Pros of Designer Babies Genetic screening can reduce the baby's chances of being born with several serious diseases like Down Syndrome, Famial hypercholesterolemia, rare blood disorders such as Diamond Blackfan Anaemia, etc. Adam Nash was the world's first known designer baby born by the revolutionary pre-implantation process in the year 2000. Scientists genetically selected his embryo so that he would possess the right cells to save his dying sister's life. His sister suffered from Fanconi's anaemia (blood disorder), and mostly the chances of Adam getting that disorder was also very high. An embryo was chosen, which did not have Fanconi's anaemia.
(a) Thomson used some cases as the violinist, the open windows to establish thought experiments to argue that abortion is permissible in most cases. She assumed the fetus is like a violinist who has a fatal ailment and need to plug into a person for nine month to be cured, the person is like a pregnant woman. If you are the person to be plugged into, will you keep it to let the violinist survive or unplug it to let him die? In the open windows case, fetus becomes a seed which drop from the sky and pregnant woman becomes the owner of a house. The seed will take root in the house if it gets into the house.
Caroline becomes almost like a guardian angel as she attends to her ill father for several months and also adopts Elizabeth to give her the lifestyle in which she deserves. She almost really does become a guardian angel, as she dies in child birth whilst giving birth to William. This contributes to the theme of birth and creation, as she takes her life to create a new one, in turn entwining the ideas of death and birth together. Victor’s wanting to create the monster stemmed from ‘the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn’ as he wanted to gain all knowledge and become almost God. Following the death of Caroline, Victor becomes engrossed in the creation and the idea of creating a monster and almost usurps the role of God by creating ‘man’, however it can be argued by many that the Monster isn’t a man at all, nor is he treated like one by many due to his looks.

After all, whether with breast milk or formula, feeding is an important time of connection between mother and baby. * Is breast milk really best? Breast milk is no better for a baby than formula, an expert claimed as he reignited the 'breast is best' debate. Professor Sven Carlsen said breast-fed babies were slightly healthier, but it was not the milk that made the difference. Instead, babies who are breast-fed have benefited from better conditions in the womb before birth.
Pregnancy loss - Stillbirth Stillbirth happens when the fetus dies in the uterus and is born dead. “Fetal deaths whose birth weight is over 12.5 oz or those more than 20 weeks of gestation” and the mother might still have contractions and has to undergo childbirth There may be no symptoms for stillbirth. If the mother experiences degreased movement of the baby or is at risk of a stillbirth, the doctor may arrange tests like ultrasound or CTG to check the baby. Vaginal bleeding, especially during the second half of pregnancy, may mean that there’s something wrong with the baby. When stillbirth happens it affects the whole family.
Louise became pregnant out of wedlock, and because of her religious beliefs, her parents sent her away to a home for unwed mothers, to give birth to Ted.

So the first few years of Ted’s life, he called his grandparents mother and father and his mother, Louise. When Ted was four years old, Louise moved Ted to the state of Washington, where eventually she met and married, Johnnie Culpepper Bundy.

The viewers would eventually warm up to the idea and it became more socially acceptable.
The baby usually dies from the trauma of the delivery. However, if the baby is old enough, it will be born alive. This is called a “complication.” To prevent this, some abortionists use ultrasound to guide them as they inject a “feticide” (a drug that kills the fetus) into the unborn baby’s heart. They then administer prostaglandin and a dead baby is delivered. This type of abortion is used in mid and late term pregnancies.
