Leonardo Davinci's Position Of A Fetus

Your piece on Leonardo DaVinci was quite fascinating. His ability to determine the position and development of a fetus based solely on the dissection of one body with such accuracy is astounding. The ability to come to such conclusions without the use of additional bodies during each phase of pregnancy would have been very difficult to calculate, and calls one to contemplate the methods used. The possibility of calculating the growth, development and position of a fetus in the womb day by day, without the aid of modern technology is a testament to his findings, as doctors, midwives, and the like who, in countries where the use of technology is unavailable, are able to provide such services to women using perhaps the same methods as DaVinci.
