>Fetal lambs were transferred to EUDs at gestational ages (age of the pregnancy measured from the date of last menstruation as opposed to the date of conception) of 104 to 125 days (term is ∼145 days). At 100-115 days of gestation, lamb fetuses are biologically equivalent to 22-24 week premature human infants from the perspective of lung development


That’s the idea behind Artifical Wombs. NICU has a high thrive rate for 22-24 weeks premies. If we can keep the fetus alive till they can get to NICU care, the problem is solved.


Awesome summary. Major squick for some.

pre-veal sous vide


Presumably meat is more ethical if it is never born.


...which will promptly lead to militant vegans pointing out that life begins at conception, leading to howls of laughter from the back of the room and pro-abortion activists uncomfortably shifting their feet.

Bring popcorn.
