| | Embryo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In orgasms that reproduce sexually, once a sperm fertilizes an egg cell, the result is a cell called the zygote that has all the WTF of two parents. | | | An embryo (Greek: έμβρυον) is a diploid eukaryote in its earliest stage of development. | | | Once the embryo begins to germinate — grow out from the seed — it is called a seedling. |

| | In animals the embryo exists either within an egg (where it is nourished by food contained in the yolk), or in mammals, in the uterus of the mother. | | | The plant embryo is found within the seed in higher plants. | | | In humans, the term embryo describes the fertilized egg during its first seven weeks of existence; from the eighth week onwards it is referred to as a fetus. |

| | Understanding Embryo Donation |
| | Depending on the stage the embryos were in when they were frozen (at fertilization, day 3 or day 5), between 50-80% of the frozen embryos typically survive the thawing process and continue dividing. | | | These include the quality of the embryos that are frozen, the stage of the embryos when they were frozen, and how well the embryos survive the thawing process. | | | They are shipped temperature controlled to ensure that the frozen embryos remain safe and frozen throughout their journey. |

| | Historical Implications for Today’s Embryo Transfer: Day 3 Vs. Day 5 by G. John Garrisi, Ph.D. |
| | The cells of the embryo (called blastomeres) continue to divide, and on Day 4 the embryo is called a morula; at this stage, the cell number may be difficult to determine because of continued division and a developmental process called compaction. | | | When more embryos were available than could be safely transferred, the embryos were, in many cases, selected simply on the basis of cell number: 4-celled embryos were selected before 2 or 3-celled embryos. | | | When embryos of these classes were transferred on Day 3, the proportion that implanted and contributed to term pregnancies was greater than the percentage that developed to blastocyst in the group that was held in vitro until Day 5. |

| | Veterinary Services Embryo Transfer |
| | Embryo Transfer is the process of removing an embryo (a fertilized egg) from a broodmare and placing it in a surrogate mare where it develops into a foal. | | | A 7-day-old embryo is approximately ¼ to ¾ millimeters in size. | | | Genetically intact at recovery, the embryo contains all the genetic material it needs for its own development as well as for the placenta's development. |

| | Human Embryo Cryopreservation |
| | While embryos can be frozen at any preimplantation stage between one-cell (one day old) to the blastocyst stage (5-6 days old), in an attempt to minimize the freezing of excessive numbers of "spare" embryos and to help pre-select the most potentially viable embryos, we generally choose to cryopreserve only at the blastocyst stage. | | | In certain cases where all embryos need to be frozen without a fresh transfer (e.g., when a woman may be at risk from ovarian hyperstimulation that might be complicated by pregnancy), we generally freeze all embryos the day after egg collection at the one-cell stage. | | | If many early embryos are frozen, it is possible to thaw all of them and culture them for several days to allow selection of the best for transfer. |

| | Solving old embryo debates—and starting new ones. By William Saletan |
| | To some pro-lifers, a totipotent cell is an embryo, and biopsy, by using lab cultures to turn that embryo into ES cells instead of a baby, kills it. | | | Ron Green, an ethics adviser to Lanza's company, envisions a day "when every fertility clinic embryo has a cell removed and banked for future tissue use or organ replacement." In short, the embryo not only survives the biopsy but becomes its chief beneficiary. | | | Since biopsy has already been done to every human child who was genetically tested as an early embryo (through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD), we know it isn't lethal. |

It typically signifies that a couple who have undergone in vitro fertilization, and have had as many children as they wish to, are releasing their leftover embryos for use by other would-be parents. |

| | Because early embryonic cells are totipotent, the possibility of splitting or separating the blastomeres of early preimplantation embryos to increase the number of embryos that are available for IVF treatment of infertility is being discussed. | | | Such a possibility could be eliminated entirely by transferring all genetically identical embryos in the same cycle. | | | Because the IVF pregnancy rate increases with the number of embryos transferred, it is thought that embryo splitting when only one or two embryos are produced may result in a pregnancy that would not otherwise have occurred. |
