Yeah, and I am in medical school. You're acting like an edgy child, and your english is quickly becoming incomprehensible. The argument from a biological standpoint that females couldn't be turned into Astartes doesn't hold water. I hope you find yourself soon.
well that reasoning that you made just now put us on the same level, put im defentig sshit since i am a nondesexual. and fuck
Wait, you're listing your biological expertise as "you got an A in highschool biology?" Am I reading that right?
With enough time, resources, and the right minds it is possible. The problem is that you seem to need the Emperor, and he's busy either with the Great Crusade, his pet project in the bowels of the Palace, fighting the Heresy, or being half-dead on the Golden Throne trying to hold the declining Imperium together! The Primarchs living Genetic material, which is necessary for this, is no longer available for most of the Heresy and after as the Alpha Legion tainted the only vial of all 20 samples, then stole it. The Scientists that could do it, are no longer available after the Heresy and Mechanicum civil war. Even the scientific resources may no longer be available. And as for the monetary cost..... Well the Imperium may not be able to meet it. Turning a female into an Astartes, using normal male-specific Gene-seed does have significant hurdles to overcome. Hurdles of such significance that some of us say that you might as well start from scratch. The Ossmodula uses the process of bone remodelling to add the ceramic compounds to the structure of the bones, increasing their strength and durability. And as I pointed out earlier, Ceramics are strong in compression. The Krebs cycle refers to one of the processes that takes place in cell mitochondria, and is linked to respiration. But one of the Astartes implants is the Haemastamen which as part of its functions alters the constituent make-up of the recipient's blood, making it considerably more efficient than ordinary human blood. I was always taught that the Diaphragm is mainly responsible for your breathing. And it lies at the bottom of the ribcage. So how would a fused ribcage limit breathing, if it is the diaphragms responsibility? That's your opinion, and it is possible such a physique does not meet the requirements the Emperor had when he was constructing the first Space Marines. Men is the Plural for Man. And Man can mean as in Mankind, or as in a Male person. Most likely in this case the latter, not the former. You're right. The thing is, would a Female Astartes be as giant, as freakish, or as strong as their male counterparts? And one out of three doesn't count. @Grall_Stonefist thank you, and lets hope us agreeing isn't one of the signs of the Apocalypse! If you mean Men as in Mankind, you'd be wrong. If you mean Men as in human, you'd be right as they have moved beyond that. But if you mean Men as in Male, you'd definitely be wrong. They most assuredly are male, and the background states that.
Gene-seed turns a boy into an Astartes. The Canis Helix can, as a side-effect, turn a person into a wolf, an Astartes into a Werewolf, or an Astartes into a very big wolf! The Canis Helix was used on Fenris by the various waves of colonists, before the Imperium was formed and probably before even the Age Of Strife. Which means it could be pre-20K! What part of that do you not understand? No. But it might give you an olfactory system the equivalent of a canines. But thank you for backing me up on the Werewolf thing and Russ. As there's no way his genes are responsible for Wulfen or Fenrisian Wolves. From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic If they can use such Ceramic coatings to bond implants to bone, why can't a future scientist come up with a compound that both bonds to and strengthens bone? Because that's what the Emperor did! Well apparently you need to bone up on biology as well. No pun intended.
The intercostal muscles attach to the ribs, allowing them to lift and expand, aiding in inhalation. Clearly not a member of the magos biologis.
I get it. It's just kinda ridiculous. Like the organ systems of a space marine. But its cool, so who cares. Naw, it would most likely turn you into something looking like some sort of chaos spawn (or rejection and death). Thing is you, what you quoted is hydroxyappetite, which is what bones are normally made up with. They coat the implants in bone mineral to increase the acceptance of the implant. After looking it up though there are some pretty neat possibilities that I haven't hear of. Zirconium seems like a decent option. (Although, I assume that would reduce the amount of room for bone marrow, which I guess could be overcome by just giving immune/blood cells through something something, but still, its another issue that requires another solution). Plus its another one of those things where, how do you get the zirconium to naturally deposit into the bone matrix, which messes with calcium reabsoprtion, which really fucks muscle activation , and which messes phosphorous excretion, which also screws up gastro uptake of stuff. And all that is the same for males and females which is why I think anything you come up with that is gonna change a male into an astartes is gonna be the same for a female.
Well it is possible that we are reading it wrong. Could mean that like Segmented Armour, the inter-laced bone plates can flex and move enough to allow the chest cavity to expand and contract as part of an Astartes breathing function. You mean just like those glow in the dark Rabbits that have Jellyfish DNA? Well they do implant 19 Gene-Seed organs into a candidate to turn them into an Astartes. With the Skeleton it is mainly the processes of Epiphiseal Fusion and Ossification that are usurped/utilised. But I have been mainly talking about Hormones being the stumbling block to using normal, un-altered Gene-seed to create Female Astartes. And you can probably tell me better than I can tell you how dangerous Hormone imbalances and deficiencies can be.
There are a few muscles that aid in respiration besides just the diaphragm. (but then you just solve that with "superior" hemoglobin. Or some shit. Oxygen in the lungs already binds really well, maybe lower pH in the periphery to increase delivery? Its just kind of a mess. ha. Now that segmented ribs would require a cartilaginous layer in order to keep from developing the worst case of arthiritis I can imagine. I think reducing intercostal space would also reduce maneuverability too. Those rabbits express a single extra protien. 1. GFP. Pretty cool though. Completely agree about the hormone imbalance thing, but the genetic difference between a male and a female is not really that much. Half the population is automatically excluded from Astartes recruitment if it is developed just using the male instead of using the human approach (again, my argument is that it is just as possible male only, not that it actually occured). Is there any lore about geneseed in females? BUT my argument against the human approach is that the emprah would have developed them through thunderw warriors or whatever piece meal, making it a far more trial and error. But egh whatever haha. 1 edit: as bad as hormone imbalances can be, genetic alterations are by far way worse.
