When this topic resurfaced I realized there is a model that shows us that weightless birth and menstuation work just fine -- cetaceans have been doing it for millions of years. Kevin Koch (Koch is it!) ... decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-handel!koch // koch%handel.dec@decwrl.ARPA

> ... weightless birth and menstuation work just fine -- > cetaceans have been doing it for millions of years. 1 - they are not in a weightless environment 2 - they are also in a solution, so whatever liquids released become part of that solution (in air, this would be comperable to a gas, which I presume they put up with and have mechanics to cope with) 3 - they also do lots of other stuff right where they are that would be socially, hygenically and mechanically unacceptible in a space vehicle 4 - do they really have monthly (+/-) menstruation cycles, or is it more like once a year if they aren't pregnant and then they are likely to get knocked up? -- Internet: nemo@rochester.arpa UUCP: {decvax, allegra, seismo, cmcl2}!rochester!nemo Phone: [USA] (716) 275-5766 school 232-4690 home USMail: 104 Tremont Circle; Rochester, NY 14608 School: Department of Computer Science; University of Rochester; Rochester, NY 14627
