Yup, those are the options! I'm a Bujold fan. I want there to be uterine replicators in as much science fiction as possible goshdarnit!

Mmm. I want uterine replicators in real life, certainly; but they make solving the Vulcan Problem too easy. Remember Bujold's standard tool: asking herself, "What's the worst thing I can do this character?. I'd rather see the Vulcans work at it, and have to discard the easy solutions because they're unethical.

That is a very good point! And it would be fun to watch them slog through it. Where by fun I mean a very painful to watch sort of fun, perhaps. But fascinating!

i am a bujold fan and hte URs bother me on some fundamental level as does her treatment of htem.

Here, i honestly think they will jsut have babies lots, it never said they ONLY mated during on farr, jsut they had to then...

i do like the reintegration of romulans thing though
