Hive is quite manipulative, They didn't say a word about Carol's frozen eggs. Carol is gonna get plurbed.
I’m no biologist, but after some research I did, frozen eggs are probably not enough.
Eggs can’t substitute for stem cells. They’re completely different cell types and don’t do the same job, so they’re not the kind of stem cells the Plurbs seem to be after.
Frozen eggs contain only half of Carol’s DNA, so they can’t be used to clone her on their own. And no — the frozen eggs wouldn’t be contaminated with Carol’s full DNA (like blood or other bodily fluids). In fertility clinics, eggs are collected directly from the ovary in a clean, controlled process, and they’re prepared before freezing. So they don’t come with extra cells containing full DNA. (I still can’t believe they wash the eggs, though.) 😁
You’re probably right but TV doesn’t usually care what’s real and what isn’t. It’s a decent loophole that I could see being exploited by writers.
Ooohhh… that would be mean. But like Carol said, some lawyers survived 😄
Ooh damn I forgot about that line in the Norwegian ice hotel! Sneaky
I get the feeling the man from Paraguay will get her out of it, and season 2 will follow a Locutus of Borg recovery type of storyline.
Oh boy, I remember the comment about the eggs. And then the one about stem cells. I absolutely did not put the two together until this comment, and I both hate you and love you for it :)
And they’re still working on it.. it has been what, 2 weeks? And they maxed out their research already?
