Assignment:

If a mother gives her child drugs or alcohol, she is likely to be charged with neglect or child abuse. Should the same charges apply to pregnant women who ingest drugs or alcohol? Why or why not? Consider your answer in the context of what you learned about the effects of teratogens on fetal development, and how early development (brain, perception, and motor) can influence later development.

Also consider that there are different ways in which pregnant women can deliver teratogens to their fetuses (e.g., intentionally while knowing that she is pregnant, accidentally while knowing that she is pregnant, accidentally without knowing that she is pregnant) Although the starting place for your answer may be opinion based, you must provide support for your answer based on the information you've learned in this unit.
