The uterine replicator was a Betan technological advance that allowed unborn human fetuses to be gestated in vitro, rather than in a woman's body. The invention spurred a surge in experimentation on humans, and triggered the development of Quaddies and Betan hermaphrodites. In addition, the invention of the uterine replicator allowed the Founding Fathers of Athos to realize their dream of a world without women.

abstract
  • The uterine replicator was a Betan technological advance that allowed unborn human fetuses to be gestated in vitro, rather than in a woman's body. The invention spurred a surge in experimentation on humans, and triggered the development of Quaddies and Betan hermaphrodites. In addition, the invention of the uterine replicator allowed the Founding Fathers of Athos to realize their dream of a world without women. Two hundred years after the development of the uterine replicator, three out of four births on Beta Colony used the technology, and it was universally used in the upper classes of the Cetagandan Empire. Quaddie and downsider cross-marriages likewise were dependent on uterine replicators. 'Gene-cleaning' was made easier by using a uterine replicator for gestation: Defects in the zygote could be looked for and eliminated prior to birth, removing any genetic problems, such as diseases or inherited traits (like a weak heart).
