Will Fetal Science Lead to Lawsuits?
in an article in the New YorkTimes about an interview done about a book called “Origins: How the Nine Months before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives”, by Annie Murphy Paul explain the kind of research that is done about the fetuses and how much of this research is actual in the advantage of the baby and or the mother. This book mainly focuses on the potential uses and misuse of the research. Fetal origins research started 20 years ago and it’s the idea of conditions women experience during the nine month they are pregnant, all of this can affect our health and well=being for the rest of our lives. But this idea was denied by the scientists and medical field in the 20th century and they stared to give women all these drugs such as DES and thalidomide. They believed that the fetus was sealed away and nothing will be able to harm them, but unfortunately, all of that was wrong when the babies were born.
With this sort of research a lot can be done in protecting both the fetus and the mother. But according to Lisa Belkin “Would it be a trigger for greater resources toward helping pregnant women be healthy? To reduce their stress, improve their nutrition, and clean their environments? Or would it become just one more way to blame the mother?” or would it still remain the same?
Building a Baby, With Few Ground Rules
in this article in the New York Times it shows how some cases of surrogacy can go great when all the parties involve are willing to do the transaction as smoothly as possible. but in most cases of surrogacy, where they are no regulations can go very wrong. like what happened to the Kehoe unable to conceived. Ms. kehoe became the main contractor to get her baby, she found an egg donor, a sperm donor and even a fertility clinic to make this happened. “We paid for the egg, the sperm, the in vitro fertilization,” Ms. Kehoe said as she showed off baby pictures at her home near Grand Rapids, Mich. “They wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for us.”
they took they twin babies home until about a month the twins were in custody of the surrogate who gave birth to them, Laschell Baker of Ypsilanti, Mich. Ms. Baker had obtained a court order to retrieve them after learning that Ms. Kehoe was being treated for mental illness, according to the article.
this is a prime example of the lack of regulation something so important can have. unfortunately this is done in fertility clinics ,which they take care of everything so later on these kind of problem do not occur most of the clinics do not have the same kind of regulations as long as they get paid. how can we trust them to be able to perform accordingly to the law?
