Heres A Hypothetical: What if Women Laid Eggs?

Strangest Tribe

If women laid eggs and birthed like the avian species...everything changes.

Abortion wouldn't exist but there would be laws concerning the egg. There would be religions worshipping the egg.

If a family decided they didn't want a child.. Birthing centers would most likely exist..more surrogate families would exist...more orphanages...

There would be social outcasts... Those that birthed weak eggs, those that had "accidents" with their eggs. There would be an entire separate court system governing the treatment of eggs.

The eggs would be edible... So naturaly there would be cultures and religions that had varying beliefs on human consumption of eggs.

Some parts of the world would have egg farms where women would donate their infertile eggs for a profit to feed the starving people.

The game show Survivor would be different. The women would have eggs to feed off of so then it would be harder to vote them off.


...that's the word on the street at least.

abandoning the egg would just be like abandoning the baby...you dont necessarily have to kill the egg. you'd just give it up.

Well, why abort an egg? I think the major problem would be scatter-minded people "losing" the eggs. Or trading them or mixing them up with someone else's or cooking them... wow. Now I see why God didn't plan it that way.

Family members and close friends would sign the egg like people do with casts. People would keep their egg shells as souvenirs.

Eventually, the toxins in marking pens would be linked to birth defects, and signing eggshells is then deemed illegal until dupont eventually comes out with an "egg-safe" type of ink that is both permanent and does not seep through the shell.

Yes, I whipped out a sketch pad and spent a few hours writing down some ideas.
