Impressive but a bit icky

I’ve just been looking at some photos, of the actual moment when ovulation takes place. And I’m feeling slightly disturbed I have to say. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in favour of the miracle of life, and being able to see things with a weeny camera that you wouldn’t be able to see with your eyes is rather cool. But I don’t think I need to see this, it’s slightly revolting. The follicle in the photo is miniscule and the egg is the size of a full stop, but blown up like this it looks a bit creepy. In general, I try not to think too much about this sort of stuff, I’m content just to let it get on with things without me having to see. What does anyone else think?

PS Please forgive the slightly obvious photo off eggs by Ale Paiva, I didn’t want to pilfer the actual photo from it’s original source in New Scientist.
