I’m just wondering why this experiment took place? Is it’s goal to enable the male pregnancy?

That's horrible and I really can't see a useful application for it either to justify the cruelty. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

I'm not fond of rats but that is an exceptionally cruel and unusual treatment of animals in the name of science . It made me heave just reading the description.

And yes, OP, there's no other reason to do.

That is honestly revolting

What a cruel, pointless sadistic use of science.

Exactly. Who on earth funds this shit?

WhiteFeministWarMachine · 17/06/2021 15:52

Absolutely revolting.

Anyone else open this thread expecting to see this,

Instead it’s some sort of Human Centipede inspired nightmare! Sad

Goes hand in hand with the treatment of Uyghur muslims.

Except I'm fairly sure there are equally repulsive experiments going in in various non-Chinese labs.

I don't even understand why anyone would even think about doing that. It is unnecessary and cruel.

Imnobody4 · 17/06/2021 15:39

At this point I'm more concerned about the rats. What a cruel, pointless sadistic use of science. Goes hand in hand with the treatment of Uyghur muslims. Sometimes the future really scares me.

@OneEpisode

yack. More articulate expressions of disgust are available.
Boak from me.

What a dreadful, cruel thing to do for no good reason.

partyatthepalace · 17/06/2021 15:36

I can’t imagine that was the motivation.

I hope there was a good reason though, because that is pretty cruel.

Fucking hell, what a horrible and pointless experiment.

They inbred the rats so they were genetically very similar.
They conjoined them, which meant they had no natural movement,
And then the uterus business
Tack.

Well it goes to show you need the full female body to make a pregnancy last. They're a bit stuffed if it means attaching them to females. Be a really strange world seeing women everywhere surgically attached to male bodies.

Poor rats man
