Ovum items are harvested from live female [[human]]s older than 16 and with a [[Reproduction#Fertility|Fertility]] stat greater than 0%. This is done through the "Extract ovum for IVF" [[surgery]], which requires the [[Research#Fertility procedures|Fertility Procedures]] research. This requires 1x [[herbal medicine]] or better. Ovum can be extracted from [[prisoner]]s.
 
  
After extracting an ovum, it will not be possible to extract another for the next 10 days. A pawn's health tab will show how many days it will take before the next ovum can be extracted.

Ovum items are harvested from live female [[human]]s through [[surgery]].  This bill requires 1 of any type of medicine to perform. Ova can only be extracted from fertile pawns, meaning those whose fertility is greater than 0%.  Pawns must be over 16 years old to have an ovum extracted. It is possible to extract an ovum from a prisoner. Once extracted, the ovum can be fertilized by a fertile male pawn. It is not possible for a prisoner to fertilize an ovum.<br>

After extracting an ovum, it will not be possible to extract another for the next ten days. A pawn's health tab will show how many days it will take before the next ovum can be extracted.
  
 
== Summary ==
 
== Summary ==
Ovum items can be fertilized by a controllable (i.e. [[colonist]] or [[slave]]{{IdeologyIcon}}), fertile male pawn in order to create an [[embryo]]. Select the pawn, and right click on the ovum to start fertilization. This always succeeds if [[Fertility]] is greater than 0. Male prisoners cannot fertilize an ovum. The embryo will have [[gene]]s dependent on who the mother and father are.
 
 
Ova do not rot or spoil over time; they only [[deteriorate]] when left outside.
 
  
 
== Analysis ==
 
== Analysis ==
Embryos are generally superior to natural pregnancy, once [[growth vat]]s are available. Embryo growth only takes 9 days rather than 18 days for pregnancy. More importantly, natural pregnancy has a [[Reproduction#Outcomes|small chance to kill]] the mother. This comes at the cost of increased food uptake (6 [[nutrition]] / 9 days vs. 18 days of +30% nutrition), [[power]], and the medicine used to extract the ovum. These costs are usually affordable by the time you can build growth vats in the first place.
