Ever raise chicks? It’s very informative of what egglaying requires.

Keep in mind the animals that lay eggs have a type of body that can sit and incubate and often it requires both parents to sit.

Additionally sit- Incubating this way is super inefficient and means you have to sit in one place to keep a constant temperature as opposed to our current strapped on method which means the child is constantly incubated in an ideal environment leaving the parent free to do things like keep a job to support child/hunt for food.

It has the best means for survival as you don’t end up leaving your embryo to be snatched or crushed.

And usually if your holding a child you’re also supplying milk which means the parent only has to look after feeding themselves traditionally while supplying milk which is far more readily available vitamins for the baby.

If anything you have to be much more dedicated with your time and intention and worry to be an egg layer.

You know damn well lawmakers would make omelettes illegal

There’s a movie about that. Well, it’s about high-tech incubator eggs that promise relief from the toils of pregnancy so mothers can go on working (so they can afford said proprietary incubator eggs). Not a great movie, but it was interesting. Don’t remember the title unfortunately.

Eggs are bird periods

No thank you. The eggs would have to be enormous to develop into a human baby, and laying one of those every month would suck.

I already lay eggs, but I don't think you want to go near them

Yup. Eggs>livebirth. They're also easier to expel because the shell helps it to slide through. Once you get it about 2/3rds of the way out, simply relaxing causes the rest to come out on its own. Still painful, but at least goes part of the way itself. Plus you don't have to deal with a squirming, screaming creature wanting to gorge itself on your nutrient sacks while you're trying to recover.

Shock eggs are horrifying though. Yanno, when you thought your boyfriend pulled out and then you accidently commit infanticide.

Edit: don't ask what happens if the shell breaks while it's still inside. You don't wanna know. Be thankful you're approaching this evolutionary step voluntarily and not due to natural evolution. Evolution sometimes decides that those kinds of questions aren't worth bothering with. You're lucky though. When the time comes, you'll get to choose how you want your eggs done.

And how much are you asking for in research funding?

A single shoot for everything like the cloaca sounds terrible though

Return to monotreme.

-Easier birth control: Make the egg into an omelette

That's abortion, at least going by bird eggs.

Much safer than whatever people did before abortion clinics, though!

Yeah, nah mate. Shiela’s should grow a pouch, eh?

"ohh yeah cum inside me" will now be changed into "ohh yeah bukkake right onto this egg i just laid"
