BEGINS WITH THE EMBRYO
T he development of the human body inside the mother’s womb
takes place according to a blueprint, just like the construction of
a building. Yet this blueprint is far more wide-ranging than any
architect may be familiar with. In the same way that you need to calcu-
late electrical wiring before plumbing in planning a building, so the sys-
tems that will constitute the infrastructure of the human body must also
be considered, and growth must proceed in light of all these details.
One of these essentials is the body’s nervous system. During the
emergence of this electrical facility, a huge number of details must be
borne in mind, such as the neurons that form the nerve fibers extending
to all parts of the body, establishment of connections between these
nerve fibers and the brain, the backbone opening enough to let the spinal
cord to pass through it, and for countless neurons to be organized so as
to fulfill the functions of the brain.
Yet the cells themselves possess no such blueprint or project, and
