3. If she decides to have the test should she tell her son the result? However painful, most people would believe that she has a duty to her son to inform him. The result has a direct bearing on his own life and that of his unborn child. He still has the autonomy to decide not to act on the information.
In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, prejudice extends past race and gender to include unethical verdicts. It may be perfectly legal that John Hopkins researchers used Henrietta’s cells, however it is immoral. A consent form demonstrated, on page thirty-one, a vague statement and because of this the existence of Henrietta Lacks cells will always stir controversy whether it is in their origin or the continued usage for years to come and I believe we should have consent to our cells because it our rights as humans and the right to privacy. In addition, it is important for people to know what is done to cells because we should not unwillingly give consent (if we are not fully aware). Ethical dilemmas arise one being the Lacks family had no idea that a sample of her tumour had been taken and sent to George Gey.
Groupe Roussel-Uclaf has announced its intention to distribute RU-486 in the US. There are only two modes of legitimate entry to the market: drug approval through FDA or qualification under an importation exemption for “life-saving” medications. If made available in the US, RU-486 will make abortion more accessible, a trend which runs counter to the Republican’s pro-life platform and the administration’s desire to eliminate use of federal monies for abortion-related activities. A Republican appointee, FDA Commissioner Young must prevent RU-486 from entering the market. He can do so by employing regulatory tactics such as exercising authority, traditional bureaucratic “red tape,” and anti-abortion regulations; codifying these decisions, hence
Designer Babies are developing embryo's with specific trait's such as personal characteristics, gender and inherited disorders. Infants are created by genetic engineering combined with In vitro fertilisation in order to ensure the absence or presence of a particular gene. People agree with method's of designing babies to allow parents to have a child, prevent genetic genes or to create a baby that can provide genetic material for medical purposes. For those that are unable to have their own children due to genetic disorders or tending to reproduce, designer babies allow those parents the option to create an embryo which can change the genetic make-up of the embryo allowing these parents to conceive. Mothers would be able to conceive healthy
The Center for Disease Control, in 2007, sent out surveys entitled, Maternity Practices in Infant feeding and Care (mPINC), to hospitals in the U.S. offering maternity services to evaluate compliance in implementing the Ten Steps. The average hospital scored 63 out of a possible 100. The national surveyed showed hospitals reported the most difficult steps to implement were: Step 6 (no supplements), Step 2 (staff training) and Step 7 (rooming in), (Center for Disease Control, 2007). It is easy to understand why these steps have met resistance. We, as clinicians must give the mother, up to date information so that she may make an informed decision.

Many doctors will simply tell you to go find another doctor if you do not want to follow the schedule they already use. This should not be an issue with doctors because as long as you are getting the vaccines it really should not matter when you get them as long as they are affective. The bottom line is parents who want to do an alternate schedule are ultimately trying to do what they feel is best for their child. Is it better to just follow the masses and get your child vaccinated when you are told? Or is it better to do some research and find out what vaccines your child is getting and the effects they have on your child’s young body?
Abortion just isn't right at all, you should have the baby and make sure that you don't want it. Now if you don't want the baby at all you should really think about putting it up for adoption, to make that the baby gets a chance to live an experience the life you got. You really need to think about the situation and not think that you need to have an abortion right away just because you just didn't think about the whole situation that you put yourself in. I just feel that if you don't want the baby you just really need to put it up for adoption that is the next best thing besides keeping it for yourself. Adoption in my opinion should just be illegal in every state because you are just taking a harmless baby's life for no reason, the baby didn't ask you to make it.
Children really need attachment figures that can provide care .Usually this would come in the form of a single care provider however there are certain circumstances were multiple attachments figures are needed in order to ensure basic survival. This would mean that evolutionary theory of attachment would be more applicable to Tina’s situation. As Tina would be too busy taking care of her child, she would not be able to buy herself the necessities needed to care for the baby as well as herself. This would mean that the father would have to be introduced into the relationship in order to ensure their basic future survival as the father may be able to provide these resources while the mother can
How important is your name to identity: A person’s name is another big factor that makes up an individual’s identity; it is a label for a noun, which is normally used to distinguish one person from another. Parents or guardians who give their children a name often go through many different names in order to search for the right name that they think that suits their child the best. An individual’s name although can be changed by the law, goes on everything that they own and most importantly their identification and credentials such as driver’s license or passport. People also not only have names, but nicknames, last names and middle names that also further distinguish an individual as to who they are. Although some names are consulted by religious people or even astrologers in order to find the name of the child that it will have to live with for the rest of its life (in some circumstances these names will be changed).
