and mental birth defects that can result when a
woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy. When a
pregnant woman drinks alcohol, such as beer, wine,
or mixed drinks, so does her baby. Alcohol passes

those born before 27 weeks. We are got used to
planning our life. We are so successful in doing
that, that we even expect a child to be brought by
a stork by the expected date. We define the date
plus-minus several days. Quite often our
expectations are justified and a baby enters a new
life precisely at the appointed day. However,
there are cases when the universe makes it wrong,

Alcohol Syndrome Birth Defects
855 words
Born Poisoned The most disgusting thing in this
world in my opinion, is when a pregnant woman
drinks or smokes. Women who drink during their
pregnancy dont know that alcohol can fatally harm
the unborn baby. Most of these women drink during
their pregnancy with out any knowledge of the
consequences. An estimated 40, 000 babies are born
each year in the United States with
alcohol-related birth defects. The actual figures
may be higher. (Poisoned in the womb, p. 53) The
baby can be born with a lot...

Population Growth Family Planning

he Population Growth Rate in India For many years
concern has been voiced over the seemingly

population growth. The progress which has been
achieved to date is still only of a modest nature
and should not serve as premature cause for
complacency. Moreover, a slowing of the rate of
population growth is not incompatible with a

Contemporary Literary Criticism Vol Theme Of The Book

The Themes of Slaughterhouse-Five The first theme
of Slaughterhouse-Five, and perhaps the most
obvious, is the war and its contrast with love,
beauty, humanity, innocence etc.
Slaughterhouse-Five, like Vonnegut's previous
books, manages to tell us that war is bad for us
and that it would be better for us to love one
another. To find the wars contrast with love is
quite difficult, because the book doesnt talk
about any couple that was cruelly torn apart by
the war (Billy didnt seem to love his wi...
