RJA 2C: Research Topic Focus

One argument against musical and emotional stimulants could be that at 17 weeks the fetus is too underdeveloped to distinguish emotion and music from its rapid growth.  This could be applied throughout the pregnancy as well.  An argument could be that only nutrition and outside stimulants such as tobacco, alcohol, and drugs can affect the unborn child.

If a mother were to listen to harsh styles of music such as grunge and heavy metal it could have an equally damaging affect.  Music with fast beats could affect the heart in a negative way, causing the fetus's heartbeat to speed up to match the beat.  Positive thinking could give the fetus an altered sense of reality because it would get in the way of normal mood fluctuation.  These arguments can be easily addressed from what I have researched so far.
