Fetus

In human development, a fetus (/ˈftəs/; plural "fetuses"), also spelled foetus, is a prenatal human between its embryonic state and its birth. The fetal stage of development tends to be taken as beginning at the gestational age of eleven weeks, i.e. nine weeks after fertilization. In biological terms, however, prenatal development is a continuum, with no clear defining feature distinguishing an embryo from a fetus. The use of the term "fetus" generally implies that an embryo has developed to the point of being recognizable as a human; this is the point usually taken to be the ninth week after fertilization. A fetus is also characterized by the presence of all the major body organs, though they will not yet be fully developed and functional and some not yet situated in their final anatomical location.

Etymology

The word fetus (plural fetuses) is from the Latin fētus (“offspring”, “bringing forth”, “hatching of young”). The British, Irish, and Commonwealth spelling is foetus, which has been in use since at least 1594. It arose as a hypercorrection based on an incorrect etymology (i.e. due to insufficient knowledge of Latin) that may have originated with an error by Isidore of Seville in AD 620. This spelling is the most common in most Commonwealth nations, except in the medical literature, where fetus is used. The etymologically accurate original spelling fetus is used in Canada and the United States. In addition, fetus is now the standard English spelling throughout the world in medical journals. The spelling faetus was used historically.

Foetus (band)

Foetus is the primary musical outlet of J. G. Thirlwell. Until 1995 the band underwent various name changes, all including the word foetus. Monikers adopted at different times include Foetus Under Glass, You've Got Foetus on Your Breath and Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel. After 1995 the name permanently became Foetus, though the related project The Foetus Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1997 and continues.

Thirlwell acts as the sole instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter and producer for all Foetus works and as such is the only member of the band. Other artists may occasionally collaborate with Thirlwell on Foetus works but are not considered members of Foetus. Thirlwell is solely responsible for the musical output of the band.

J. G. Thirlwell has many side-projects, in which he frequently goes by the name Clint Ruin. One such grouping is Wiseblood with former Swans member Roli Mosimann. The material tends toward the realm of the darkest and most sexual Foetus songs, with Mosimann's Swans lineage showing in the slow, crushing pacing of many tracks. Thematically, Wiseblood's lyrics center around the misanthropic exertion of power, typically via murder, sex or assault. Wiseblood existed on-and-off from the mid-1980s through early 1990s.

Foetus (film)

Foetus (Hungarian: A magzat) is a 1994 Hungarian drama film directed by Márta Mészáros. It was entered into the 44th Berlin International Film Festival.

    Don't patronize me
    You know the rules
    Don't ask me any questions you don't want the answer to
    One less egg to fry
    The toast of the town
    I know what side my bed is buttered on
    Turn the body upside down
    Don't say anything rash
    Don't let your mouth write checks that your liver can't cash
    You're trying to me break me
    I felt this before
    Why'd you forsake me
    And walk out that door?
    But you enslave me
    And tie me in knots
    And bleed me dry
    I told you all a thousand times I'll pack my things and walk out the door
    And what can be done?
    I've felt this before
    But I'm not gonna be broken anymore
    You're tryin gto break me
    I felt this before
    thought you forgave me
    I guess I was wrong
    You tried to rape me
    And leave me for dead
    And tear me down
    I told you all a thousand times I'll pack my things and walk out the door
    You act like a morgue
    But no no more
    I told you all a thousand times I'll break you back and start a new war
    I felt this before
    But I'm not gonna be broken any more
    Break
