The principle of justice demands medical professionals to be fair in their dealing with patients, colleagues and society. For example, health care providers must ensure fair distribution of scarce resources. Reproductive technologies create ethical issues because treatment isn’t available to everyone. Within this context, nonmedical cesarean sections can add more economic burden on already highly stressed medical system. As a result, the issue of cost must always be taken into consideration.
Advances in medicine have allowed us to save babies lives before they are even born. A mother who is stressed with a concern of the health of her baby can be put at ease with the implementation of fetal surgery. While life can be greatly improved, this can go too far. Fetal surgery is a complex yet beneficial procedure that is up for ethical debate and can save lives in utero.
In the essay, Mark Twain is saying that humans are the lowest of animals. Instead of evolving from lower species, human have descended from higher ones. “In order to determine the difference between an anaconda and an earl (if any) I caused seven young calves to be turned into the anaconda’s cage. The grateful reptile immediately crushed one of them and swallowed it, then lay back satisfied. It showed no further interest in the calves, and no disposition to harm them… The fact stood proven that the difference between an earl and an anaconda is that the earl is cruel and the anaconda isn’t….” (Twain 2). This is one example Twain uses to explain to the reader one of the reasons why he believes man is the lowest of animals. This example tells
THE ROLE OF THE MIDWIFE One of the principal roles of the midwife in hypnobirthing consists in explaining the pregnant woman and her partner evidence-based information related to the gestation and childbirth in the antenatal period. According to Philips-Moore (2012), one of the principal anxieties of the expecting couples, apart from the fear associated with terrible stories heard about birth, is the named ‘fear of the unknown’. The author states that it can be enormously reduced when a professional explains the birthing process and the methods that the woman can use to help her body in going through it. He highlights the importance of providing fathers or birth partners with explanations about the whole process and how ‘to be part of the
The United States is made up of some of the most diverse and interesting cultures in the world. Jamila Lyiscott proves this by showing her different dialects and how they are all equally important. Lyiscott believes that the way she speaks towards her parents, towards her friends, and towards her colleagues are all one in the same.
Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], 2011). Many of these objectives are interrelated, where increasing prenatal care and reducing the number of cesarean births directly affect the maternal and infant mortality rates. Intervention Nurse-midwives provide essential services to women of childbearing age and are particularly suited to providing care to rural populations. The midwifery model of care is women-focused and typically has a higher normal birth rate and higher patient satisfaction rate than obstetrician led care for low-risk patients (Collins & Kingdon, 2014). Midwives attended only approximately 8% of U.S. hospital births in 2011, increasing the number of midwives attending and caring for pregnant women could have a significant impact on the maternity care landscape in the U.S.
Moreover, all of the providers worked as a team and in synchrony with one another, which promoted a successful outcome of the birth of a healthy baby
Medical care provided by health personnel also found to be associated with traumatic childbirth. Inadequate information about delivery, less interaction with the medical staff, and inadequate care during delivery were predictors of traumatic childbirth (Creedy, et al.2000; Soet, et al. 2003; O’Donovan, et al. 2014; Simpson & Catling, 2015). Allen 1998 reported that women felt harmed when they received inadequate care and the staff was not present around the time of delivery which led women to loss control and perceiving childbirth as traumatic event. Beck (2004) supports these findings, in her qualitative study four themes were emerged about the experience of traumatic childbirth, three themes were about medical care, safety during childbirth
Abortion is a contreversial issue in our society today. Many people believe it is evil to kill an innocent baby, while others believe it is a constitutional right to choose especially in situations such as rape or if the mothers life is in danger. Taking the life away of an innocent child is not only wrong for the doctors to perform but also
This week I read an article about how women transition into parenthood and how between cultures, birthing systems are beginning to change under the influence of Western medicine. I am going to talk about the cross-cultural comparison of birthing systems, the ecology of birth, and the use of medication in childbirth. Childbirth is a physiological and cultural transaction. Giving birth and the postpartum period after birth are two moments where the mother and child are most vulnerable to ritual danger to the whole family and or community.
The thesis of this chapter states that in certain situations, it is crucial to listen to a medical professional, however, in others, it is very important to listen to yourself and also to do what you feel is right. The author of Complications," Atul Gawane, has written this specific chapter to persuade the reader of his thesis. If the choice you make is incorrect, then it could potentially be a matter of life and death.
A rhetorical analysis of: “For many restaurant workers, fair conditions not on menu”, an editorial published in February, 2014 by The Boston Globe, reveals the author’s use of classic rhetorical appeals to be heavily supported with facts, including focused logos arguments.
Persuasion makes it’s way into almost every communication event I can think of. Either I’m trying to persuade someone or they are trying to persuade me. My dad was a connoisseur in the art of rhetoric. I observed him manipulate the english language to his benefit on many occasions. He would talk people into buying vehicles, electronics, and just about anything he could make a profit on, he would talk people into giving him discounts in stores and restaurants, it was amazing to watch him, however seeing him persuade so many others made me very cautious to being persuaded. Nonetheless, recently I found myself in a situation where I was the persuadee and the persuader, a local dog breeder, created such emotion within his argument that I found
In the article, “Some Teens Start College Work Early Via Dual Enrollment” written by Joanne Jacobs,from the U.S. News and World Report Education, discussed a current path that most high schoolers are taking that will lead them to college success. Jacobs uses ethos and logos to prove the successfulness of the Dual Enrollment Program. The program offers students the opportunity to experience college life, to gain both high school and college credit, and to gain confidence.
The mother-to-be was the one to decide when to send for the midwife and other women, and upon their arrival was sequestered into a darkened room with men kept far out of range. Afterwards, a successful delivery would be celebrated with drinking, singing, and recounting of scandalous tales amongst the women. The birth room was, in essence, its own “tightly enclosed time and space,” one in which men were unwelcome for what could be hours or days. Prior to the emergence of the “man-midwife,” the appearance of a medical man during labour could mean only one thing: death.
