Just this one I need help with:
Â
Studies have shown that maternal exposure to various environmental contaminants contributes to congenital defects. For example, exposure to air pollution can contribute to childhood asthma OR exposure to chronic low to moderate or acute high levels of radiation can contribute to stunted growth, deformities, cancer, or abnormal brain function. Pregnant women are at an increased risk for these hazards, but can be exposed even in cases when they cannot help it (e.g. living in an urban environment with air pollution).
a. What types of precautions can pregnant women take in order to ensure a healthy baby?
b. If women do not take these precautions, would this be considered a form of child abuse? Why or why not?
c. Who is ultimately responsible for these congenital outcomes (e.g. government, the woman, the husband?) Explain.
