Such were the concerns of physiologists, pediatricians, psychologists, and psychoanalysts as they advanced the novel discipline of embryology while, at the same time, grappling with age-old questions about the coming-into-being of a human person. \u003cem\u003eOf Human Born\u003c\/em\u003e thus draws attention to the fundamental way in which modern approaches to the unborn have been intertwined with the configuration of \"the human\" in the age of scientific empiricism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArni revises the narrative that the \"modern embryo\" is quintessentially an embryo disembedded from the pregnant woman's body. On the contrary, she argues that the concept of fetal life cannot be separated from its dependency on the maternal organism, countering the rhetorical discourses that have fueled the recent rollback of abortion rights in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854724485356,"sku":"9781942130895","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bfe906926bd3def6481087a76a0cd0ad.jpg?v=1759265923"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/caroline-arni.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
