Studies of stem-cell-derived models of human embryos can uncover obscure developmental events that cause pregnancies to fail. Studying \u2018non-integrated\u2019 models, which lack extra-embryonic lineages required to make an embryo biologically complete, can seem to pose fewer ethical challenges than do integrated models, which contain embryonic and extra-embryonic lineages (Nature <\/i>622<\/b>, 469\u2013470; 2023<\/a>).<\/p>\n
