Serial No. 2090

The human vagina: we’ve all been through it. The womb exerts an almost irresistible influence on us - first as we struggle to fill it, and then to empty it. Millions of sperm, among the smallest cells in the body, travel an almost impossible distance in proportion to their own size to fertilize an ovum, one of the largest cells in the body. They compete -literally until they die - to be the single successful donor of genetic material.
Even with current in-vitro fertilization technologies the uterus is essential. Without its perfect structural and biochemical milieu, the blastocyst (sperm/egg combination) cannot become a healthy embryo. Every human begins here. In this context the human female reproductive tract is nothing less than the center of creation.
