Quotes About Embryo

Is it or is it not ethical to create an embryo, and to create a person for the purpose of getting an organ to give to someone else? Your knee-jerk reaction is 'absolutely not;' but you need the ethical analysis of that to show why and how that is something that you need to stay away from.
~ Anthony Fauci
Defenders of the morality of abortion are usually defenders of early abortion: abortion of the embryo or of a fetus well before it is viable outside the womb, usually in the first trimester. That is, they are defenders of the morality of removing from a mother a group of cells that is not an independent, viable, and recognizable human being. Opponents
~ George Lakoff
During its development the animal passes through all stages of the animal kingdom. The foetus is a representation of all animal classes in time.
~ Lorenz Oken
hot vit lon, a local favorite, a duck embryo boiled and served inside the shell—
~ Mark Bowden
Hay que añadir que los hombres más respetuosos con al vida embrionaria son también lo que más prontos se muestran cuando se trata de condenar adultos a una muerte militar.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
The root J-N-N has so many derivatives. Jannah, paradise, is the hidden garden. Majnoon is a crazy person whose intellect has been hidden. My favorite, though, is janin. The embryo hidden inside the mother. The jinn are not gone from our world, you see. They've just donned new clothes.
~ Ellen Datlow
There is, for example, the hoary problem why the skin on the soles of our feet is so much thicker than elsewhere. If the thickening occurred after birth as a result of stress, wear and tear, there would be no problem. But the skin of the sole is already thickened in the embryo which has never walked, bare-foot or otherwise.
~ Arthur Koestler
Destruction of the embryo in the mother's womb is a violation of the right to live which God has bestowed upon this nascent life. To raise the question whether we are here concerned already with a human being or not is merely to confuse the issue. The simple fact is that God certainly intended to create a human being and that this nascent human being has been deliberately deprived of his life. And that is nothing but murder.
~ Eric Metaxas
because the great beauty of embryo development, the bit that human beings find so hard to grasp, is that it is a totally decentralised process...no cell need wait for instructions from authority; every cell can act on its own information and the signals it receives from its neighbours. We do not organise societies that way...Perhaps we should try.
~ Matt Ridley
A Dialogue between two Infants in the womb concerning the state of this world, might handsomely illustrate our ignorance of the next, whereof methinks we yet discourse in Plato's Den, and are but Embryon Philosophers.
~ Sir Thomas Browne
At the most embryonic state, the tendency toward the fullness of actualization is already latent.
~ François Jullien
But love truly becomes love only when, no longer an embryo developing painfully in the darkness of the body, it ventures to confess itself with lips and breath. However hard it tries to remain a chrysalis, a time comes when the intricate tissue of the cocoon tears, and out it falls, dropping from the heights to the farthest depths, falling with redoubled force into the startled heart.
~ Stefan Zweig
How speak about an art which no one recognizes as an art? I know that a great deal has already been written about the art of the cinema. One can read about it most every day in the newspapers & the magazines. But it is not the art of the cinema which you will find discussed therein--it is rather dire, botched embryo as it now stands revealed before our eyes, the still-birth which was mangled in the womb by the obstetricians of art.
~ Henry Miller
Thus, discovery of an embryo in the earliest stages of cell division shows beyond a doubt that Precambrian sedimentary rocks can, under the right circumstances, preserve soft-bodied organisms.
~ Stephen C. Meyer
embryo from drying out. Sixty million
~ Steve Alten
And sonograms distort reality in another, more subtle way: You can only take a picture of the embryo/fetus if you erase the body of the pregnant woman. As with the famous optical illusion of the duck-rabbit, you can't see them both at the same time. In a sonogram the fetus is the subject, the woman is the background; the case for its personhood is made by turning her into gray-and-white wallpaper.
~ Katha Pollitt
The polarized outer cells are destined to become trophoblast, whereas those cells located in the interior are destined to become the inner cell mass, from
~ Bruce M. Carlson
Fig. 3.7 The cell polarity model of differentiation of blastomeres. A, If the plane of cleavage of a blastomere is perpendicular to the surface of the embryo, each daughter cell becomes trophoblast. B, If the plane of cleavage is parallel to the surface, the daughter blastomere located at the surface becomes trophoblast, whereas the daughter cell located on the interior becomes part of the inner cell mass. Even though by the 16-cell stage the
~ Bruce M. Carlson
The formation of the embryo and childbirth repeat the primeval fact of the birth of humanity, looked upon as an emergence from the deepest chtonian cavern-matrix.
~ Mircea Eliade
Based on their research, the Sanger scientists estimated that an embryo gains two or three new mutations every time its cells double.
~ Carl Zimmer
When you sense that your dark night is one of pregnancy and oceanic return, you could react accordingly and be still. Watch and wonder. Take the human embryo as your model. Assume the fetal position, emotionally and intellectually. Be silent. Float in your darkness as if it were the waters of the womb, and give up trying to fight your way out or make sense of it.
~ Thomas Moore
Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives. The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo.
~ Isaac Asimov
El embrión no queda afectado, y sirve como indicio de la pasada condición de las especies. Por eso sucede que las especies existentes, durante los primeros períodos de su desarrollo, se parecen a menudo a formas antiguas y extinguidas
~ Charles Darwin
The earliest period at which I have been able to detect the existence of the spleen in the human embryo is at the second month.
~ Henry Gray
