We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research, but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving, not destroying, human life. Therefore, I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.

American Politician

John Gurdon

For my part, I have worked all my life with eggs and embryos of frogs. Compared to other small animals, these have figured prominently in the world of literature.

English Scientist

John Boehner

We can continue to make significant strides in the scientific community by exploring new stem cell research methods that do not include destroying human embryos.

Bill Rancic

It's important to us to see the development and growth. At the end of the day, it's our baby. Genetically it's ours. It's our embryo. We feel very connected.

American Businessman

Jennifer Doudna

Is it more ethical to edit embryos or to screen a lot of embryos and throw them away? I don't know the answer.

American Scientist

Shinya Yamanaka

Patients' lives are more important than embryos. I do want to avoid the use of embryos if possible.

Japanese Scientist

Robert Casey

From the beginning, each human embryo has its own unique genetic identity.

Samuel Butler

Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.

British Poet

Deepak Chopra

Every person is a God in embryo. Its only desire is to be born.

American Speaker

Madlib

Embryo is one of my favorite groups ever.

American Musician

Commonly used when discussing stages of early human development especially in medical or biological contexts.

Development Context

It may evoke emotional responses in discussions about reproduction rights or when discussing pregnancy.

Sensitive Word

Specific to the first 8 weeks after conception; after this period, the term 'fetus' is more appropriate.

Time-specific

Can be used metaphorically to describe something in its nascent, formative stage, not just biologically.

Metaphoric Usage

Conveys the idea of potential and growth from an undeveloped or early state to full maturity.

Potential for Growth

In botany, 'embryo' covers the early development stages of a plant within a seed.

Botanical Focus

It signifies the transition from a seed's embryo to a fully grown plant.

Seed to Plant

 Its placenta, a solid disk of blood-rich tissue, attaches to the wall of the uterus to support the developing embryo. The placenta is what keeps the calf alive during pregnancy. Directly connected to the mother's blood supply, it funnels nutrients and oxygen straight into the calf's body

 from infected human cells. The opportunity to do this kind of genome editing also raises various ethical issues that we have to consider, because this technology can be employed not only in adult cells, but also in the embryos of organisms, including our own species.

How CRISPR lets us edit...

 Sharks may lay eggs, or bear live young. Egg laying sharks only lay a few large eggs. They may come in various forms, such as sacks called mermaid purses or corkscrews. These eggs act as external wombs in which shark embryos complete their development.

 Epigenetic changes can survive cell division, which means they could affect an organism for its entire life. Sometimes that's a good thing. Epigenetic changes are part of normal development. The cells in an embryo start with one master genome.

What is epigenetics? -...

 the womb gets rid of its endometrial lining, along with any unfertilized eggs, sick, dying, or dead embryos. That protective process is known as menstruation, leading to the period. This biological trait, bizarre as it may be,

 the loss of this water creates a space at the blunt end of the egg as the embryo develops so the air space increases and the oxygen it contains will help to
