Byronia, a small planet that orbits a sun near ours, has a humanoid population similar to our own. The most striking difference is that Byronians come in three sexes: male, female, and hermaphrodite. Since hermaphrodites have both male and female organs, they can perform as either sex and also bear children. Whenever a "mother" (female or hermaphrodite) gives birth, the probability that the child is male, female, or hermaphrodite is exactly one-third for each. The new Supreme Ruler of Byronia, Darth Mobility, is a virile, hot-tempered male who gained total power by defeating a rebellious army of hermaphrodites. To solve the "hermaphrodite problem" Mobility has issued the following decree: Every mother on Byronia, as soon as she or it gives birth to a hermaphrodite, is to be rendered incapable of further conception. Darth Mobility reasoned like this. Some mothers are sure to have two, three, four, or even more male and female children before giving birth to a hermaphrodite. True, occasionally, a mother will have a hermaphrodite first child, but that will be the end of her childbearing, so these births will contribute only a small percentage of hermaphrodites to the population. In this way the proportion of hermaphrodites in the population will steadily diminish. Will Darth Mobility's plan work? GOOD LUCK!!!!  _______________ One Day, it will all end. |

Quote: No, it won't work. The normal females still have 1/3 of a chance to give birth to a hermaphrodite. So if a normal female gives birth to 2 other normal ones before giving birth to a hermaphrodite, those 2 normal ones still have 1/3 of a chance of giving birth to one. Then the hermaphrodites have the same chance of giving birth to one. So the hermaphordite population will steadily stay the same, if not increase.

no, the hermaphrodite gene is left in teh gene pool, sterilising the mother does not solve it as the hermaphrodite gene is logically carried by the father as the mother can only have X chromasomes. in addition, the hermaphrodites are left in teh population. _______________ Joined 16 October 2004 | Retired 10 April 2005 | Returned 05 June 2008 | Made Staff 27 June 2008 | Made Council 18 January 2009 Padawan To Odan-Wei Belouve | Adopted into the Belouve family | Twin to xAnAtOs | Owner of the 4th Quesi sexy badge Brother To Roan Belouve, Nomad, Majno, Silkmonkey, Kensei and Jarhok Belouve
