Cage 1

The Female Specimen

It has replicating DNA
It has learnt that It's alive
It has realised that It will die

It masturbates
It menstruates when fertile
It has grown fully-functioning breasts

It produces eggs
It has internal sex organs
It is penetrated by a male during copulation

It squats to urinate
It is able to become pregnant
It develops emotional survival skills

It possesses willpower
It clings to infantile belief systems
It understands Its world through an innate love

It has learnt that It’s alive
It has realised that It will die

It masturbates
It cannot menstruate
It has underdeveloped breasts

It produces sperm
It has external sex organs
It penetrates a female during copulation

It stands to urinate
It cannot become pregnant
It  develops physical survival skills

It possesses willpower
It clings to infantile belief systems
It understands Its world through an innate violence

 

Cage 3
The Cross-gender Specimen

  Cage 4
The Artificial Specimen

Without replicating DNA
Without an awareness of time
Without an awareness of space

Without volition
Without an organic nature
Without any emotional or physical survival skills

Without willpower
Without the ability to believe or disbelieve
Without the ability to develop a human understanding
