Secondhand

Article description

Too tiny to see with the naked eye, the human embryo was just a hypothesis until the microscope made observation of embryonic development possible. This changed forever our view of the minuscule cluster of cells that looms large in questions about the meaning of life. This book examines how our scientific understanding of the embryo has evolved from the earliest speculations of natural philosophers to todays biological engineering, with its many prospects for life-enhancing therapies.
