at one point does an embryo become a fetus?

An embryo becomes a foetus at approximately the tenth week of gestation (eighth week of development).

The foetal stage is differentiated from the embryonic stage because all of the organs or their precursors are now differentiated.

My wife just got up and cheered your proposal. I think that's called "giving it a standing ovulation".

Eggsactly topic

:roll: :P Cracks me up.

Menstrual cycles have a shelf life. The Pause of Meno happens at about 52 years, if naturally occurring.

My proposal involves the complete eradication of the female cycle. No periods, no PMS, no looking forward to being 50-60+.

The "war on terror" will never end. It's a scaremongering term invented by Western governments used to justify laws which take away our rights and privacy piece by piece.

In short you want women to be the breeding mares of society. And assume you could ban condoms and other forms of birth control. Suppose the women don't want to f*ck. Would you advocate raping them in the name of fighting Islam? Hell that is what the Muslims are already doing to their women in the Name of Allah.

first of all, i am a woman. what i posted was merely a speculation.

bringing about such changes by force would not work either because of reverse psychology.

what i meant is that bright educated people tend to have less descendents, while those in the worst communities tend to have many. this will cause cultural imbalances. i would never advocate restricting birth, but what if we discouraged those who are choosing the extinction of their group from aborting their children?[/


This absolutely makes no sense to me. You contradict your statement. Most well educated people are better educated hence the reason why they're not having so many children. Having too many children only adds onto problems with poverty.

And what do "bright minds" and cultural balance have to do with this? :?

I never understood that whole having children supports poverty thing. having children who can't be productive contributes to poverty, if more bright people where in this world perhaps they could combat poverty.
