uniqueness of the rest of the people in the world as disgustingly different. This is because the world and its nations of various cultures were not founded from the same political and social principle of ...

Environmental and genetic influences work hand in hand in fetal development. In reality it is difficult to account for what impact these influences may have but one thing is for sure, they work hand in hand in order for the fetus to develop well. There are many of these factors that influence a healthy fetal development. Some of the environmental influences are nutrition and health whereas genetic influences are hormones and folic acid among others (Burger 2000). These influences in one way or another have a huge role that they play in order to ensure that the fetus develops ...

Indigenous Midwifery Practices in Canada

Introduction The indigenous people of Canada are the initial occupants of the present day Canada. They include the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The indigenous people had a solid cultural health infrastructure even before the advent of modern medical system (Waldram, Herring & Young, 2000). The cultural health system had elements like midwifery, surgery, diagnosis and prescription principles. However, by the transition of the cultural health systems through periods of colonial influence, they have been significantly diluted.

Pregnancy during adolescence exposes ladies and the born children to health risks. Some of this risks include; malnutrition, low birth-weight, social and emotional complications and depression (McDowell, 2011). Such bad health conditions can be avoided. Ladies should engage in unprotected sex when their reproductive system has matured. Teenage mothers do not eat well during their pregnancy (McDowell, 2011). Consequently, they do not gain weight. They give birth to light kids. Low birth-weight relates to several complications including; poorly developed organs, brain bleeding, interstitial problems and respiratory distress. In addition to this, teenage mothers are likely to use drugs due ...

Argument 1 for Birth Control: Birth control paves the way for responsible family planning.

In today’s hard times, it is but a couple’s due diligence to properly plan for family life. Planned pregnancies ensure that both the soon-to-be father and mother are ready for the daunting task of taking care of a child.

Recent research has shown the importance of breastfeeding to infant babies for healthy growth and development of important organs such as the brain. Children who are breastfed developed a high IQ and a good cognitive functioning ability. The infant gets the nutrients from the mother inside the worm and through breast-feeding after birth. The mother's milk has important nutrients such as fatty acids (which promote neuronal growth), iodine, vitamins and carbohydrates. Prenatal maternal nutrition is concerned and addresses the nutrients that the infant gets during the pregnancy after birth which have an impact on the infant birth weight and ...

There are a variety of birth defects that are influenced by the actions of the parent while the child is in utero. From the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol, to the physiological changes that occur within the mother’s body as a response to stress and dietary deficiencies, the influence of such prenatal events can prove to be lifelong for the child. One such disorder associated with the prenatal environment is known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), which falls under the category of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. The spectrum of disorders under the FASD umbrella also includes Partial ...

Introduction

For a long time now, the debate in the moral status of abortion has been raging. Anti-abortionists and pro-choicers have held and argued for different premises, each armed with relevant moral principles to collaborate their positions. The moral principles that have been used to advance these arguments among others include the principle that only persons hold the right to life and the principle that it is immoral to end the life of a human being. Other arguments towards the moral status of abortion are influenced by religious dogma. The common ground for many anti-abortionist arguments is that it is ...

Abortion has been, is, and always will be a topic that rouses great debate among ethicists and philosophers. Deciding whether or not to end a life, or if it is a life that is ending began a discussion that is likely never to end. Many believe that an abortion is ethically irresponsible and even intolerable. They believe that it is no different than if one were to go out and murder another living person. However, the argument can be made that the act of abortion does have an ethical foot to stand on, for several reasons, all of which ...

The thought of killing to most people is bone chilling and makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. Abortion is unjustifiable murder because that fetus being done away with is a human being that deserves the right to live just like the people participating in the act. Abortion is an issue that should not be taken lightly because; it is a termination of what could potentially become a human being. Abortion is the intentional termination of a pregnancy before maturity. This is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the womb before maturity. There ...

The Process of Spermatogenesis in the Male Testis

Spermatogenesis is an intricate process that involves mitotic cell division, meiosis, and its process. The regulation of spermatogenesis involves the endocrine and the paracrine mechanisms. The spermatogenesis endocrine stimulation involves the follicle stimulating hormones (FSH) and the luteinizing hormone. The luteinizing hormone acts through the intermediary testosterone that is produced by the leydig cells in the testis. A male fertility requires the production by the testis with large number of normal spermatozoa by spermatogenesis process. There are three major steps subdivided in the process; the mitosis, meiosis, and the transformation of the round spermatid. The multiplication of spermatogonia is ...

Abstract

One of the most controversial issues ever over time is abortion and whether women have the right to have one or not. The debate has become even more intense after the Roe v. Wade court case.

Introduction

Utilitarian ethical theory defines morality as the maximization of expectable utility for parties likely to be affected by an action or a decision. Furthermore, various aspects of utilitarianism have historically been under development and debate, this modern theory, however, is most attributed to John Stuart. He developed this theory from a Hedonistic version that had been prevailed upon by his mentor Jeremy Bentham. Its basic principle is that actions are good to the extent that they promote the greatest good for majority of the population. It matters not whether at a reasonable man’s point of view, the actions ...

The Bill was introduced on 11th July, 2013 by Republican lawmakers. It incorporated measures that would beef up abortion regulations in the State of Texas. In its interests, it followed that a ban was to be put in place that makes it unlawful for one to perform an abortion beyond 20 weeks after fertilization. The proponent in the introduction of the Bill also targeted protection of innocent fetuses from undue pain. It also required that, in the event medical doctors were to perform an abortion, it must be in a registered surgical institution. Furthermore, it had a clause that ...

The education of women and girls tends to result in a low rate of population growth. This is because education provides females with the knowledge on how to plan their families. For instance, education provides them with knowledge about the use of contraceptives and thus results in a reduction in pregnancies. In any case, it allows women to space pregnancies and have fewer children that matches their economic abilities. Consequently, a decline in the number of children in every household result in a slow rate of population growth. Another correlation between the education of the girl child and that ...
