Two Chicks in a Lab with Eggs

One winter morning, the two of us -- both postdoctorate fellows in medical humanities and bioethics -- gathered with a handful of reproductive science graduate students in the lab to watch a demonstration on making alginate beads. But the point of this paper is what else happened that day in the lab...

Description
Summary:One winter morning, the two of us -- both postdoctorate fellows in medical humanities and bioethics -- gathered with a handful of reproductive science graduate students in the lab to watch a demonstration on making alginate beads. But the point of this paper is what else happened that day in the lab. The graduate students and the fellows began talking about the inability of the lab to extend the experiment to see if human ovarian follicles are similarly capable of maturing into eggs that would be fertilizable.
