In the sterile laboratory, Nakagawa Susumu stared intently at the pink embryo within the culture flask. After several days of development, the tiny lump of mouse tissue had matured into a proper embryo. Normally, after just one or two more days, the mice would be ready to enter the birthing stage and be born.
However, this mouse embryo was not within a mother's body but in a specialized culture flask. While there was no difference in the environment, if the researchers did not wish for it to be born, it would just drown in that very flask despite reaching full development.
Of course, Nakagawa Susumu, understanding the significant implications of this experiment, would obviously never consider doing such a thing.
If the important experimental embryo died in the culture flask leading to a failed experiment, the consequences were not something a mere Trainee Doctor like Nakagawa could bear.
