10. Comments:

This is nothing but an act of motherly affection. Though i disagree that this just like donating a kidney but still considering the situation i must say there is nothing wrong with this.The genealogical bewilderment of that child can be the only bottleneck in this case but i think with proper counseling and support from the family this problem can be taken care off.


HAPPY TO HELP

[Chocolate]

I helped too

[.HellzPori.]

alright. abinosshor! you were my 20th man . thank youuu!
thanks to you too Chocolate jiii .

now, time for the correct answers.

1. a
2. b
3. a
4. b
5. a
6. a
7. d
8. will vary
9. b
10. obviously it's an opinion question, so no correct answers!

now a brief summary of Turner syndrome in case anyone wants to know (you could always Google, by the way).
firstly when someone has Turner's syndrome, they are usually unable to conceive a child. it happens only to females. it's been researched and said that it's a genetic disorder but no one actually knows why the genes (chromosomes) have abnormalities. however, girls and women with Turner syndrome can live happy and full lives. they have normal intelligence like other people except for a few who have learning disabilities and only 5% of them reach a normal height.

some problems that may occur due to this disorder:
- ovaries do not develop
- abnormal shape of the palate in the mouth
- ear infections
- a fold of skin b/w the shoulder and the neck
- breasts do not develop
- some differences in fingernails and elbows
- heart, kidney, hormonal and skeletal problems

there is no cure for Turner syndrome but there are some hormone treatments that can be done to help a woman to develop bones, sexual characteristics and grow taller. medicine and medical procedures may also help a woman conceive a child.
this syndrome can also affect personality in many ways (look at #7).

and basically that was a summary of the basics of this disorder. i hope you all learnt something today.
before, i got this assignment i didn't know anything about it ... but now i kinda do hehe.

anyway ... i'd like to thank all of you who came out to help again .

p.s. Mods can close this thread if they like.
