Beyond helping premature babies what uses would this have? Is it possible that we would put fetuses in these so that women dont have to unnecessarily suffer the toll of carrying the child?

 

[Rook]

It has begun.

Spoiler

resistance is fetal

This could probably be used for patients with compromised respiratory systems. As for uterus substitute, I think we're a bit far off. We still need to solve nutrient transfer, waste disposal, hormone control etc.

To save all those poor aborted fetuses ofc

Gonna clone myself so I have someone to leave my money to.

 

[Bad Itch]

You would trust your own clone with that kind of thing?

If one can't trust their own clone, whom, I say, can they trust?

Me. You can trust me. It's an absolute, unless you meet my clone. Never trust my clone. One of me always lies.

In that case I just need to ask you both "Which one of you always lies?"

HE does.

HE does.

DAMMIT! Foiled again! Ok, I can figure this one out... *thinks really hard*

"Which one of you tells the truth?" No...

"Would your clone say you always lie?" There we go... right?

Wait... I'm not giving either of you my damn money... ffs... this has been an exercise in futility!

Seriously though... if I could clone myself and write my consciousness into its mind, we probably wouldn't speak to each other. Maybe on our birthday.

I'm with you. I haven't met my clone, yet, but I'm sure he's a fucking douche.

Rite?! That's what I'm talking about. I mean... there's also the alternative, that maybe our clones would be so awesome we'd need to be federally regulated. In that case, I wouldn't tell anyone I had one (or more).

If they work out the details (waste disposal and feeding etc), I would totally waste good money to spend a week or two of my vacation in an artificial womb.
