:: laughs:: Love that pic! We'll see how this turns out. I'm half-tempted to jot down some second-generation fanfic about the wee fellow, but first we'd have bring him into the world. We'll see where this goes.

It makes me wonder. Why is there not a SINGLE CHILD in the whole simulation?

It would be nice to see children moving cubes in the air.

The thing about how machines make humans it's like artificial insemination for me. They trace the couple who copulate, they find them in their respective pods, sustract the sperm and get it into the woman's pod. I suppose she need special treatment while pregnancy. Then, the baby is born and taken to the crop fields.

If someone said this before, I apologyze.
I want a son too T_T

MatrixRefugee offered a brilliant response with plenty of canonical evidence.

Morpheus said "We're not born, we're grown." That's enough fact for me.

Yeah, one of the very recent (8.1) Merv missions had a whole slew of information about how the Machines propagate the humans. One of the Succubuses (succubi? Danged Latin correspondence course) said something about how strange/icky it was when pregnancy was the norm.

It is scary that people like yourselves vote or will soon be able to.  Im glad the future is in the hands of those who like to pretend they are pregnant in a goofy *CENSORED* game.

:: Shrug:: It is or was, depending on how this plays out, part of my character's storyline. We'll see where it goes. For that matter, this *is* a massive multiplayer online role-playing game, and I'm playing the role of a gal who wants to bring life into a world that's a little short on life.

You tell 'em, Chem.

For that matter, things being what they are in the main storyline, with the Truce being broken which would make it challenging to swipe some of the Machines' technology (ie. a stalk from one of the fields), it looks like my gal might have to rely on the, ah, old-fashioned home-grown method, possibly retro-fitting the wee one with jacks when he's around, say, seven or so. Unfortunately, I am not looking for any donors for our gal.

Careful. This is getting dangerously close to flames.

Please refrain from making personal attacks or responding to baiting.

I wouldn't see why not?  If that is the storyline someone wants to play then let them.  Freeborn humans probly came from pod humans in the firstplace.  That's one of the ways Zion gets populated.  A pod born human who gave birth to a freeborn - the freeborn human child would not have the "holes" the pod born human parents do.

And programs in the matrix apparently can reproduce almost the same way as ppl do.  How did Sati came to be?  Anyone remember her parents in Revolutions?  They made the deal with the Merovingian to protect her from deletion.  While sacrificing themselves for the life of their daughter.  Most programs are made the traditional way be being written.  But sometimes they reproduce in a more human fassion.  Only the robots themselves do not "birth" babies. 

If someone wants to simulate pregancy for their story then they are free to do so - as I see it.  I don't let my personal views interfear with someone else's philosophy or personal desires to have children.  I am one who cannot have kids and doesn't want kids.  But lots of ppl do - and it is great that they would like to have children - possibly in reality someday.   It is NOT "gross" or disgusting.  It is a natural process and desire for most ppl. 

So let them be and let them have fun with their RP story.  Nobody is forcing anybody to participate in their personal storyline if they don't want to.

Does that mean she's a prostitute... on a mission?

Nope, she just wants a kid to call her own, and if there's one thing the Matrix-universe could use as a contrast to all it's darkness and double-crossing, it's the innocence of a well-brought-up kid or two.
