What is a "Human Admixed Embryo"? - an article by Julian Hitchcock
by
Dr Claire Morgan
on Thu 03 Apr 2008 07:22 PM BST

In effect, this is the point at which the cells display the characteristics of a vertebrate. In humans, this happens at about 14 days following fertilisation. Before then, the developing ball of cells is known as a “blastocyst”. The Human Fertilisation & Embryology Act 1990 (the “Act”) made the word “embryo” include the blastocyst. more »
