N2  - I WAS asked to discuss developmental biology with the stipulation that I predict the potential future contributions of this field to human development and pediatrics. In considering this task, I was struck by not only its enormity, but also my assignment necessitated the scaling of the barriers between disciplines.As a clinician and a biochemist I have dabbled in a number of areas and have been associated with a number of groups which lack the ability to communicate with one another. In part, this is a result of a language barrier, and in part it is a consequence of circumstances leading to the self-imposed sanctity of various fields. It is this kind of bridging problem with which I am faced today. In some way, I have assumed the nonenviable position—or, rather, Dr. Diamond has placed me in the nonenviable position—of a man with sight in the old Hindu tale
