Download or read book Inconceivable written by Carolyn Savage and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A medical mistake during an IVF procedure. An unthinkable situation . . . you’re pregnant with the wrong baby. You can terminate, but you can’t keep him. What choice would you make? Carolyn and Sean Savage had been trying to expand their family for years. When they underwent an IVF transfer in February 2009, they knew it would be their last chance. If they became pregnant, they would celebrate the baby as an answer to their prayers. If not, they would be grateful for the family they had and leave their fertility struggles behind forever. They never imagined a third option. The pregnancy test was positive, but the clinic had transferred the wrong embryos. Carolyn was pregnant with someone else’s baby. The Savages faced a series of heartbreaking decisions: terminate the pregnancy, sue for custody, or hand over the infant to his genetic parents upon delivery. Knowing that Carolyn was carrying another couple’s hope for a baby, the Savages wanted to do what they prayed the other family would do for them if the situation was reversed. Sean and Carolyn Savage decided to give the ultimate gift, the gift of life, to a family they didn’t know, no strings attached. Inconceivable provides an inside look at how modern medicine, which creates miracles daily, could allow such a tragic mistake, and the many legal ramifications that ensued with both the genetic family and the clinic. Chronicling their tumultuous pregnancy and its aftermath, which tested the Savage’s faith, their relationship to their church, and their marriage, Inconceivable is ultimately a testament to love. Carolyn and Sean loved this baby, making it impossible for them to imagine how they could give him life and then give him away. In the end, Inconceivable is a story of what it is to be a parent, someone who nurtures a life, protects a soul, only to release that child into the world long before you’re ready to let him go.
Download or read book The Inconceivable Life of Quinn written by Marianna Baer and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling YA story with a magical realism twist about a girl whose pregnancy shocks everyone . . . most of all her Quinn Cutler is sixteen, the daughter of a candidate for congress in Brooklyn, and a student at a private school in Park Slope. She’s also pregnant, a situation made infinitely more shocking by the fact that she has no memory of actually having sex. Scared and confused, Quinn struggles to piece together what might have happened: An unlikely accident while she and her boyfriend were fooling around? A rape that she’s repressing from trauma? Before she’s had any revelations, the situation becomes public, putting her most intimate life up for scrutiny and ridicule, and jeopardizing her father’s political career. Religious fanatics begin gathering at the Cutlers’ house, believing she’s pregnant with the next Messiah. As things spiral out of control through a frenzy of brutal online gossip and rumor, the clues that Quinn uncovers reveal more about her childhood and her family than about the pregnancy itself. She starts to realize that much of her life is built on secrets and lies—strange, possibly supernatural ones that her father is desperate to keep concealed. And uncovering the mysterious secrets is the only way she’ll learn the truth about her pregnancy, and the only way she’ll discover why, despite all evidence and logic, a deep down part of her believes the truth isn’t an ugly one. Might she, in fact, be a virgin?
Download or read book Inconceivable 20th Anniversary Edition written by Julia Indichova and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2002-02-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir of hope for the thousands of women struggling with infertility, from one who beat the odds by simply tuning in to her body and tapping her well of sheer determination. At a time when more and more women are trying to get pregnant at increasingly advanced ages, fertility specialists and homeopathic researchers boast endless treatment options. But when Julia Indichova made the rounds of medical doctors and nontraditional healers, she was still unable to conceive a child. It was only when she forsook their financially and emotionally draining advice, turning inward instead, that she finally met with reproductive success. Inconceivable recounts this journey from hopeless diagnoses to elated motherhood. Anyone who has faced infertility will relate to Julia’s desperate measures: acupuncture, unidentifiable black-and-white pellets, herb soup, foul-smelling fruit, even making love on red sheets. Five reproductive endocrinologists told her that there was no documented case of anyone in her hormonal condition getting pregnant, forcing her to finally embark on her own intuitive regimen. After eight caffeine-free, nutrient-rich, yoga-laden months, complemented by visualization exercises, Julia received amazing news; incredibly, she was pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to a healthy girl. Unlike the many infertility books that take a clinical “how to” approach, Inconceivable simply professes the wisdom of giving expert status back to the patient. Julia’s self-discovery, and her ability to see her body as an ally once again, yield a beautiful message about the importance of honoring the body’s innate powers, and the power of life itself.

James, California’s premier trauma psychiatrist, offers counsel under the guise of faith. And a philosophy student embarks on an existential quest to make sense of it all. Felicity and James both bear the marks of Theresa’s prior deeds: one spiraled into a psychiatric facility, the other left emotionally scarred. As she resurfaces, the insidious thread of madness she brings stretches to its breaking point, forcing everyone into a desperate search for truth. But Theresa has been killed before, and she’s willing to kill again. Can Felicity and James untangle this web of insanity in time? What hidden secrets and obsessions haunt these doctors and their patients? Inconceivable is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the corrosive power of obsession, the maze of paranoia, and the elusive nature of free will.

Download or read book Inconceivable Effects written by Martin Blumenthal-Barby and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Inconceivable Effects, Martin Blumenthal-Barby reads theoretical, literary and cinematic works that appear noteworthy for the ethical questions they raise. Via critical analysis of writers and filmmakers whose projects have changed our ways of viewing the modern world—including Hannah Arendt, Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, the directors of Germany in Autumn, and Heiner Müller—these essays furnish a cultural base for contemporary discussions of totalitarian domination, lying and politics, the relation between law and body, the relation between law and justice, the question of violence, and our ways of conceptualizing "the human." A consideration of ethics is central to the book, but ethics in a general, philosophical sense is not the primary subject here; instead, Blumenthal-Barby suggests that whatever understanding of the ethical one has is always contingent upon a particular mode of presentation (Darstellung), on particular aesthetic qualities and features of media. Whatever there is to be said about ethics, it is always bound to certain forms of saying, certain ways of telling, certain modes of narration. That modes of presentation differ across genres and media goes without saying; that such differences are intimately linked with the question of the ethical emerges with heightened urgency in this book.
Download or read book Inconceivable written by Shannon Woodward and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women who are anxious to conceive -- and who have yet to conceive -- know about waiting. Waiting is the hallmark of infertility. You wait in doctor's offices. You wait to ovulate. You wait for prescriptions to be filled. You wait for the pregnancy test indicator to light up. You wait for a miracle, and then you wait again. Inconceivable is the remarkable true-life story of Shannon Woodward -- a woman who stopped waiting her life away. She wrote this book for other women who've been waiting -- for women who can't afford the next round of medical treatments, who can't bear to let their feeble hopes rise again only to have them crash to the ground in disappointment. Woodward revisits eighteen years of personal frustration, pain, and anger. She speaks of healing, but not the kind that other women in her condition have prayed for. The healing she has experienced is the healing of walking another path -- the path of peace that she is uniquely equipped to share. Features and Benefits Helps women come to terms with infertility and find peace with this diagnosis. Written by an author who has experienced the reality of infertility having tried to conceive for eighteen years. Painfully honest and unflinchingly real, Shannon Woodward opens the pages of her life to readers who will identify with the ache of unfilled desires and who will find relief and healing in her journey.

Book excerpt: Celebrating the 50th volume of the landmark Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality series, this book offers a much-needed analysis of shifting reproductive policies and practices in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a society that is usually represented as either “revolutionary” or “oppressive.” Instead, Tremayne reflects on more than four decades of research arguing that changing reproductive behaviors on the part of ordinary Iranians must always be viewed against the backdrop of core cultural values and traditions, which are often reinforced, instead of radically altered, by new reproductive technologies, juridical opinions, and state policies.
Download or read book Inconceivable Conceptions written by Jane Haynes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is over two decades since the first test-tube baby was born. During this period a new belief that all infertile women can now have babies has become widely accepted; indeed, infertile couples may feel great pressure to seek a medical solution. However, the psychological and social effects of the changing experiences of infertility remain confusing, both for those who experience infertility and for wider society. In this book, a distinguished range of contributors, including novelist Hilary Mantel and Germaine Greer, examine the experience of infertility from both male and female perspectives, the psychological aspects of infertility diagnosis and treatment, and the often radical and unexpected effects on kinship. Drawing from a wide range of theoretical backgrounds including Jungian, analytical, and compelling personal reflections, this book aims to unravel the implications of advancing reproductive technology for our understanding of ourselves and our families.

Download or read book Reality The Inconceivable Truth written by Michael Duncan and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books aim is to impart the ultimate purpose of human existence, and that goal is called self-realization. "... it is to restore our lost connection with our divine friend, who is, and has always been, situated within the core of our hearts. The conscious effort of reviving one's relationship with the Lord's localized feature is also known as the dovetailing process". The author, Mike Duncan, seeks to imbue to his readers a taste of the stunning truth about God; a taste, said to be so sweet, that it is sure to motivate the sincere truth seeking soul to investigate the eternal transcendental science by which one can come to know everything about Him. The author concludes that this science of self-realization, established personally by God, is the eternally approved method of approching Him. It is the only means by which one can rise above the illusory bodily conception of life, to the spiritual platform, the platform of reality on which everything is known. In the present degraded age of Kali, the age of quarrel, there is a special potency which is available to persons who accept the descending spiritual authority. His Divine Grace, Srila Prabhupada is the latest descendant from the spiritual world who is authorized by the Lord to present Him to the inhabitants of this mortal world. His Grace is instructing as follows: "One who is ignorant of the scientific knowledge of the soul does not look inside the body to find happiness in the soul. The living being, covered by the material body, does not see the happiness within himself, but runs after happiness in the material world. When one understands his real identity as spiritual being, he can understand the supreme spiritual being, Krishna, and the real happiness exchanged between Krishna and one's self" (SB, 7-13-29).

Download or read book The Inconceivable Idea of the Sun written by Anil Menon and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2022-06-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It was customary, it seems, for an author to begin with excuses, explanations and snivels about their work. Which is quite peculiar since the author is usually the last person to know what their book is about...' Right from the wickedly funny table of contents, which belongs not to this collection but an imagined one, this remarkable genre-defying volume is guaranteed to delight the reader in the mood for something original and different. In the title story, 'The Inconceivable Idea of the Sun', a couple finds that reorganizing their home library has an unexpected consequence on their shared reality; 'The Robots of Eden' is set in a world where stories are no longer essential to be human, because civilized people have developed better technology to mediate their emotions; in 'Into the Night', an old Brahmin leans into the comforts of an ancient language when the future renders him obsolete; and 'How Not to Tell The Ramayana' is a Borgesian journey into a Ramayana retelling unlike any other. This stellar collection of short fiction, as poignant as it is playful, blurs the distinction between what lies inside a story and what lies outside it. It demonstrates yet again why Anil Menon is one of the most formidable names in contemporary Indian writing.
