Finding Paragraph #1

The lack of knowledge is the lack of power, and the lack of understanding is ignorance. Should you allow your ignorance to get in the way of your child's mental and physical health-- their future? This inferences has caused me to inquire more question. Query like, why do people drink while their pregnant, what are the consequences of drinking while your pregnant, and lastly is the affects of alcohol worst than the affects of  drugs or stress?  A baby is not completely developed within the womb until its nine months old; therefore, if you drink while pregnant you increase the chance for your baby not surviving or having birth defects. (Birth. au) When you drink you open up the possibilities of your child having Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD). FASD is an illness  that causes neurological and mental effects that range in severity (American Pregnancy Association). This reoccurring epidemic is something that needs to be addressed -- now! There is actually someone who has chosen to publicize his life, displaying his FASD. His name is  Iyal; because he was born with birth defects, he has various and frequent outbursts. He appears normal but he is not and he never will be. Through out this story his little sister describes all of his mental disabilities. Now if his mother would not have drink while she was pregnant, she could have prevented all of his short comings (Morasha R. Winokur). Do you want the same life for your child?
