This book brings together an international collection of experts in reproductive ethics, law, disability studies, and medicine to explore the challenging future of reproduction and children. From the medical to the social and from the financial to the legal, the authors explore the expanding impact of reproductive genetics on our society. New advances in genetic technologies are revolutionizing the practice of reproductive medicine. We have expanded our ability to detect genetic changes in embryos and fetuses in ways that potentially allow to identify, treat, or prevent a growing range of diseases. The development of gene-editing technologies raises questions about the possibility of removing disease-causing variants from embryos before pregnancy implantation. The growing sophistication of prenatal genomic sequencing offers us glimpses into the whole genome of the developing fetus. And, the increasingly sophisticated science of 'gene matching' allows us greater and greater foreknowledge of how the genomes of two individuals will combine in a future child. This is an indispensable book on the newest developments in bioethics caused by the sciences.Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Midlife is the stage in the life of a human being between young adulthood and the onset of old age. It is generally assumed to fall in the bracket of 45 to 65 years of age. This period is characterized by the slowing down of the boy, sensitivity to diet, stress and substance abuse. During midlife, several health conditions may develop like fibroids, migraine and systemic lupus erythematosus. This makes midlife a period warranting attention for gynecologic and hormone-sensitive conditions. Women further experience menopause around the age of 50, which ends their fertility. Over the past decades, studies have advanced the understanding of ovarian aging and its relationship to cardiovascular, bone, cognitive and musculoskeletal health. Signs of aging may become prominent and more rapid in women with osteoporosis. Decline in physical fitness such as reduction in aerobic performance and decrease in maximal heart rate, as well as changes in the skin occur in midlife. Healthy behavior, in particular the maintenance of healthy body weight and physical activity can moderate certain negative changes. Therefore, this period constitutes a critical period for optimizing health and functioning, and preventing chronic diseases. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about women's midlife health and wellness. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It is a vital tool for all researching or studying women's health as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of decision-making for midwives. Each chapter presents examples that show how the theory applies to practice and includes activities to reinforce learning points.

Describes how nursing professionals can mitigate the maternal health crisis through advocacy and improved practice.This graduate-level nursing text and professional clinical reference is the first to comprehensively address the escalating crisis in U.S. maternal health-our country experiences the highest maternal mortality among developed nations-and provides strategies and roadmaps for improved outcomes. It challenges the current approach to ameliorating the maternal crisis, which embeds maternal care into "child health" and "women's health," and characterizes maternal health as a distinct, contemporary epidemiological crisis in America. At its heart, the book calls for the application of nursing knowledge and skill in advocating for and changing practices.The text examines the social determinants responsible for the crisis, including structural and systemic economic and political forces, declining accessibility to maternal care, and lack of a national effort to improve maternal health. With a strong public focus, the book engages readers through narratives and interactive critical thinking exercises in analyzing the problem and related structural and systemic barriers. It offers guidelines for advocacy and improved practice while fostering creative thinking by which readers can imagine their own solutions. Specific issues addressed include the current status of health care delivery, the public health safety net, practice-policy initiatives, specific sociocultural factors contributing to enhanced risk, myths and impugning attitudes about childbearing women, the life-long impact of maternal health neglect, and the contribution of nursing to advocacy, prevention, and improved practice.Key Features:Synthesizes key data on the maternal health crisis in America focusing on nursing leadership and contributionsUnderscores the need for a collaborative public health nursing perspective in addressing the maternal health crisisExamines social determinants responsible for the crisisPresents exercises and narratives for advocacy and improved practiceSpotlights maternal health as a specific entityIncludes learning objectives, expert opinions, key questions to guide critical thinking, brief summary, and references in each chapter
