If you don't do what's right you ain't going to have a choice but to do things like this.

First time I heard of test tube babies is from the video game classic, Metal Gear Solid. Later on I would learn that my cousins who are twins were test tube babies.

I’m looking for if a baby could be grown for the entire pregnancy in a test tube like that experiment they did with hatching a chick completely outside of the egg. Is it possible?? I need to know

I know a lot of you will cry and yell at me for this but it's a fate; there are close to 10 million people on this planet (adding to the existing overcrowdedness) that weren't intended to be here (according to Mother Nature). What people don't realize is that Mother Nature works things out so that everything works-using Balance as the foundation/key to it all. If she allowed EVERY female on Earth to get pregnant (and carry to term) we'd have a gazillion people on the planet-and it would die. Those incapable of having children were designed that way. They are not supposed to have children. They were designed to not be (biological) mothers. They do however have a role; to be their when their siblings run into trouble and either need some help or (union death) complete help. Same goes for gay women and men. They are designed not not have kids so that they are free to step up when/if the need arises. Look, it's been proven time and again, when we go against MN-things goes badly. For example, when science get "ineligible" woman pregnant, they're goal is to add one (too many) more child to the planet but too often, the woman winds up with several kids. So instead of one too many, now we've got five! So Man's intervention is not just "worse" according the rules of Nature but it is 3-5 times worse. STOP BEING SELFISH!. STOP HAVING SCIENCE BABIES! If you can't do in a bed in your house, don't do it in a bed in the hospital...Accept the hand you were dealt.
