More about Cybernetic Ovum

"It begins with an egg and a sperm. You would not think that the human egg and the human sperm could be mechanized, digitalized, commodified, and cyborgized, but that is just what has happened.

For most of human history, the dance of the egg and the sperm has been sorely misunderstood. People once believed that little babies crouched in sperm ready to feast on eggs; or conversely that the egg held the child and the sperm was for sustenance.

Even once it was discovered that both egg and sperm merged to make the new baby, most experts assumed that the sperm was the active participant, the egg merely waiting to be fertilized. Finally the actual details unfolded revealing that the egg is active after all."
