And with her, across her life, awaiting an opportunity to start the fetal journey. We developed body parts to human form. From one cell to many, stem cells to specific cells. Healthy stems cells need a specific oxygen tension. Humans postnatally survive on ~20% oxygen tension. If oxygen levels are not regulates, then stem cell growth and development will be disrupted.

Development of digits (cell death causes digit formation) Eyes and ears in place (sound conduction & sensory)
