A legal definition states: "Nonviable means not capable of living, growing, or developing and functioning successfully. It is the antithesis of viable, which is defined as having attained such form and development of organs as to be normally capable of living outside the uterus." [Wolfe v. Isbell, 291 Ala. 327, 329 (Ala. 1973)] [9]
Viability selection, the selection of individual organisms who can survive until they are able to reproduce; Fetal viability, the ability of a fetus to survive outside of the uterus
Fetal abnormalities are conditions that affect a fetus or embryo, are able to be diagnosed prenatally, and may be fatal or cause disease after birth.They may include aneuploidies, structural abnormalities, or neoplasms.
Overview tab The WHO uses the ICD-10 definitions of "late fetal deaths" as their definition of stillbirth. [18] Other organisations recommend that any combination of greater than 16, 20, 22, 24 or 28 weeks gestational age or 350 g, 400 g, 500 g or 1000 g birth weight may be considered a stillbirth.
Genetic viability is the ability of the genes present to allow a cell, organism or population to survive and reproduce. [1] [2] The term is generally used to mean the chance or ability of a population to avoid the problems of inbreeding. [1]
A nonviable pregnancy is one in which the fetus is diagnosed with a condition or anomaly that will lead to their death, either in utero or shortly after birth.
Genetic incompatibility describes the process by which mating yields offspring that are nonviable, prone to disease, or genetically defective in some way. In nature, animals can ill afford to devote costly resources for little or no reward, ergo, mating strategies have evolved to allow females to choose or otherwise determine mates which are more likely to result in viable offspring.
Likewise, bills filed this session to add rape, incest and nonviable pregnancy exceptions to Kentucky’s abortion bans — one by a Republican, the other by a Democrat — were never heard nor ...
