According to a Vice Motherboard article, the latest in microchip body parts is a 'Placenta-On-a-Chip' that will allow scientists to conduct studies on neonatal diseases without the use of human fetuses.

Investigations were carried on mothers, collected uteri and fetuses as follow:

Current standards for ultrasound evaluation of fetal growth may lead to misclassification of up to 15% of fetuses of minority mothers as being too small, according to a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., and other institutions.

When comparing the behaviour of the foetus of mothers who drink against foetuses of mothers who do not drink, when there is no alcohol in the mother's blood stream, indicates spontaneous startles occur more frequently in fetuses whose mothers drank low levels of alcohol - approximately 2.5 units a week - than in foetuses of mothers who didn't drink alcohol.

Fetuses are transitory entities in Aquinas' thought, moving from a vegetative state to a sentient one and then eventually to a state that provides the material preconditions for rationality.

Superfoetation is suspected when fetuses of different size are born together.
