Freud felt that when girls discovered they lacked a penis, they would fear and envy those possessing one(men), accepting their inferior status because of this deficiency. An alternative interpretation might propose that men envy women their ability to create and nurture life within their bodies; therefore men both fear and envy women, and see themselves as inferior to women as a result(see womb envy). 2, record 1, English, - womb%20envy

A contraceptive implant is a device that is put under the skin in order to offer you an even dose of contraception without you having to take a daily pill... The progestogen hormone in the implant is called etonogestrel. It is released into the bloodstream at a slow, steady rate. The progestogen works mainly by stopping the release of the egg from the ovary(ovulation). It also thickens the mucus which forms a mucous plug in the neck of the womb(cervix). 3, record 11, English, - contraceptive%20implant

La adopción de embriones [...] se refiere al hecho de que un matrimonio o incluso una mujer sola, adopten voluntariamente a uno o más embriones cuya madre genética no puede o no quiere acogerlos en su seno. Normalmente se trata de embriones producidos en laboratorio con las técnicas de fecundación artificial y congelados temporalmente en la espera de darles un destino definitivo. La madre adoptiva accede a que los embriones, una vez descongelados, sean depositados en su útero con la esperanza de que aniden en él y puedan seguir adelante en su desarrollo natural hasta el nacimiento. 3, record 15, Spanish, - adopci%C3%B3n%20de%20embri%C3%B3n

Hapnotomy is the science of affectivity and touch; it reaches to the core of what it means to be human. Touch, the first sense, carrying the freight of intention, emotion and thought, is the stuff from which a baby builds a basic sense of safety, trust, and confidence. Haptonomy is especially pertinent to how mothers and fathers relate to babies in the womb and how obstetricians relate to babies at birth. 4, record 17, English, - haptonomy
