interesting article, but valuable data is missing. who proposed these programs? how serious is research on them? is this merely a theory, or is there research being done as well? etc...

Possibly the most extreme version of this concept involves the goal of exclusively male planetary colonies. In this case only male embryos are transported along with a large reserve of ovum as well as adding the ideas of robots which would perform gender selection within the artificial wombs. Why exclusively male? Why not exclusively female? Exclusively female, with a large number of sperm (especially if said sperm had a significant majority of X-chromosome-bearing sperm) would allow for rapid initial growth, since all of the population in the first generation would be potential child-bearers, rather than only half.

[edit] Might be?

There's a lot of speculation that sounds like original research in this article. I'm tempted to {{prod}} it. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 17:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

It just survived a delete vote. Also I took much of it out for vagueness.--T. Anthony 13:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert has a short story with ESC as a part of the story. I'll come back to this later. Delta Tango | Talk 03:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
