The Human Conceptus during the First Two Weeks of Gestation

Introduction
The youngest human embryo was conceived, not naturally in the Fallopian tube of its mother, but in a watch glass in the laboratory. It was the last of a series of almost 800 eggs. all recovered from ovarian tissue, of which 138 were exposed by Mrs. Miriam F. Menkin and me to human spermatozoa in about 1 c.c. of Ringer-Locke's Solution. After a pencil drawing was made of this two-cell individual, it was regrettably lost. A few days later , however, another egg similarly treated began its personal existence by changing from a single cell that had been part of the maternal tissue into a two-cell autonomous structure (Fig. 1, A.). Because none had been seen to do likewise without spermatozoa, and there were spermatozoa within the zona pellucida, it was probable that this two-cell organism is the result of conjugation of the male and female components. Some weeks later, similar procedures resulted in the production of two ova in the three-cell stage.
