It drove me wacky! Great photography etc, but I hated the way the poem and the commentary (which was supposed to be scientific) kept projecting sentimental and innacurate capabilities on to the foetus. Like saying the foetus was 'learning how to use' it's body when what they were explaining was a reflex action. The point of a reflex action is that it is unconscious, isn't it? And implying all sorts of other things about the baby making choices and reactions to outside stimulii, and then revealing that it's senses weren't even formed yet.
They kept skipping back and forth between ages of feotuses as well. Showing a '4D' scan image of a v young image, and then a different bit of film of an older feotus - which gave the idea that development is greater earlier on than it is.
Also, as far as I could see, they were talking about actual weeks growth from conception - they specifically said after x many weeks growing' etc, and weeks in pregnancy terms are done from LMP. So pics of a 12 week feotus in the programme would equate to 14 weeks pregnant.
With regards to the programme's impact on any abortion debate, the information that early on even an expert wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the embryos of a pig, human and (what was the other example they gave?) and that only 1.5% of our genes make us human and we share 50% of our genes with a daffodil bulb, and over 75% with a cat, made me feel that abortion on demand in the v early stages of pregnancy should be made a lot easier - which might then preclude many later ones, anyway.
But I did find the images themselves v moving.
