Dormcat, nevertheless, like you acknowledged, this technology does exist. In the context of an anime that occurs between 1999 and 2016, complete with bio-mechanical angel mechs, hybrid angel-human characters, an underground research, defense, and command facility with 18 layers of defensive walls and 3 of the most advanced AI-containing supercomputers, AND a warm-water penguin that understands Japanese and is as intelligent as his human owner, it is hardly a stretch to say that they have a working process of ectogenesis in Evangelion.

Also, I don't think the question I was referring to had any mention of whether the use of the umbilical cord should be natural or not and I certainly did not intend to pass judgment either way; it doesn't make a difference because we're not discussing bio-ethics.

Finally, you're background knowledge is impressive unto itself. Assuming, from your knowledge, that you're in higher education or employed, what field are you in?

It's a sci-fi anime, anyway, so those inconsistencies can be ignored.

It's very easy to guess or find out. Really. Wink

I was wondering what everyone's take on Rei Ayanami's belly button is. I personally wondered if it was a mistake on the part of the animators but Hideako Anno, the director of the show, is too smart for that. I mean she is a clone and she was not concieved naturally through a womb so why would she have a belly button?


Is it just me, or did this seriously need a spoiler tag? I'm watching Evangelion for the first time right now and I don't appreciate this at all.


maybe it should be in the subject.. because there is going to be a LOT of black then

Dormcat: I don't look at is an inconsistency, it makes sense if you analyze it... down to the bone Razz.

As for your field, I'd have to say Bio-tech, Human biology, or medicine in general.
