FACT: The California Medical Association referred to the scientific fact, which everyone really knows, that human life begins at fertilization and is continuous whether intra - or extra-uterine until death. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Congratulations on your latest extra-uterine orbit, Charles! ❋ Unknown (2008)
The recent development of extra-uterine fertilization technologies, however, including cryogenic storage of embryonic human beings, has created a group of humans at peril for their lives, but who, given the canonical maxim that penal laws are subject to narrow interpretation 1983 CIC 18, might fall outside the scope of the traditional abortion canon. ❋ Unknown (2006)
It might be unfortunate, but until such time as extra-uterine fetal gestation becomes possible, a willing woman is required to make a baby. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Malformations of the brain, except very gross conditions which are incompatible with extra-uterine existence, are not very common. ❋ William Thomas Councilman (N/A)
The activity of the nervous system is essential for extra-uterine life; life ceases by the cessation of circulation and respiration when either the whole or certain small areas of its tissue are destroyed. ❋ William Thomas Councilman (N/A)
An imperfect heart which can, however, fully meet the limited demands made upon it in intra-uterine life, may be incapable of the work placed upon it in extra-uterine life. ❋ William Thomas Councilman (N/A)
Occasionally, however, it happens that the impregnated ovum remains in the tube and develops there; we then have a case of what we call _extra-uterine_ (outside-of-the-uterus) or _tubal_ pregnancy. ❋ William J. Robinson (N/A)
Rupture of a gastric or duodenal ulcer; rupture of liver, spleen, or extra-uterine gestation, or abdominal aneurism. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Sometimes the embryo, instead of developing in the uterus, remains in one of the ovaries, or gets lodged in one of the Fallopian tubes, or is precipitated into the abdomen, resulting, in any of these cases, in an ectopic, or extra-uterine gestation. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
Chassagny in 1861; combined turning by Braxton hicks in 1860-3; the mechanism of delivery by Hofmeier in 1888; pregnancy of the oviduct by Veit in 1884; extra-uterine pregnancy by Werth in 1887; asphyxia of the newborn by Schwartz in 1858 and by Schultze in 1864. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
They are usually noted to occur within the first three months of extra-uterine life. ❋ Henry Weightman Stelwagon (1886)
All these instances of extra-uterine pregnancy may necessitate the employment of surgical skill, in order that they may terminate with safety to the mother. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
Some authorities claim that impregnation always takes place at the ovary, and that extra-uterine pregnancy tends to prove this; but as extra-uterine pregnancy occurs once in ten thousand cases, the chances are ten thousand times greater that impregnation does take place in the uterus. ❋ Unknown (1877)
At birth this channel closes up, and the urine takes the course normal to extra-uterine life. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)
When there is no uterus, still fecundation and pregnancy are not impossible, since extra-uterine pregnancies are occasionally observed, that is to say, cases in which the product of conception has escaped the uterus, end proceeded to establish itself in some point of the lower belly. ❋ John Davenport (1833)
The placenta adheres to any side of the uterus in natural gestation, or of any other cavity in extra-uterine gestation; the extremities of its arteries and veins probably permeate the arteries of the mother, and absorb from thence through their fine coats the oxygen of the mother's blood; hence when the placenta is withdrawn, the side of the uterus, where it adhered, bleeds; but not the extremities of its own vessels. ❋ Unknown (1803)
But in no circumstance is extra-uterine gestation so exactly resembled as by the eggs of a fly, which are deposited in the frontal sinus of sheep and calves. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
This attachment of the placental vessels to the internal side of the uterus by their own proper efforts appears further illustrated by the many instances of extra-uterine fetuses, which have thus attached or inserted their vessels into the peritoneum; or on the viscera, exactly in the same manner as they naturally insert or attach them to the uterus. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
