Abstract

Human reproduction wastes resources horribly. The fact that we have been unable to use the molecular medical biology revolution to address the fundamental question of why the fate of a fertilized egg is so dangerous and unsuccessful as we are in the twenty-first century is frightening.

This article also explores the issue of pregnancy loss in relation to genetic disorders.
