Cancer: Embryonic-Like Processes Gone Haywire

A Tumor, The Embryo's Evil Twin by George Johnson.  The New York Times.  March 17, 2014.

Fascinating article illustrates how a search for comparisons, metaphors, and analogies can be productive.  Susan Sontag's reference to tumors as "demonic pregnancy" is shown to be much more than a figure of speech.
