	fetus - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		fetus term used to describe the unborn offspring in the uterus of vertebrate animals after the embryonic stage (see embryo).
		If the fetus is expelled before 36 weeks of gestation are completed, it often can survive outside the womb, but artificial assistance, such as intravenous feedings and strict maintainance of the ambient temperature, may be needed during the remainder of its normal developmental period.
		Genug ist genug: a fetus is not a kidney.

	Fetus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the fetus, there is an opening between the right and left atrium (the foramen ovale), and most of the blood flows from the right into the left atrium, thus bypassing pulmonary circulation.
		A developing fetus is highly susceptible to anomalies in its growth and metabolism, increasing the risk of birth defects.
		The word fetus originates from the Latin fetus meaning "offspring," "act of bearing young," or "is or was filled with young".

	Fetus or Newborn Problems: Labor and Delivery Complications: Merck Manual Home Edition
		If the fetus is in a different position or presentation, labor may be more difficult and delivery through the vagina may not be possible.
		Normally, the position of a fetus is facing rearward (toward the woman's back) with the face and body angled to one side and the neck flexed, and presentation is head first.
		When a fetus faces up (an abnormal position), the neck is often straightened rather than bent, and the head requires more space to pass through the birth canal.

	CNN.com - Judge rules against appointing guardian for fetus - May. 30, 2003
		In a court filing, Wixtrom told the judge a guardian was needed "to ensure the safety, well-being, health and proper pre-natal care for the fetus" and added, "a guardian must be appointed as the unborn child may be placed in immediate danger and in life-threatening situations unless his or her interest are protected."
		The woman's mother, however, said she had been told by doctors early on that pregnancy could be life-threatening to her daughter, who became disabled from bacterial meningitis when she was 3 weeks old, the AP reported.
		Detectives from the Miami-Dade Police Department secured a sample from the fetus to be used as evidence in the determination of paternity in their rape investigation.

	CNN.com - Conflicts arise over rights of pregnant retarded woman and fetus - Aug. 29, 2003
		The fetus is believed to be the result of the rape of a severely retarded 22-year-old woman, who police say has the mental capacity of a 1-year-old.
		If a pregnant woman's actions can be circumscribed by the needs of her fetus, then it is difficult to imagine no severe restrictions on a deliberate decision to deprive the fetus of life.
		Having invited the fetus into her body, where it consequently depends on her for life, the argument goes, she should not be able to order it to leave and face death.

	Howstuffworks "How A Fetus Grows"
		The journey of the fetus through pregnancy is a complex and fascinating miracle that scientists have broken into three phases -- the three trimesters that represent a nine-month pregnancy.
		The fetus metamorphoses from an embryo of multiplying cells into a being with organs and muscles that is ready for life outside the womb.
		The fetus is two to three inches long and weighs less than one ounce by the end of the third month, at which point it begins to make breathing movements, and the intestinal and skeletal muscles begin to work and respond to local pressure.

	The Legal Status of the Fetus: Implications for Medical Personnel
		To the extent that a fetus is considered a "person" under the law, it may have legal rights that may be used to restrict the mother's rights.
		These courts have recognized that the fetus is not a person and that homicide and child abuse statutes never were intended to apply to a pregnant woman's behavior.
		Treating the fetus as a legal entity separate from the pregnant woman creates the potential for an adversarial relationship between the woman's health needs and those of her developing fetus and further confuses the issues of the health care provider's duty to his or her "patient," including the duty to obtain informed consent.

	From the National Right to Life Committee
		Tuesday, the Associated Press bureau in Washington sent out a dispatch that began, "The House voted Tuesday to define a fetus that is fully outside a woman's body as having been 'born alive,' which would give the fetus full legal protection." The term "fetus" was employed repeatedly throughout the rest of the dispatch.
		Jessen was still a "fetus" even as she was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and as medical personnel struggled successfully to save her life.
		WASHINGTON - A fetus outside a woman's body that has a heartbeat or is breathing on its own would be considered "born alive" and given legal protection under a bill approved by the House.

	What Effect Does Gestational Diabetes Have on the Fetus?
		The key to avoiding problems in the fetus is to control blood glucose levels as soon as a woman knows she has gestational diabetes.
		If the fetus grows too large, it cannot be delivered vaginally and the woman may be forced to undergo a cesarean delivery.
		This occurs when high glucose levels in the mother cause the fetus to produce excess insulin, which may still be present at birth.

		In vanishing twin syndrome, there may be complete reabsorption of a fetus, formation of a fetus papyraceus (ie, a "mummified" or compressed fetus), or development of a subtle abnormality on the placenta such as a cyst, subchorionic fibrin, or amorphous material.
		Second and third trimesters: Maternal complications include premature labor, infection from a retained fetus, severe puerperal hemorrhage, consumptive coagulopathy, and obstruction of labor by a low-lying fetus papyraceus causing dystocia and leading to a cesarean delivery.
		A viable fetus with normal chromosomes may be supported by the placenta of a vanished twin with abnormal chromosomes.

		The cardiac development of the affected twin is impaired by the reversal of the flow in its heart.
		This stunts the growth of the affected fetus, and as the host grows it progressively embeds the smaller twin around the third week.
		That argument is probably not valid since in abdominocyesis the antigen complements of the host and fetus are different, which contrasts with fetuses in fetu.
