When a woman is pregnant, the fetus tries to grow as large as possible, while to womb/woman works to restrict growth.

Too much of either is not good, so perhaps the same is true here.




I think you need to brush up on your reproductive knowledge.


I think the foetus has a vested interest in not growing too large!


Cannot even remotely understand the logic in this getting flagged.

People are upset with the idea, that the mother and the fetus form a feedback loop, to ensure the baby is as large as possible, while still being able to exit the womb??

Yeah, horrible, flaggable idea. Even if one disagrees, what is the logic in flagging? "Ew, ick! Birth!"?!?

Bizarre.

That's quite different from what you said in the GP comment. This is a more neutral way to put it.

I've turned off the flags on the GP comment now, but I'm leaving the subthread collapsed because it's off topic.
