How come 50% of zygotes spontaneously Abort themselve?

Asking religious zealots to be logical is just not going to happen. Also, I would not open any packages you get in the next couple of weeks. They can't kill a fetus, but they will blow your @ss up in a heartbeat.

Morning after pill, second that motion.\nOh! Isn't this still considered an abortion by some extremist Christians?  Who cares about them?  \nThey are going to hell along with the rest of the extremist racist bigots.

I can't find where your question asks "what is your opinion of people who have had abortions"...It is uncomfortable, more so the farther along you are, I've had two. Do I regret it...having to make the decision yes...the procedure, no. I have three children and never had a problem getting pregnant. I worked in Social/Court Services and became so burned out seeing woman having baby after baby they didn't want and the effect it had on those children. In real life only a small percentage will give unselfishly through adoption, the majority give birth and spend the next 18 years screwing up innocent kids.

Ans. C\nWhat human would subject themself to this? Besides, a human probably couldn't produce enough offspring in a lifetime to make the test reliable.

it is a way to mix up genetic material.\n\nDurring miosis, one of each pair of chromosomes is randomly given to a sperm or egg cell, in order to be matched with another pair from a sperm or egg cell.  Therefore, the zygote (kid) develops with a number of possible combinations of it's parrents' DNA.\n\nChromosomes can also perform "crossing over", where the pair of chromosomes switch a section of DNA, mixing the DNA before chromosomes are ever split up.\n\nHaving DNA in organized bundles just makes going through mitosis or miosis a lot more easy, because all of the DNA is in a couple neat bundles.

Most miscarriages, especially first trimester ones like yours, happen due to some developmental problem with the fetus.  This is often a genetic problem severe enough that development cannot continue, so the pregnancy ends because it could never have resulted in a baby.  However, the fact that you have a child shows that if you do have a genetic defect, it wouldn't be present in every egg or every sperm, so there is a possibility that you could conceive another child.  Genetic screening exists in which eggs are fertilized in vitro and the genes of each embryo are screened to determine which of them carry the defect and which do not.  The only embryos that could be implanted in your womb would be those which did not carry the defect and could develop into a baby.  The other embryos would not be physically able to develop even if they were implanted in your womb, because they would have that defect.  It would be up to you and your husband to decide if that is something you would want to do, if in fact there is a genetic defect.\n\nIt is also possible that you have a physical problem preventing you from carrying to term.  Have you had a gynecologist exam to determine if there is anything wrong?  I doubt that this is the problem because you are losing your pregnancies so early, but it would be good just to make sure everything is ok.  \n\nGood luck!

because they are idiots \n\nI cannot say it any simpler\n\nthe life of a small embryo is worth far less than the potential to save the lives of countless living people.

There is a very minuscule percentage of becoming pregnant after getting your tubes tied and that is attached to the minuscule chance that they become untied.

Your reasoning is very sound, and I agree with you. Most times I think this would be the best solution. I am sure there are times when aborting is the only answer, but rare. Stand up for you believe.

The cause of most spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) is fetal death due to fetal genetic abnormalities, usually unrelated to the mother. Other possible causes for spontaneous abortion include infection, physical problems the mother may have, hormonal factors, immune responses, and serious systemic diseases of the mother (such as diabetes or thyroid problems).\n\nIt is estimated that up to 50% of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant. Among known pregnancies, the rate of spontaneous abortion is approximately 10% and usually occurs between the 7th and 12th weeks of pregnancy.\n\nThe risk for spontaneous abortion is higher in women over age 35, in women with systemic diseases such as diabetes or thyroid problems, and women with a history of three or more prior spontaneous abortions.

Rewrite:\n\nArgument still stands for all to read.\n\n#1 The brain and heart don't start beating until way after the time for an abortion.  So technically, it's not a life yet.\n\n#2 60% of all children within the system never get adopted.  I'm sure if the number was much better a lot of people might consider it a real alternative.\n\nThey prolifers do it because it's an ideology thing.  They don't actually want to adopt the kids or help out the poor/underprivileged people.  It's much easier for them to jus preach about what they believe is right.  That way, on Sunday then can think back on all the times they've tried to spread the word of God - and not on how many times they've actually tried to live by it.\n\nYou show me a good person who gives himself honestly to his fellow man for the good of everyone but himself, and I'll show you someone who wouldn't call himself a religious person.

All forms of birth control are less than 100% effective.  The Mirena has at least a 1 in 1000 rate of pregnancy.\n\nNobody is quite sure how an IUD works.  Preventing implantation is the most popular theory today, but it is *not* definite.\n\nAs to whether it is abortion, it is a matter of definition.  If you consider a fertilized egg the equivalent of an embryo or fetus, then, yes, it is a form of abortion.  However, until the fertilized egg implants, it is in no way attached to the woman's body.  It is not physically part of her.  It has no physical effects on the woman.  Moreover, most women lose many fertilized eggs over their lifetimes.  So many people don't consider it to be the equivalent of abortion.

Unfortunatel this is a genetic disease.  The chances are about 35-50% put the good news is that it is managable

Almost all males are infertile, but fertility in females is possible. About half of females are fertile. \n\nSo yes, it's possible, but it's not exactly common. More are infertile than fertile.\n\nIt's not really clear why most males are sterile, but I would suggest that the trisomy 21 condition (people with Down's syndrome have an extra 21st chromosome - in most cases, anyway) somehow interferes with the inactivation of the X chromosome in males, which leads to infertility.

When some people do in vitro fertilization, a large number of eggs are extracted and fertilized.  Occassionally, fertilization is more successful than anticipated and some couples may choose to freeze any embryos for the future.  However, these couples may be so happy with their baby that they want to share this joy with someone else.  So, they may offer to donate or allow another couple (who may have more trouble conceiving) to adopt the embryos. \n\nThis is a pretty simplistic explanation.  I'm sure people who have done this will be able to give you more thorough info.

30-35% chance of becoming pregnant.  First, you have to ovulate at the right time.  Then you have to have intercourse at the right time and the sperm have to find their way to the correct fallopian tube which has the ovulating ovary at the end.  The sperm are fighting pH and all kinds of other "killer" stuff in your vagina, cervix, and uterus.  Half of them die for the "good" of the others and it's a rough time.  Finally, they have to break through the egg's defenses.  So, if everything was perfectly timed, then you could be pregnant.  It's almost like a game of chance.\n\nGood luck!

I think that it is an ethical issue. How can we support the murder of our own young? Why is it so hard for people to take responsibility for themselves and know that one of the natural outcomes of sex can be pregnancy. I wish that people who didn't want to have kids would either use birth control correctly and consistantly, or quit having sex.
