A self-willed journey through the world of the human embryo

searching for the sense and meaning of human existence.

This website wants to present a view on the human prenatal existence which on the one hand is based upon scientific facts that are known about the human embryo and on the other hand respects and describes the embryo as more than matter of 'nothing but genes, cells, tissues, hormones ...'. 

The current materialistic embryology usually describes the embryo in the last-named terms. In the debate about issues like What is and what is not allowed in respect to the treatment and manipulation of embryos (e.g. cloning), ethical and moral attitudes are token based upon this current view .

The view which is presented here tries to counterpart the dominating one-sided so-called scientific view on human existence in general and on our embryonic existence in particular. 

An other view is possible in which the embryo (again) becomes a human being and fellow-man and may give us sight on unexpected dimensions of mind and spirit, creation and evolution. The only equipment you need for that are new 'spectacles'.

View of the author as to matters like this is that for its future mankind does not need so much new horizons (for example on the enormous dimensions of our genome and DNA) but that we rather need 'new eyes'. Another view on man and the world in which spirituality and science may find and mutually impregnate each other.

This site puts the human embryo in a 'new light', maybe is inconvenient and puts things on their head! I hope this site may broaden your outlook!
