The Impairment Argument's Coup de Grâce.
Bioethics
January 2025
Department of Philosophy, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA.
According to Hendricks Impairment Argument (IA), abortion is immoral because it impairs the fetus. Here, I argue it is not sufficient to show merely that abortion impairs, Hendricks must show that it harms the fetus. If the fetus is not numerically identical to the person it will become, then it isn't harmed by an abortion.

Background: Rates of prenatal alcohol use in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are increasing despite regulatory bodies urging pregnant women to abstain from alcohol. Tanzania has minimal policies, interventions, and educational programs addressing prenatal alcohol exposure. Consequently, a considerable number of mothers and their fetuses are exposed to alcohol, leading to serious health consequences like fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).

Background: Overweight and obesity-chronic illnesses in which an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences-negatively impact female fertility. Adverse conception outcomes are multifactorial, ranging from poor oocyte quality and implantation issues to miscarriages and fetal health issues. However, with the advent of novel pharmacologic agents, significant weight loss can be achieved, improving the chances of healthy pregnancies, and their use should be considered during periconceptual counseling.

Introduction: Alcohol use during pregnancy is a significant public health concern due to its adverse outcomes for the mother and developing fetus. This study aims to estimate the national and state-wise prevalence of alcohol use during pregnancy in India and examine associated social, demographic and health-related correlates using data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) conducted in 2019-2020.
Methods: Data from NFHS-5, a large-scale, nationally representative survey, were analysed.
Hydrogel-forming microarray patches combined with powder-based reservoir for labetalol hydrochloride transdermal delivery.
Int J Pharm
January 2025
School of Pharmacy, Queen's University Belfast, Medical Biology Centre, 97 Lisburn Road, Belfast BT9 7BL, UK. Electronic address:
Hypertension is the most common pregnancy disorder and can lead to life-threatening conditions for both mother and fetus. However, managing this condition with oral and intravenous labetalol can be challenging, highlighting the need for alternative delivery methods. This study presents, for the first time, the development of novel powder-based reservoirs incorporated with hydrogel-forming microarray patches (MAPs) to facilitate the transdermal delivery of labetalol hydrochloride (HCl).
