🧪 Core Concept: Enhanced Embryo Implantation + Genetic Selection
In this episode, the Mad Scientist Supreme continues his unconventional biohacking series, diving into an experimental approach to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and early-stage genetic selection, with DIY flair and a sharp ethical edge.

🩸 Problem with Traditional IVF
Normally, embryos are placed in petri dishes, not in blood-based nutrient solutions.
This misses out on important biocompatible nutrients that the uterus would naturally supply.
🧬 Proposed Biohack: Blood-Supported Growth
1. Fertilized egg is placed into a blood-based solution, ideally from the female donor in mid-ovulation, where hormone levels are optimal.
2. Gelatin mix is added to create a viscous medium supporting development.
3. At the base, a layer of adhesive (super glue suggested) is added.
Why? So when the embryo is ready, this gel-glue slice can be slid into the uterus and glued into place for better implantation.
This solves a common IVF issue: embryos just being “tossed in and hoping” rather than actually attaching to the uterine wall.

🧪 Genetic Screening at the 32-Cell Stage
Once the fertilized egg reaches the blastocyst stage (32 cells):
One cell can be safely extracted for genetic testing.
Inspired by the film Gattaca, the goal is pre-implantation selection of the most genetically viable embryo.
🧠 What to screen for?
Negative traits like:
Predisposition to heart disease
Obesity
Schizophrenia
Selection Process:
Start with ~50 embryos
Test them all
Narrow down to the top 1 or 2 genetically optimal candidates
🔄 This is framed as controlled evolution, maximizing the biological potential of each generation.

💏 Psychological Compatibility Matters Too
The Mad Scientist Supreme notes that parent pairing should also consider psychological traits—not just physical DNA.

This episode blends bold reproductive engineering with:
Biologically inspired solutions for IVF success
A Gattaca-style approach to embryo selection
Theoretical (and ethically hot) concepts for human bio-optimization

⚠️ Disclaimer
While framed as speculative science fiction or radical thought experiment, these ideas provoke serious ethical, legal, and medical questions—not endorsements of real-world implementation.
🧪💡 As always, the Mad Scientist Supreme requests 10% if you make it real.
