Deductions drawn from such a case cannot be considered as conclusive, for in the missing placenta or cord may have existed the cause of the disease and death. During intrauterine life the foetus, the membranes, the cord and the placenta form an organic whole, and disease of any part must react upon and affect the others. Similar thoughts were succinctly detailed in Price's discussion of his concept of the "prenatal biases" as they affected twins. His contribution also admonishes us that placental study is a sine qua non for a more perfect understanding of fetal develop ment (1950).
