 | | Practice viability in rural and remote communities is a critical aspect of ensuring the access of residents to primary medical and health care. | | | Because this analysis focuses specifically on issues relating to practice viability, only the responses of practitioners with some financial interest in the practice, beyond that from a salary or contract earnings, are included — specifically practice principals, partners or associates. | | | Free-text responses to the two questions ‘What are the key factors contributing to the viability of your practice?’ and ‘What factors would put the viability of your practice at risk?’ were analysed using qualitative content analysis. |

| | Chapter 13-Viability |
| | Accordingly, in 1869 the British changed their law, dropped the felony punishment back to conception, and the two-tier punishment policy was eliminated. | | | Can you use viability as a measure of when the baby is human and therefore has the right to live? | | | Many assume this, and there was a problem with those saved 20 years ago, but "Preterm infants of less than 1,000 gm (2 lbs.,2 oz.) do not appear to have significantly higher incidence of severe developmental abnormalities in the first 18 months of life than do 1,000 to 1,750 gm babies." |

| | Post-viability abortions |
| | There is no evidence that the embryo feels pain; there is increasing evidence of pain with increasing gestational age in the early fetal period; and by viability anyone denying that the fetus feels pain is on very shaky ground. | | | When termination of pregnancy is required prior to fetal viability, there is a choice between doing nothing and having both mother and baby die, or sacrificing the baby while trying to save the mother. | | | While there are anecdotal reports of survival at 20 weeks gestation (not well documented), a 4% survival rate in Japan at 21 weeks (2.5% in one study in US), viability at 22 weeks varies considerably by hospital and by whether babies born at this age are given the necessary medical support. |

| | A Short Introduction to Population Viability Analysis |
| | Population viability analysis is often oriented towards the conservation and management of rare and threatened species, with the goal of applying the principles of population ecology to improve their chances of survival. | | | The question is likely to change in the course of a PVA. | | | The most appropriate model structure for a population viability analysis depends on the availability of data, the essential features of the ecology of the species or metapopulation, and the kinds of questions that the managers of the population need to answer. |

| | The Court pointedly observed that while it was reasonable and convenient in 1973 to refer to the point of viability as occurring at the beginning of the third trimester, potential medical advances made the timing of viability subject to change. | | | As a result of advances in modern medicine, rarely is a woman's life directly endangered by continuing a pregnancy, although the possibility does exist. | | | Notably, the Court did not address the issue of fetal deformity and abnormality directly but rather subsumed it as one aspect of a pregnant woman's physical and mental health. |

| | Notes on seed viability |
| | The difference between the perfect germination technique for any particular genus and species, and a poor germination technique is demonstrated by the percentage of seeds that sprout using your technique. | | | Zero is a reasonable expectation because your technique may be poor, or the seed's viability may have been reduced to zero since the germination tests, either because of poor handling and exposure to heat, moisture or time, or because of "proper" handling which is incorrect for that particular seed. | | | But there are many factors which affect the viability of a seed. |

| | Why, they ask, does the fact that a fetus can survive outside the womb with the help of vast medical technology change either of the interests at war in the abortion debate: the fetus's own claim to "human-ness" and a woman's right to control her body? | | | Sonograms allow doctors to estimate the fetus's weight, which correlates with the lungs' development, and to look for signs--such as the development of functioning eyelids and creases in the skin--that coincide with the onset of a functioning respiratory system. | | | Because the point of viability varies, the court ruled, it could only be determined case by case and by the woman's own doctor. |
