Um, Alorael, wouldn't that be the other way around? The pro-lifers would be horrified at human eggs being destroyed, and so the pro-choicers would hurl them at their houses. Nature has created far more efficient infants than our human babies. Mountain goat babies, or whatever their specific name is, start walking up steep slopes and craggy rocks hours after being born. Many snakes and lizards are fully developed after they are born. The human baby could be changed in a variety of perfectly plausible ways. There is no reason to believe why people could not deal with squishy little chick sized babies. Also, eggs do not necessarily have to be extremely fragile. Ostrich eggs have extremely tough exteriors, and I'd imagine human eggs would be at least much stronger than chicken eggs. If the babies were tadpoles, then we'd just have a lot more tiny eggs. It would be similar to fish spawning at that point. I decline to elaborate on that any further and leave the matter up to your imagination. Now, are there any more objections to oviparity? -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

I admit I haven't read this thoroughly profound philosophical conversation, but I did see someone mention giving birth to eggs so that got me thinking this. That is all. I will now attempt to disappear in a cloud of smoke. -------------------- These are my scenarios. I may have too much free time but I really don't care.

quote:Excuse me, but where did the "huge" come from? Slightly larger than a chicken egg is what I was proposing. Besides, I offered alternatives. Really, we are all fixated on the idea of monthly egg laying. Would you have any more objections if it only happened after fertilization? I'll be damned if I don't win this engrossing debate.

This is one debate I am willing to lose. I think what Alorael was alluding to was the way anti-choicers enjoy holding up signs with dead babies. However, throwing eggs at houses would be the equivalent of throwing fetuses, so I think Garrison has a point there. -------------------- You lose.

Every egg is sacred... —Alorael, who can see animal rights getting mixed up in it too. It's okay to eat chicken abortions as long as you eat human ones too. It's about equality, not correctness. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Catholics would probably make a ritual out of it. Jews would probably be against the idea the most, if you think about it. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Most of us don't consume our own flesh, either.

I bet the Chrono Trigger would taste fantastic scrambled. There might be repercussions, though. Nasty indigestion and all that. —Alorael, who likes his causality shaken, not stirred. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'd rather not lay eggs. Chicken or baby sized. Technology has come far enough that women can take medication to stop menstration all together if they don't want to get pregnant, and pregnancy itself stops menstration usually until weening time. There is one major point that no one has yet to address. Who's gonna sit on the fertile egg to wait until it hatches? Pregnancy now is not extremely cumbersome but having to sit in one spot for even one day would be torture to me. Sure, the responsibility can be shared and even outsourced to technology. But then what happens if the eggsitter takes a too-long bathroom break or that technology breaks down in the middle of the night? I see marital discorse and lawsuits galore in the making. Abortion (and adoption, I think) would be a whole lot easier though. Just leave your fertile egg unattended to die of cold or smash it and dispose of it in your own home. With no abortion clinics to pickit, pro-lifers would have to go the route of informational booths on good egg care and where you can leave unwanted fertile eggs no questions asked. Then there's the whole 'how do you tell if an egg is fertilized' question. But I'll leave that alone for now. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

I recently watched a movie where a chinese woman ate dumplings made of fetuses in order to look younger. In the end she ended up eating her own unborn child for the sake of her vanity.

Not all eggs need to be constantly sat upon before they hatch. But really my main reason for supporting egg laying is the actual birth itself. Human babies are pretty big for the birth canal and often require an awful lot of pushing and heaving before they come out. Eggs on the other hand would be small and streamlined. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

There's another thing to consider. A baby has the protection of he mother's womb before birth. Eggs would have no such protection, and would be far more vulnerable to things a baby would merely shrug off. Also, I'm sort of equating laying an egg to a kidney stone. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

Isn't that what a shell is for Nioca? I imagine that a human eggs would be very durable. It may even be durable enough for the mother to sleep with it at night. All you would really need to do is keep it warm. A simple lamp that would normally be used for a plant or reptile should suffice. Even it it burns out, as long as the room isn't freezing, it's not like it's going to die before replace the damn bulb. -------------------- You lose.
