Womb For Rent For A Price Summary
In "Womb for Rent-For a Price", Ellen Goodman writes to persuade the reader that the act of surrogate moms ought to be prohibited. She shows reasons why ladies become surrogate moms. She invests the vast majority of her energy in the reasons why they will utilize their body as a processing plant for a child.

    Instead, they should take advantage of their God-given abilities to conceive and give birth to children. The new-borns can then be sold to other people for various uses such as acting as a source of delicacy. Thus, the author uses the perspective of using the children as a source of income, as opposed to being a burden to their poor parents. In addition, instead of the author providing an ethical mechanism that would help reduce cases of street and poor families in Ireland and other parts of the world, he suggests that the families should start using their children as a trade commodity for their own benefit. This forms the shocking ending of the…

    In some ethical and legal respects a pregnant woman and her fetus can be considered separate. Both the woman and the fetus are ordinarily affected by the well-being of one another for as long as each of them live. The ethical and legal issues are challenged deeply in cases where the well-being of the fetus and the mother appear to be in conflict. Our society struggles with identifying cases where the pregnant woman’s interests and/or behaviors might put her fetus at risk. Criminal and/or civil commitments should be used to bar pregnant women from exposing their fetuses to risk.…

    During the colonization of North America, the colonists created opportunities that not only benefited them, but these opportunities benefited the founding of the United States of America. The opportunities created ranged from free practice of religion by the Pilgrims to the chance of getting away from major debt within the lower class of England. The surreal amount of new resources the English had access to created opportunities in the production of goods and trade as well. Although these opportunities had some sort of gain for the Thirteen Colonies, the opportunity that created the largest benefit was the new government systems that originated in Virginia and Massachusetts. Every colony the English created had to acquiescence to a charter, a “written agreement between the colony and the king of England or Parliament.” (“The Colonial Experience”).…

    In addition, the essay continues to focus its argumentative points on the actively developing existence of the aborted unborn embryo and its living existence, for the embryo is a human in development that is unintelligent and unable to defend its living existence that undermines the right to all life. Furthermore, Meehan goes on to argue about the unjustified rights the policy reforms of unborn aborts practice, which endangers the existence of all existence because of the creation of a system that decides on what life is valuable. Also, the essay continues its argument by explaining the side effects women face after experiencing an abortion, which contain of depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, and suicidal characteristics.

    In the essay "Motherhood: Who Needs It?" Betty Rollins does not use the most effective structure and style to argue against what she believes is the "motherhood myth" (203). Rollins opposes the idea that having children is something that all women should want, and need to do instinctively. She feels that women are having babies for all the wrong reasons, and attempts to set a few things straight about motherhood itself. Though her argument may be passionate, the organization, diction, and overall tone of the essay do not seem to be the most efficient for her cause.…

    When one or more persons contract with a woman to gestate a child than relinquish that child after birth to the person or couple is known as surrogacy. It is a course of action that goes outside of natural reproduction. For some, it is the only method of having children, extending family.

    Recent evidence by Stanford University has shown that a surrogate’s womb may act as more than just a home for a fetus, in fact, the womb may effects how a child’s genes will be programmed (Moss and Baden). If this study is correct it would suggest that surrogacy may be more than just a service. Additionally, this evidence would change the role of a surrogate to lean farther away from a service provider, and closer to selling a child with whom a surrogate has genetic ties too. Studies like these have amplified anti-surrogacy arguments like those of Barba Rothman. In her article, “On Surrogacy” Rothman rejects the idea that, “a woman can be pregnant with someone else’s baby… it reduces a woman to a container.” Furthermore, Rothman insists that surrogacy is baby-selling.…

    In 1995, the FDA approved a miracle drug, which would aid in a person's ability to cope with the severe pain associated with cancer. Purdue Pharma L.P. of Stamford, Connecticut, introduced the wonder drug that would eventually be the demise of many. Oxycotin would, for several, lead to addiction, criminal behaviors, and, for some, their lives. The intent of releasing the drug was solely to treat patients suffering from chronic pain. Since the release of the drug, doctors are now prescribing the medicine for moderate pain as well. Patients have become extremely addicted and have gone to extreme lengths to obtain the "poor man's heroin," which may include criminal activities.
