- Sorry. I must have missed this request. Which statements did you want
- references for? The only one I can think of is the definition of
- fetus... reference follows:
-
- "Definitions- Nurses Reference Library", Intermed Communications, published
- by C. V. Mosby Co., copyright 1983
-
- Page 376
-
- "fetus/foetus- the unborn offspring of a viviparous animal after it has
- attained the particular form of the species, more specifically, the human
- child in utero after the embryonic period and the beginning of the
- development of the major structural features, usually from the 8th week
- after fertilization until birth."

- Mr. Barnes, consider my money put.

- Oh, thanks for the hearty endorsement.
