Embryo space colonization

8-cell embryo for transfer in in-vitro fertilization

Embryo space colonization is a theoretical interstellar space colonization concept that involves sending a robotic mission to a habitable exoplanet or other viable target for terraforming transporting frozen early-stage human embryos or the technological or biological means to create human embryos. The proposal circumvents the cost and scale demands of other interstellar colonization concepts.
