Future foetus (6)

I believe the answer is:

embryo

(Other definitions for embryo that I've seen before include "Unborn offspring in the process of development" , "Its delivery may eventually be assisted" , "Early stage of fetus" , "Sometimes the result of an accident" , "Early stage of life" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
