Famed photog takes us inside the human experience
It's a journey through the human body never imagined. Here are the most stunning, detailed photos of new human life ever photographed - published in the United States for the first time.
Titled "Life," the collection of oversize color images from scientific photographer Lennart Nilsson magnifies the wonders of the human body like never before.
Nilsson is best known for his iconic 1965 Life magazine cover shot of a living human embryo - the first time that life at such an early stage was captured on camera.
Using the world's most powerful electron microscope in Sweden, Nilsson has documented everything from the inner ventricles of the brain and plaque deposits on teeth, to the HIV virus encompassing a white blood cell - all blown up to show exacting detail.
But most impressive is the step-by-step photos of a fetus forming, shown in the photo gallery below. While such images won't quell the abortion debate anytime soon, their beauty alone deserves pause and admiration.

And some say this is just tissue, to be removed from a mother at her whim.

Forget Roe v Wade let's require that these pictures be shown to every woman(and her hsband/boyfriend/parents if there is one involved) who goes to a clinic to get an abortion and then require that she has to wait 24 hours to make her decision. It won't stop them all, but it would make a huge dent.

Nilsson, Schmilsson. So ...you're into Dobsonians -- but don't appreciate fine technical photography.
Curious combination...
