Infant Mortality: Current Situation
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. With the ongoing technological advancements in the medical field, it is difficult to believe that infant mortality is still so prevalent in today's society. However, it is this very technology that provides the opportunity to avert infant death that is being overlooked as a means by which to address the issue. Statistics indicate that infant mortality is primarily a socio-cultural epidemic, in that appropriate medical attention is gravely lacking in low-income and minority communities. Genetic disturbance represents yet another population in which infant mortality is experienced, no matter the individual's race or financial status. Genetically induced infant mortality is often not detected until well into the third trimester, a point at which termination of pregnancy is both a health risk for the mother and a morally painful decision to make.
