So... using inbred rats that were sewn together and mutilating two female rats to induce "pregnancy" in one castrated male rat, most of the embryos died. I can see TIMs eating up this study. I feel sorry for the rats.

I feel sorry for the rats.

Me, too. Conversely, I won' t feel sorry for the men who will decide to do that if this abomination of a procedure will ever applied to humans.

So many terrible diseases in the world but someone decided to spend research resources on this.

I would not be surprised at all if some TIMs saw this as a triumph and want it to be repeated on humans.

So scientists won't test medications on women (or use a very small group compared to the men) but they'll fucking do this?

Interesting study. That's still a male rat. It's chromosomes are male no matter the surgery.
