It's easy to hide the bits that look like a body when you stack it up with the gestational sac on a background with poor contrast.
There are other resources that show just the fetus (8+weeks, before that it really is just an embryo) with much better detail.

I linked to one at 8 weeks since the source article I responded to was limited to < 10 weeks. The field of view of the camera is quite small, but there's also an MRI image at 9 weeks: https://www.ehd.org/gallery/407/9-Week-Fetus-MRI-Animation https://www.ehd.org/gallery/407/9-Week-Fetus-MRI-Animation The most notable difference, aside from the details visible close up, is the fact that there is no red whatsoever in the images in the guardian article. The samples were very carefully cleaned to avoid looking organic at all, and promote the author's argument that so early in the pregnancy it is "just tissue".
