DOES MEDICAL ABORTION REQUIRE SPOUSE APPROVAL?

Real life Case scenario: 35 year old woman pregnant at 14 weeks gestation (3 months) is diagnosed with aortic aneurysm and medical abortion is recommended by obstetrician (due to stress of the pregnancy put on heart and blood vessels making risk of death from rupture imminent),woman refuses to consent decided to carry to term with support of mother in-law with husband threatening her that he will get second wife if she can't give him children despite already having 5 children between them.3 months later woman dies taking with her the fetus(baby) as the aneurysm ruptures and she bleeding out in minutes.Fast forward a year later husband marries a new wife on context of remaining children needing a mother figure and his companionship.

Moral of the case: according to the abortion act of 1972 ,it doesn't have provision for spouse approval for termination of pregnancy,the decision is between the pregnant woman and the medical doctor.Hence you don't need consent from your husband to be allowed to do so.Guard your life as you can easily be replaced once you are gone.

WHY STUDYING UNDER PRESSURE BEFORE AN EXAM MAKES UNDERSTANDING EASY

Activation of Stress Hormones (Adrenaline & Cortisol)

When you are under pressure, your body releases adrenaline and a small controlled amount of cortisol.
These hormones:

-Increase alertness

-Sharpen focus

-Improve attention

-Enhance short-term memory

This “fight-or-flight” activation temporarily boosts cognitive performance, making it feel like you understand things quickly but remember it is temporarily and information rarely kept long-term memory (data pa retina).

ASSISTED SU***DE vs ETHUNASIA

Assisted su***de

The patient ends their own life, but with help from a medical doctor provides who provides the lethal drugs.The final act is done by the patient themselves also called physician-assisted su***de.

Euthanasia

A medical doctor ends the patient’s life to relieve suffering.The final act is done by the doctor.Can be voluntary(on patients request) or non-voluntary(doctor or patient relatives decide on it) .

Legal implications

Illegal in most countries carrying criminal charges like murder or man slaughter to all parties involved.In countries where it is legal like USA and Switzerland strict guidelines are followed making sure all medical ethics are followed.

Religion

In Christian faith the bible prohibits both practices supported by "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.” — Job 1:21 and “You shall not kill.” — Exodus 20:13 among many bible verses.

Life and death are seen as God’s authority, not human decision.

Should ethunasia and assisted su***de be introduced today in Zambia,are u you sticking to your beliefs or follow the new law?

-Abortion -

Abortion in Zambia is regulated by the Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1972.

The law allows abortion when continuing the pregnancy poses a risk to the woman’s life, physical health, or mental health.

It also permits abortion if the pregnancy would harm the physical or mental health of the woman’s existing children.

Another legal ground is when there is a substantial risk that the baby would be born with serious physical or mental abnormalities.

For an abortion to be lawful, it must be approved by three registered medical practitioners.

One of the three doctors must be a specialist in the field relevant to the woman’s condition.

The procedure must be performed in a hospital or approved medical institution.

A doctor may refuse to perform an abortion based on conscience or religious beliefs (conscientious objection).

However, this refusal does not apply when the abortion is necessary to save the woman’s life or prevent grave permanent injury.

Performing or undergoing an abortion outside these legal requirements is considered illegal and carries criminal penalties

What is your religion saying on abortion? Do your beliefs permit you do an abortion on a woman as a medical doctor?

Zambian law on unclaimed bodies

If someone dies in Zambia and nobody claims the body (or no one is legally responsible comes forward) after public notification of unclaimed bodies is made which is usually a 14 day period , then under the Public Health Act of 1930,the body can lawfully be removed and buried by the local authority, on the certificate of a medical practitioner and order of a magistrate or police officer. However if the body is infectious , permission to bury it within 24hrs can be granted.The local authority pays the cost initially but can seek to recover such costs later from anyone legally liable(anyone who later claims body after burial).

on your relatives ,especially males
