Life Focus "Who's the boss?" by Lil Bôwering and Cheri Davies PART 2: Who's the Boss? ' 'The child that has been conceived conceived but has not been born is a reality - that must be taken into account. It is not an inanimate object nor the property of anyone, but a living human entity distinct from the mother...and has the right to life and protection from those who conceived conceived it." These are the words of Mr. Justice Yves Bernier, chairman of the five-judge panel,Quebec Court of Appearl decision in the recent Chantal Daigle case. Medical understanding of foetal development development confirms this. Once the developing baby has implanted implanted himself in the wall of the uterus, he is immediately faced with several pressing problems.. Firstly, how does he let mother know she's pregnant? In part by producing a hormone which stops mother's next menstrual period. The baby is actually actually an alien in his mother's body yet somehow solves the problem of possible attack by her immune system. It is the baby who determines the length of pregnancy and who decides which way he will lie most comfortably in the womb and proceed proceed in labour. Mother's movements, Braxton-Hicks contractions contractions and medical examinations all disturb the baby and may provoke provoke him to seek a new position of comfort. Foetal comfort determines foetal position even if this position makes it difficult or impossible for vaginal delivery. The onset of labour is also decided by the baby. What we're dealing with, you see, is not a mindless, fragile, nerveless vegetable but a young human being who is energetic, forceful, constantly constantly changing and growing. Who's the boss in a pregnancy? Clearly, baby is. Whether his conception conception in planned or not doesn't change the fact that he is in full command of his environment and with determination strives to reach that goal of birth.
