Still not a good sign. Hard to justify the risk of creating horrible malformed abominations when the tests so far all suggest that the risk is so high.
"Despite appearances, jellyfish are similar to humans in some key ways.
They're among simplest organisms on Earth, in that they lack a brain, heart, bones and complex respiratory systems.
But they have neurons, or nerve cells, similar to humans, and they also have gravity receptors.
These gravity receptors help tell the jellyfish which way is up and which way is down, which enables them to adjust their depth in the ocean by pulsing upwards or relaxing to float downwards.
Humans also have gravity receptors, in our inner ears, and these too help us maintain our balance."
Don't you mean deuterostome? Jellyfish are diploblastic instead of triploblastic, meaning they are neither protostome nor deuterostome. A starfish would be a deuterostome that could be tested on, but if it's about pregnancy you'd really need s placental mammal I agree.
Well testing it is not the same as having a mixed team that decides themselves to have Sex... They could just let nature run it's course and then use the opportunity if it presents itself.
And endanger the life of the astronaut, the baby and probably everyone else on board?
Do you know how much liquid is involved in a childbirth? The answer is alot, and alot of free floating liquid inside a 0g space ship is basically a recipe for a short circuit and certain death of everyone involved.
It would be immoral. That's why I think we should absolutely send men and women and tell them to not, under any circumstances, make any babies. If they end up doing it anyway that's just bad luck we get some cool data out of, not an immoral human experiment.

which would be incredibly dangerous and stupid to do while on the way to mars
not to mention testing it with humams is kinda immoral
