The only book I've read that's discussed it said that mixing the blood with something else would make the effect temporary, rather than permanent. That was just that one continuum's rule, though - your mileage may vary.

I see there's an "advanced growth process" in whatever the hell dimension they're in. This advanced growth process has, by the author's admission, two weeks of foetal development packed into two hours. So we're talking, what, forty hours' gestation? He's going to have horrendous stretch marks.

http://community.livejournal.com/wtffanfiction/23185.html has a link to the fic and the Pottersues report.
I kind of wanted to save the embryo so we can have a scene where Girl!Stormsong throws a fit when they ask to implant it into "her". The anti-abortion bit was only a few sentences, but it was annoying beyond belief even so.

After all, there aren't that many Suvian babies about. If they all were tested to death, you'd rapidly run out of test subjects.
We do kill Sue children though. Have there been any actual Sue babies, as opposed to the children of Sues, and if so, what happened to them?

You'd be best off checking with one of our resident biologists to see if sperm would have met egg after two hours, but I suspect not.
I would be interested to know how this spell to see if transgender!Ron is up the duff works. Again, we must turn to the biologists, but two hours after intercourse has taken place, there aren't really going to be any chemical or physical or hormonal differences in the body to detect. So unless this spell is basically a powerful microscope crowbarred into transgender!Ron's newly deflowered lady bits... You know what, I'm not even going to finish that sentence. The mental images are getting too weird.
If the author's using this fic to broadcast her anti-abortion stance, then I'm leaning even more towards the spiking option. However, there's an easier option. A ridiculously high proportion of pregnancies spontaneously abort, for a variety of reasons. I'll bet the mother changing gender would be a good enough reason.
Can we have a link to this trainwreck of a fic?

But eventual-you-know what written by a nine year old girl? Why yes, yes we have. We even have eventual you-know-what written by pubescent girls with the mentality of a nine year old girl. I think the most famous you-know, ok, too long to post, sex scene with the above qualifications are 'He stuck his thingy in her you know what',made famous by the author of the Harry Potter fanfic, 'My Immortal'.

Ron was, for various ridiculous and unexplained reasons, turned into a girl and transported to a weird alternate dimension which looks sort of like The Arabian Nights except everyone has Japanese names, ended up posing as a handmaiden to the Princess Sue, and was randomly raped by a guard (see, that's why guards in Real World harems were eunuchs). Doctor employed by the Princess heals "her" up and casts a spell to see if "she's" pregnant ... so actually it's a couple of hours, not a couple of days. Should sperm even have met egg yet? But then the story goes on for a couple more days, so it'll be implanted and such by the end.
(Then Ron's quite understandable fright is literally handwaved by the Princess saying "oh, women get emotional when they're pregnant!", thus making me want to go on a homicidal rampage, and the characters are used as mouthpieces for an anti-abortion rant. And it turns out that Draco doesn't know what abortion is - I really doubt the wizarding world would be totally ignorant of that concept ... hehe, "concept", excuse pun. See why I want this fic to die?)

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure the PPC does not condone killing infants. We kill Sues, yeah, but killing babies is just abhorrent. Considering we raise them to not be Sues and as future agents (ever wonder why the daycare's referred to as "agent training"? :P), that's even more reason for non-lethal tests.

No, it hasn't been explicitly stated I don't think, just alluded to. Bend your brain if you want, but I think the rest of us just assume it works and leave it at that. Could be cool though. :P

I'm not sure if their structure and functions have been explicitly stated in any mission. It will need a blood supply and a nutrient feed at the very least.
Hmm, maybe I should bend my brain to working out what one of these pods would be like?

It's an embryo. by

Could be called a zygote, but you'd already have cell division after two days. It's an embryo up until the seventh or eighth week, at which point we call it a foetus.
I'd say spike the drink.

only two days? by

Are we talking only two days since conception here? Because, first, how the hell does the thing's mother know after two days? Or is this another Sueper power? And second, that's not a foetus. Is that even a zygote yet? Whatever the technical name, if it's only two days since conception, your agents aren't even going to be able to see, with the naked eye, whether it's in whatever tube they decide to put it in.
I suppose spiking the mother's drink with the morning after pill is out of the question?

In a lot of more traditional fairy tales, drinking dragon's blood gives one the ability to speak with animals. It's gross stuff, though.

Rest assured that I am a fairly experienced PPC boarder myself - I use "The Nameless Admin" for administrative posts rather than my usual username specifically to separate the two functions. I don't want people kowtowing to the usual me because I'm also TNA, and I also don't want people to try to blackmail me. I got admin powers when the ypur invasion was going on, so I was trying to avoid being a target.
My identity isn't that big of a deal really, hiding behind TNA just gives me a touch of protection against the casual observer. With a little bit of research here on the board, I'm sure you could work out who I am. Just please don't post it for the world to see, ok?
And no, I'm not the SO. I'm here in the real world, not in HQ. While a link does exist between the two, I am not it.
I, at least, am trying to not be something to be afraid of - I'm just the janitor, cleaning up after the occasional idiot pours junk all over our nice shiny board. As for the SO, he's been posting every now and then for as long as I've been on the board. He's certainly not harmless, but he's on our side.
I hope that helps.
