So, hear me out here, there is a huge reproduction crisis out there. In theory, you could try to replicate this study without the researcher being an asshole and see if it still works out and this would be a valuable line of research that could technically get funded.

I'm going to need a decent ship, some volunteers, and a 101 day supply of daiquiris.

Edit: (For clarity - this is scientific reproduction, not human reproduction)

Turns out humans are one of those animals that don't breed well in captivity, and alot of us are starting to realize we're captives.

Scientific reproduction, not sexual reproduction XD

Fair, but I think given the intention of the study being discussed, my comment is still pretty valid. 😁

There is no reproduction crisis. There may be challenges where you live, but, well...

Scientific reproduction, as in reproduction of a study XD

I mean... a daiquiri-fueled government-funded cruise would absolutely do both kinds of reproduction

Honestly, Africans are superior to all others.
