| Conception andPre-birth | Teratogens are substances, including drugs, that cause malformations in the fetus (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010, p.54). For example, in chapter 2 the authors state that teratogens are drugs that affect biological development by causing malformations of body parts and organs. Newborn children of drug addicts, for instance, experience a number of potential developmental problems such as low birth weight, muscle tremors, and physical birth defects (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010, p.54).In-vitro fertilization Zygote | N/A | N/A |
