Eggs would be just as gross. Also there would be people who would mix up peoples' eggs in hospitals or step on other peoples' eggs. So much vulnerability. Really the best solution is that we would live forever and not have to reproduce.

This is just silly, you could write the parents' name on the egg with a black sharpie.

 

[Skilotonn]

Wow.

 

[alfredofroylan]

The wiki about this condition is amazing, the longest case was a chinese woman that had a stone baby for 65 years.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

I always thought that "stone fetus" was something Law & Order Criminal Intent made up. Sheeeeet.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Pics or it didnt happen

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Saw some photos of it, something out of Silent Hill.

 

[Zoe]

Surprised it took this long.

 

[DarkKyo]

How am I the first person posting this:

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

With the body unable to rid itself of it, the dead fetus is instead covered in calcium as a means of protection, resulting in the "stone baby."

The baby knows Earth style ninjutsu,

People mix up babies in hospitals and step on them all the time.

At least with eggs I don't have to worry about having a corpse inside of me.

 

[biRdy]

GOOGLE STONE BABY.

Holy mother of fuck shit.

why why why did I do that!

 

[Kinvara]

Update: well I should not have looked that up :-X

I'm so sorry. I should have warned you.

Thread title should be changed to "Don't google stone baby"

 

[Savitar]

Amazing and bewildering.

How long between sex and egg drop? How long for incubation?

 

[maomaoIYP]

I googled stone baby. Not as bad as I had imagined.

edit: If you google for images of stone baby you'd see a harlequin baby too, now THAT is something you shouldn't google for.

 

[daman824]

Why does the body turn it into stone to protect it?

 

[terrisus]

When I read the topic title, I assumed it meant the woman had died when she was 40, and for some reason they checked her body after all this time and found the fetus there.

The woman was still alive and had it inside of her for 40 years though? Now that was unexpected.

Spoiler

I've seen that before, never knew the actual condition name.

 

[Conor_Fool]

that sure is something

edit: don't google "stone baby"

Too late

 

[schick85]

Googling "lithopedion" was a huge mistake.

 

[Kirlia]

Pics or it didnt happen

Are you not noticing all the posts that say "don't google 'stone baby'"?!

 

[Jenenser]

Why does the body turn it into stone to protect it?

its not to protect the baby, its to protect the mother.
if the dead embryo is to big or the mother is to weak to reabsorb it,
its coated by calcium so the dead tissue (still inside the mother) wont cause infection,necrosis and so on.

i think its rather fascinating that our body's are capabel of something like that.
thx for this interesting thread

 

[sixteen-bit]

that's crazy

It's a Daily Fail article. There is a 95% chance this story is made up or at least spiced up in huge parts.

The fact that it was first described in the 10th century is fascinating...

 

[cardinalmind]

Welp. That's enough Internet for me. I have seen some shit I have to erase from my mind before I sleep.

 

[SmokyDave]

Scrubs

Yes! That's it!

Cheers man, that was driving me mental. She's so fine.

This really happens though. Wikipedia has a list of remarkable cases.
