Requiem "Bye Bye Baby"

I had a scale model called the "Visible Woman" when I was a kid. But her organs never fit properly with her belly plate on, pregnant or otherwise. I would like to have this one instead.



A four week old embryo in intact sac of amniotic fluid. Following the termination of an ectopic pregnancy, apparently. A beautiful photo even so, taken by medical photographer Robert Wolfe.





For those who enjoy medical imaging, the third picture was taken from this interesting site on human embryo development, where you can see MRI sections from embryos at various stages.




Matryoshka miscarriage.
