Perhaps a bit of a side issue, but this is one of the concepts that Johannes Marcus Marci, early owner of the Voynich MS, was interested in.
While he is not known for any particularly important discoveries, he published about embryology in his book "Idearum operatricium idea", and his concepts brought him great displeasure from the side of the Jesuits, which followed him till the end of his life.
The problem was that (at least according to the Jesuits) his theories did not allow for the "original sin" to pass into the child. (My phrasing is from memory and probaly only partly accurate).
