Description
Icons of Life tells the engrossing and
provocative story of an early twentieth- century
undertaking, the Carnegie Institution of
Washington's project to collect thousands of
embryos for scientific study. Lynn M. Morgan
blends social analysis, sleuthing, and humor to
trace the history of specimen collecting. In the
process, she illuminates how a hundred-year-old
scientific endeavor continues to be felt in
today's fraught arena of maternal and fetal
politics. Until the embryo collecting
project-which she follows from the Johns
Hopkins anatomy department, through Baltimore
foundling homes, and all the way to China-most
people had no idea what human embryos looked
like. But by the 1950s, modern citizens saw in
embryos an image of 8220ourselves unborn,8221 and
embryology had developed a biologically based
story about how we came to be. Morgan explains
how dead specimens paradoxically became icons of
life, how embryos were generated as social
artifacts separate from pregnant women, and how a
fetus thwarted Gertrude Stein's medical career.
By resurrecting a nearly forgotten scientific
project, Morgan sheds light on the roots of a
modern origin story and raises the still
controversial issue of how we decide what embryos
mean.
