Embryology

A tragic incident occurred at the private "Eva" hospital in Sliven, Bulgaria, where a baby died in its mother's womb, leaving her to carry the deceased fetus for 18 hours. The 31-year-old woman, pregnant for the fourth time, was in a full-term state when her condition deteriorated.

In delivering the wish of the hardcore ideologues who turned his amoral messianism into a broader assault on rights and decency, Trump turned an abstract argument into a harsh reality for the people of the United States.

Scientists have created miniorgans from cells floating in the fluid that surrounds a fetus in the womb - an advance they believe could open up new areas of prenatal medicine.

Miniorgans, or " organoids," are tiny simplified structures that can be used to test new medical treatments or study how the real organs they mimic work, whether they are healthy or diseased.

Scientists are using human stem cells to create a structure that mimics a pre-embryo and can serve as a research alternative to a real one.

They say these "blastoids" provide an efficient, ethical way to study human development and pursue biomedical discoveries in fertility and contraception.

About 50% said they believed the fetus was a human being when they aborted…

A newborn boy, who was found abandoned at the entrance of a Thessaloniki apartment block on Tuesday, was later being treated at the northern port city's Ippokrateio Hospital, along with the infant's 24-year-old mother who was traced to a nearby apartment.

The 19-year-old said it was an unwanted pregnancy.

Expectant parents can now print models of their unborn children using ultrasound photos. The models can be 3D-printed in plastic and even in precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum.
