    I was lonely and lived in isolation with my mother. Children shunned me, and if they came hear me I threw rocks at them. People often called me names such as, “imp” or “elf-child.” Living in solitude never bothered me. I often found pleasure in games and using my extravagant imagination. Early in my childhood, I was a very intelligent, imaginative, and determined child. Like most, I had a temper too. At the age of seven I learned that Dimmesdale is my father. I had always had my suspicions about him. I am not mad at my mother for keeping his identity concealed, and I am no longer mad at my father for not coming forth sooner about the sins he committed with my mother. They were protecting me as well as…

    "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is about this southern planter Peyton Farquhar being hanged by the Union Army during the Civil War for trying to burn down Owl Creek Bridge. Ambrose Bierce depicted the entire story as if the rope around Farquhar's neck breaks and that leads to Farquhar falling into the river below, and then escaping back to his farm; where he reunited with his wife. Then at the end of the story, Bierce revealed to the readers that all the events were simply Farquhar's imagination at work in the few seconds between the drop of his rope and his death. In summary, he died and the rope did not break which allowed him to swim down the river.…

    Some examples of actual and alleged unethical conduct in practicing assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have given rise public debate about these rapidly progressing technologies. In certain instances it was believed that eggs stored for posterity by patients were used to impregnate others without any explanation, permission, or the informed consent of the parties. Although this was not the first time revelation of potential deception has ever come to light in the field of ART. There have been other cases where a doctor who operated a private clinic used his own sperm for artificial insemination without the patients consent.

    Infertility, or sterility, is the inability to produce offspring or the inability to conceive. Although the majority of American men and women assume that they will mature, fall in love, and create children of their own, the rate of fertility continues to decrease over the years, and the American dream of becoming a parent does not always become a reality. Although some men and women are complacent with adoption or an egg/sperm donation, others who plan for a child of their own consider infertility as a major devastation. Research has shown that over thirty percent of women in America experience complications with fertility and fourteen percent of all clinically recognized pregnancies in America result in a miscarriage or stillbirth (Schwerdtfeger). However, fertility is not just a concern for females. For centuries, if a couple were unable to have children, the fault was put on the women, although we now know that both men and women suffer equally from fertility complications. Among couples who are infertile, about forty percent of cases are exclusively due to female infertility, forty percent to male infertility and ten percent involving problems with both partners (McArthur). The factor of not being able to produce offspring is a hard concept to endure for both genders, and can result in severe emotional issues that can be sustained for an extended period of time. The effects of being infertile can take a severe toll on one’s relationship with family, friends, and most commonly, their significant other.…

    As a child, I always used to wonder why can't my parents be friendly with me? Why can't they try to see where I'm coming from? All I wanted was them to spend some time together as a family and not having felt as I was in school 24x7. Was it because they were under the cultural influence which was directing them to maintain parental gap? The answer is yes; they were just practicing their cultural norms. As being originated from Indian family, my parents always maintained that boundary line which never let me cross my thoughts across to them. As a result, I kept all my thoughts, my views and peer problems to myself. From being a brilliant kid, I became a person with passive personality: always scared, nervous and feared socializing because I…

    Many believe that the most important people in our lives are our parents. After all, our parents are part of the close knit pack that we refer to as our family. Parents don’t have to be related to us. A parent is not defined by flesh and blood. They are the individuals that care for us, and treat us like they had given birth to us themselves. Approximately 120,000 children are adopted in the United States each year, and most of these children never know the difference. Many people that adopt cannot conceive a child of his or her own for whatever reason, and treat the adopted children the same way that a parent who had given birth to the child would. But adoption is not the only alternative. Some people may seem like parents even if they aren’t legal guardians. In Michael Dorris’s, A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, we follow the journey of Rayona, a young girl that knows the identities of her parents, but looks for love elsewhere, and she finds it in unexpected places.…

    Infertility is the fundamental lacking of the ability to conceive a baby, and both men and women can have this problem. Dr. Clark, our guest speaker in class pointed out that approximately 30% of men and women are infertile, while 25% of infertility cannot be explain by science yet. Because of that, infertility is no longer considered as a lifestyle problem but a disease instead. According to Dr. Clark, one of the options for the infertility patients today is the use of stem cell therapies to treat infertility, and one of the recent popular stem cell therapies is reproductive cloning. Reproduction cloning is a process to “produce” a next generation of “you” through somatic cell nuclear transfer. In my paper, I will argue that reproductive cloning is morally permissible because of its similarity to in-vitro fertilization. After that I will offer a counter argument suggest that it’s better to utilize limited amount of oocytes on a group of sickness rather than infertile people.…

Many people share their stories on how they would like to meet their biological parents and how they would share so much about their everyday lives. One story written by Lindsay Greenawalt was very interesting; she wrote to her unknown father in a Father’s Day blog posting. She stated, “I’ve dreamt of you since I was a little girl. There are so many things I want to know about you “(Greenawalt qtd. in Crary). This is just one of the many examples of how children are trying to meet their biological parents.…

    The first time I found out I was adopted was around third or fourth grade. I obviously knew something was different because my skin color was not the same as my parents. Some of my classmates began to ask why I looked different from them and I could not answer their question, so I decided to ask my parents. They just told me that when I was a baby, my biological parents did not believe they would be able to support a baby, so they gave me up for adoption. Then my adopted parents decided to adopt me and that was why I looked different from them. They reassured me that they loved me as much as they would their own child and that they were so happy they adopted me. Being around ten, I knew that my parents loved me so much and that I loved them even if we were not biologically related. When I look back to my childhood, the first time I did not question whether my biological or adopted family was my “real…

    Introduction Our human species is not exactly known for its willingness to comply with divine instruction. But when God said unto them “Be fruitful and multiply”, they were more than eager to comply. They took the task to heart. They turned a duty into a pleasure. The majority of couples had no problem. A minority, however, were distressed because of delay or inability to conceive and bring forth children. Medicine tried to help them to conceive naturally. There remained, however, a group who could not reproduce naturally without assistance. Infertility affects more than 80 million people worldwide. In general, one in ten couples experiences primary or secondary infertility, but infertility rates vary amongst countries from less than 5% to more than 30%. The increasing prevalence of infertility cases is becoming a major public health problem in developing countries (WHO, 2002). The term “infertility” refers to inability to conceive after having regular unprotected sex. Infertility can also refer to the biological inability of an individual to contribute to conception, or to a female who cannot carry a pregnancy full term (Medical News Today, 2009). Though infertility was…
