Risks and Causes When it comes down to it the cause of this disease, doctors still continue to debate. However there are a few possible theories as to why some children are born with fused limbs. They vary from: •Any kind of major illness suffered by the expecting mother or the fetus during pregnancy •Any kind of physical or mental stress on the expecting mother •Excessive exposure to radiation as one of the most likely causes. They claim that excessive radiation could lead to genetic mutational changes, which could cause fusion of the legs of the developing fetus •Inherited genetic disorders, either due to genes from the father or the mother •Inadequate prenatal care by the expecting mother •Strong link with maternal diabetes (22% of children born with this disease will be born to a diabetic mother) In addition, this syndrome goes hand in hand with other life-threatening problems. Such as failed kidneys and internal and external genitalia, which causes the large intestine to misplace itself inside the abdomen of the child.
This leads to several patients who would normally only transfer a single embryo or at most two to elect transferring more. They do this in the hope that it will increase their chances for a successful cycle and eliminate the need for repeated procedures and additional high out of pocket costs. However this also leads to an increased amount of multiple births and all the health issues that come along with them. To stop this cycle the United States needs regulations and detailed legislation in place for ART. Congress through legislation should set regulations for ART and Insurance coverage.
Facing this scientific topic, Pence (1998) pointed out that human cloning should be considered as another way of reproductive technology, as another way to create a family. However, a close look to this issue lets us notice that there is a lot of contention about it because no matter what possible benefits human cloning could provide, it goes against human integrity. As a technical and medical procedure, human cloning can not be counted as a safe method to be applied to humans. Basically, it is a removing and replacing DNA procedure, in which an embryo’s DNA is changed for one set of chosen genes from another individual. The next step is to implant it on a woman’s womb and after a period of time the result will be a new human being with the same genes as the original (Robinson, 2005) So far, what has been experimented on animals shows us that there is a “high failure rate”.
Therefore there is reason to believe that genes may not affect gender development that much as there are a lot of people nowadays who are transgender. However, hormones can also have an effect on gender development. Case studies such as the Batista family show that hormones can have a huge effect on gender development as Imperato-Mcginley et al, found that four children in Dominica were born with female genitalia and were raised as girls, but they produced large amounts of testosterone at puberty and
However, plastic surgery can be a good thing for people who really have a medical reason to undergo those procedures. Changing one’s appearance based on society’s pressure is not necessary. Transition, connect this paragraph’s support to the thesis=topic sentence People, who undergo cosmetic procedures just because they think they have to,becauseother people had it done and because they think they have to keep up, are most likely not satisfied with the outcome. Cloud (2009) puts this statement to the test by saying that cosmetic surgery does not always make the person feel better. His article also points out that through different studies concluded in different countries, that women who get breast implants commit suicide at a much higher rate than women without those procedures, even so you(can’t use “you”) could say that women who undergo those procedures are already depressed to a certain level before the procedure.
If a woman is unaware of this it can 5ther to be infertile or she can have a life-threatening tubal pregnancy. 3 One major obstacle to the making of a vaccine is chlamydia’s sneaky way of wreaking disorder on the body. Chlamydia does not damage tissues directly; they extract a keen immune response that attempts to rein in the infection through inflammation for as long as the bacteria remain in the body as a substitute. This way of fighting the infection essentially brings on the long-term damage. Vaccines prevent illness by priming the immune system to react powerfully to specific disease-causing agents, but in this case, the inflammatory component of such a response can cause more harm than good.
Because of the way the disease is inherited, it is much more likely for a male to obtain the disease because they have only one X chromosome, whereas females have two so it would be more difficult for them to receive it on both of their chromosomes. According to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, more than half of the cases of Duchenne disorder are inherited from the mother. This is because it is likely for a mother to be a carrier by the gene, but they are not typically affected by the disorder. Looking at it that way, the son of a carrier has a fifty-fifty chance of being affected while the daughter has a fifty-fifty chance of being a carrier alone. According to the same source, quite a small amount of female carriers experience a very small degree of muscle weakness
About six out of 100 women will get pregnant if they don’t always use the shot. Condoms should still be used with both methods. Birth control doesn’t only help against pregnancy but it helps with medical issues as well. About one-point-five million women take birth control for other reasons than preventing pregnancy. It helps with menstrual cramps, extremely painful menstrual cycles, and premenstrual syndrome.
Once a woman got this, it means that is impossible to get pregnant. “In vitro fertilization techniques were used to recover oocytes from each woman and fertilize them with her husband’s sperm.”(Handyside, 1992). Basically, using this method, the researchers may extract everything is wrong in these embryos, leaving there a healthy cleavage-stage embryos that could be implanted in the uterus and avoiding the need to terminate a pregnancy. This is the first advantage that we present here.
A rhetorical device from the speech would be removing birth control from teens would it prevent more pregnancy among teens or would it increase pregnancy and disease. • How did the speaker address arguments and counterarguments? In the speech the speaker acknowledged both the arguments and counterarguments when she explained why birth control is valuable but from the other point of view why people think it should be removed totally. The speaker stated both sides of the argument well and would then comeback with something to counteract it. She gave plenty of reasons why her argument for birth control could be outweighing by the arguments against.
