Grif Stockley grew up during the 1950’s in Arkansas’ Lee County. His father was a doctor and Stockley remembers having black men taking care of his yard when he was younger, and always referring to him as ‘Sir Grif,” even though he had not approached adolescence. Later in life, he became a lawyer. Although he is a lawyer, Stockley has authored several published books—the beginning ones relating to law, and then transitioning to focus on the civil rights movement and race relations within the country. Blood in their Eyes, published in 2001 by the University of Arkansas Press, is an analysis of the race riot that occurred in Phillips County in 1919, which is adjacent to Lee County, with a special analysis of Scipio Jones’ legal involvement, who
In order to reverse or prevent some types of eye damage, variations of gene-replacement, or the identifying a mutation that cripples retinas and fixing the problem by slipping a good copy of genes into the eye, could find, or even fix similar genetic defects early on. In addition to gene-replacement, stem cells, or cells in early stage of development, replace or reduce the failing retinal cells that cause blindness. Dobbs also talks about bionic retinas, or microchips that replace failed retinal cells by collecting or amplifying light. They bring a low-resolution version of sight to people with histories of blindness.

Rett’s syndrome is considered by medical experts as a rare genetic neurological and developmental disorder that affects the way the brain develops causing a progressive inability to use muscles for speech, and eye and body movements. Most babies seem to develop normally until about six to eighteen months old. Rett’s
The article, “Prenatal Tests Puts Down Syndrome in Hard Focus,” begins with a soft lead. It focuses on Sarah Itoh, a child with Down syndrome. I found this to be effective because of the nature of this article, it is talking about a child with Down syndrome and it shows off a little bit of her personality. The nut graph of the article comes after the author describes that Sarah likes school and how Math was hard, but it is getting better. I believe the nut graph is: “Until this year, only pregnant women 35 and older were routinely tested to see if their fetuses had the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome.

A neonatologist is a doctor involved in treating and caring for high-risk infants. They work with premature infants, or those born prior to thirty-seven weeks of pregnancy, to infants with birth defects. They also help and work with the prenatal care of high-risk infants.

When he was 16, he was diagnosed with Keratitis punctate, which causes the eye to become red, watery, sensitive to the light and decreases vision. This nearly ruined his vision. He underwent surgery that saved him from losing complete use of his eyes, but was left with very minimal eyesight.
Hannah Beauregard Every year about 500,000 babies are born premature, that 's 1 of every 8 infants born in the U.S. When a baby is premature that means the baby was born before 37 weeks of pregnancy when a full term of pregnancy is 40 weeks.(Premature babies, medline plus) Because of infants being born so early and not fully developed they have a much higher chance of have some health related issues. A few examples are Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Chronic Lung Disease, and Retinopathy of Prematurity, Patent ductus arteriosus, in some cases a baby that is born premature may not survive. Premature babies are usually placed in the intensive care unit (ICU).(March of dimes) Respiratory distress syndrome is a very common disorder that almost all infants that are born before 28 weeks end up having.
The wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels behind the retina starts to grow underneath the macular. This condition is called choroidal neovascularization (CNV). These blood vessels tend to be very fragile and always leak blood and fluid into the retina, and subsequently causing permanent damage to light-sensitive retinal cells, which die off and create blind spots in central vision. Thus, people with wet AMD can loss their vision rapidly. Also, wet AMD causes distortion of vision that makes straight lines look wavy, as well as blind spots and loss of central
Abortion is a controversial topic that has caused much disagreement for philosophers and people alike. Whether it should be morally permissible for the mother to have control over her body and the future of the first-trimester foetus is a question that has moral, legal and religious implications.

It will be argued that abortion of a first-trimester foetus is morally permissible due to the mother’s right to her own body, the problems associated with the potentiality argument as well
