Although the development once again raises the specter of creating humans in a petri dish or custom-designing egg and sperm cells for reproduction, lead author Karim Nayernia says that was not his team's intention.

Once you're safely ensconced, deckhands start chumming bloody entrails beside the boat, attracting underwater predators from miles around. If you don't end up as their mid-afternoon refreshment, your own will be waiting for you back onboard...
