Arranging human creatures into age groups, infants
(0 to 1), children (2 to 8), pre-teens (9 to 12), teens (13 to 19), adults (over
19), is really based on characteristic biological processes as well as
on psychological changes.
The current classification mostly involves
physiologic processes: birth, crawling, no talk no walk; walk, speech;
puberty; from puberty to maturity, from maturity to death. Given the
geographical conditions and nurturing, the pace of child development may
differ.
Note the prenatal stage of fetus (-0,9 to
0), started by conception of human creature, from embryo to fetus to
newborn, should have the same legal status as other stages of human development.
That means abortion, in a sense, is a sort of killing of a human
being by a human being.

Subject: [ontolog-forum] An Ontology
Modeling Different Age Groups
Hello
all,
I am trying to
find an ontology/terminology which models different age groups of a person:
infant, teenage, adult etc. I looked at SNOMED-CT, and noticed how a "Person"
is categorized by age, but didn't really understand how "age" is associated --
for example, is an 18-year old considered a "pre-teen"?
I would appreciate
your inputs.
Thanks,
-
Jyoti
