What are the early stages of intrauterine life?
The reason you have not received an answer to this question is because political correctness has taken over the medical field -- if doctors answer the question - what are the early stages of intrauterine life - then they have to admit that a fetus is alive in the early stages of development. Of course, we all know that nothing on Earth can grow if it's not alive -- remember Stephen King's novel, "Rose Red"? It was a HORROR story about a house that grew. And why was it a HORROR story? Because everyone knows that NOTHING CAN GROW IF IT'S NOT ALIVE. If babies are not alive inside their mothers, then there is no reason for the terms, "intrauterine life" and "extrauterine life." Mark my words, they'll be phasing these terms out in time.
