A movie that follows four different babies around the world. From Namibia, Japan, Mongolia to the U.S. It follows the babies for one year of their lives, documenting how the different cultures have an impact on the children and their development.

I think it would be very interesting to see how other babies of different cultures grow. They have different developments and different raising techniques. I would love to learn how the babies of these cultures are raised.

this was really an interesting article. I think it would be great if they came back 17 years later and followed them once more just to see the change and progression.

This article gives points from both sides of the spectrum regarding Abortion. It is a super controversal subject. Some people believe that even if you dont want the child, that you should at least wait out the pregnancy and then give the baby up for adoption. On the other hand, you have this person that has no interest in this child that they are carrying, so are they really going to make sure that it is a healthy pregnancy? Like no drinking, or smoking, taking all the pre-natal vitamins...and if the answer is no, then is it doing more harm putting a baby through future potential problems? All these questions are what make this topic so difficult to argue for or against and to be absolutly sure about the decision.

Many points come up in the abortion debate. Here's a look at 10 abortion arguments from both sides - 10 arguments for abortion and 10 arguments against abortion - for a total of 20 statements covering a range of issues including teen pregnancy, rape and incest, post-abortion stress, health concerns and complications, and whether abortion is moral.

By mudering a child can you be in peace? A baby is in some cases known as a gift from god. I think that the babies who have been mudered could have been famous musicians or even as smart as Einstein. Have an abortion leads unhealth cases.

as part of our personal freedoms women should be allowed to have an abortion, or as many as they want.Many American believe abortion freedom is as important as the right to free speech, and the right to vote.

This topic is a difficult one to discuss. I feel as if birth and pregnancy is a miracle and its such a beautiful thing. Women able to be pregnant should be proud and feel blessed as some women aren't as grateful. I feel as if their is no excuse to take an infants life for the mothers fault. The only time i feel that there should be a debate about it is if the woman was raped.

The right for a women to get an abortion or even several abortions is ultimately one of her personal freedoms. There are many different scenarios that happen that lead to an abortion and who are we to questions anyone about to get one? Its a woman's private decision and freedom and should be left that way.

In this brief article, a woman was reprimanded by her employer for breast-feeding her 3-month-old son in a Fort Brag mini-mall. Someone who was offended by the woman breast-feeding filed an anonymous complaint and a few days later the woman was told by her manager that the Army and Air Force Exchange Services, which manages military malls, has banned breast feeding. Although the employee did not want to make anyone uncomfortable or cause any further issue after her reprimand both North Carolina and federal law, allow women to breast-feed in public, even if their breast is exposed.

This was an issue 11 years ago when I was a breastfeeding mom. I had no choice but to take my 8 week old baby with me to a mandatory work meeting. I had a "cover" that is made to drape over me like a pancho. You could see nothing. Not even the baby's feet! I was asked to leave the meeting. That also came with repercussions, obviously out of my control. The mind blowing part of this entire story is my boss was a mother that had nursed her baby when he was little. Wouldn't you think she would understand more than anyone? This article is interesting to me due to the fact that there are laws in place to keep mothers from breastfeeding their children. That is outrageous! You should not feel pressured to bottle feed your child. It is a personal choice. I as a parent, had weighed out the pros and cons of both. And I made the decision to give my daughter a healthy head start. Why should we as human beings, be punished for taking proper care of our children. In my opinion, people need to find something else to complain about. And they will!

This site is informative in giving women information about their prenatal care. It educates women about the different options they have in choosing a prenatal care provider along with the options for delivering the baby. It also takes you thru what to expect in your prenatal visits and the tests that should be run in order to provide essential good quality prenatal care.

It would be smart for a pregnant women to know about the different options she has for the birth of her child. Women should seek the different specialized doctors to be educated on the healthiest way to give birth. More knowledge for the mother equals a healthier baby.

this was really cool to read I mean obviously it is important for women to understand how this all works, but I think its equally as important for the guys to read and understand that way they can be more knowledgable and be more involved in the process.

Parents used an embryo selection process to have a healthy baby that would potentially be a donor match to cure its siblings of a genetic disease. In most cases like this, the children that were created as a "savior sibling" become part of the family, but what happens to those that serve their purpose and aren't needed after that? Embryos that don't meet the donor criteria are discarded. So what happens to the children that donate and cure their siblings, can they be discarded as well (put up for adoption)?

This is a parenting website that features an article on Dr Sears and what he has to say about extended breastfeeding. It contains good facts about why breastfeeding is good for babies/kids. This would be helpful in an argument as to why we should be allowed to breastfeed in public.

This article discusses the ethics behind banking the blood from a baby's umbilical cord and using the stem cells to treat sick people.

Here is an article that deals with abortion, and babies RIGHT to life.

Breast feeding is a natural way of feeding babies. Any mom no mater the profession that they have should have the right to breast feed there children to the age they feel comfortable. Women that breast feed should also have concentration of those around them and should have the proper covering during the feeding process. Military moms or any mom should have the right to public feed there children no matter the uniform that they carry.

This article is about the government staying out of the way of a women's right to choose abortion. Clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, are under scrutiny on a daily basis. Forcing a women that does not want her unborn fetus to carry the baby to term is a far more sad and unfair situation.

Naming your child after the "Messiah" should be a parents personal & religious freedom, but a Tennessee judge is forcing a mother to change her son's name to Martin. Religious freedom is for those who choose religion and those who oppose religion. How do we find a fair and equal balance for all.

Very interesting topic. I am religious and find this to be ridiculous. I understand the judge may find it to infringe on a person's religious beliefs, but come on, seriously?! I think a parent should be able to name their kid whatever they want.

A couple should be allowed to name their child whatever they want, the court should have no say in it. A name is not breaking any laws.

Abortion is know as women's right. Constitutional have no basis for the decision, they implied right of privacy. Abortion is a way of killing. Its not the babies fault.
