Giving birth ... no genetic enhancement? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Just watched the finale and you would think that giving birth would be the one thing they would want to make a bit easier for their creations ... certainly not a good survival tactic (for warriors) having to be incapacitated for that length of time and pretty much reliant on others. Surprising I thought.

Interesting point padders. Speaking from a female point of view, anything that might lessen the pain of childbirth would probably be a good thing. But I would imagine manticore probably didn't intend for their soldiers to become pregnant, except in 'controlled' circumstances.

yeah i would have to agree w/ tabi b/c the reason the breeding program was put into effect when max blew up the lab in manticore in S1

Kind of surprising that Mantacore didn't just sterilise the x5's though, isn't it?
