It's not like the Doc is Judge Dredd about that or anything.

I'm not certain.  I'm having a hard time coming up with a metaphor for Harry's suggestion.

You kidding? I'm making notes, I forgot about people's psychological aversion to baby things.
See? Little Xan in a baby carrier strapped to Miyamoto or Jim would have been awesome.

I can still make that happen. The head would have to be grossly distended to accommodate my adult-sized brain, but I could make a baby thing.

Hmmm. I wonder what the Doctor has to say on that experiment. Given his attitude to 'crimes against biology', I'd think he has already tried it, discovered the problems, perfected the design and moved on to greater atrocities experiments.
If not, it certainly sounds just the right sort of crazy weirdness that might interest him in doing it for us out of curiosity. And, after all, Mesk's girl needs a little sister...

I mean, we are giving life to someone, not taking it, so it would be a good deed after all, right? Right?

Ah, Harry, don't worry too much about it. Just know that in nature you can't just extrapolate things from one organism to another (and a more complex one, in this case, to boot).

I'm not gonna go into details of where the problems are (unless you really want me to, but then this'll turn into genetics 101 and I don't think that's what neither you or me are really after).

Just as an example though: you can often increase ploidy in plants by doubling it, and then said plants are indeed often bigger than their counterparts. But mammals aren't plants, and certainly not Fungi (a wholly different kingdom!) that said, sole cells in humans do indeed have a bigger ploidy than the regular 2n (eg. Megakaryocytes). But just saying that bigger ploidy=bigger organism is like saying more food=bigger organism, so if we just force feed them continuesly we'll have a race of giants to strike fear in the hearts of our enemies (or a bunch of morbidly obese people, whatever).

But yeah, with sufficient biochem tinkering/spess magic application, a race of abnormally large human(oid) infants should be possible in ER.

Do you guys think I can use exclusively bubble gum rounds for my shotgun? Or for more practical use, steel ball bearings.
