| Jul 21, 2023 at 21:45 | comment | added | Juicy Grey Goo | @Palarran, That one is one of many q&a I looked upon, so very aware about problems. So trying figure out how to solve them, without using actual live birth. Egg laying or process similar enough is must. Ineffectiveness and primitiveness are not issue, but rather desired feature. As well need of community to take care of results. | |

| Jul 21, 2023 at 19:33 | comment | added | John O | There are limiting factors for dry eggs. Don't get to increase incubation time significantly even if you scale the egg up in size, but humans need to be at least 5 or 6 pounds to have a good shot at surviving birth (hatching in this case). And humans would be too weak to escape eggshell strong enough to protect them. At least one parent needs to protect the egg (for half a year or more), and is essentially useless otherwise... a pregnant woman can forage and potentially even hunt, she takes the "nest" with her after all. This isn't really feasible. | |
| Jul 21, 2023 at 19:29 | comment | added | AlexP | The only difference from actual humans is that human babies develop inside two thin and very flexible membranes, the amnion and the the chorion, and they "hatch" while still inside their mother, just before birth. (The popular term is "the water breaks".) Otherwise, not much difference. Human babies have very little ability to regulate their body temperature, their brain is very underdeveloped at birth, they need constant care after birth, etc. | |
