HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE??? Iāve already had my kids and got a vasectomy. It would be so good to have photos like these hanging on the walls for when my boys bring home partners.
Yeah you donāt do an MRI without reasons, thats probably why (very safe but less so compared to ultrasound). Also you get the live images with ultrasound I donāt think thatās standard with those big MRI systems.
Thereās no danger for an mri unless youāve had major surgery involving metal inplants. Thereās no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.
Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.

So more dangerous than ultrasound. US is probably the safest thing there is.
There are a couple other dangers (metal particles in the eye, idiots bringing metal things with themā¦) but also itās not covering the same thing as us. Also more expensive etc etc.

Exactly. MRI machine is a big, expensive, in-demand thing. Ultrasound is cheap, quick and easy.
Though tbf I think this meme demonstrates that we need to lower the cost of MRIs.

The whole trial probably should never have happened. Star Fleet implicitly accepted Dataās self determination by accepting his application to the Academy. Plus, if Maddox thought positronic nets werenāt a giant leap in artificial consciousness, why would he be so interested in Data at all?
The legal issues overlap with some of the philosophical issues. Thereās a long history of investigation into intelligence and consciousness, and none of it is on display in the episode. Itās not even a very good introduction to the topic.
This is rather important to todayās issues with AI. While I think current AI tech is vastly overhyped, some of the popular arguments against it are just bad.

Right? Iāve always thought delving into the nuance of sentience and the potential legal conundrums posed by dated views and laws in that scope was absolutely peak Trek. Itās about ethics and morality, and figuring out how to do the best you can, and afford sentience the respect that it universally deserves, with the knowledge that you currently have at hand. Itās actually something of a trope in the ST universe. Literally every series in the franchise has at least one ācourtroomā episode. While theyāre not all great, I think itās a good tradition to uphold.

FWIW, I think the memes do the character too much credit. Not that heās badly written; far from it. Rather, heās a shit warrior who pretends his political ambitions are honorable. Without going into spoilers, thereās a little dialog scene late in DS9 that lays out how the Klingon Empire is not living up to its own values, people like Gowron are the reason, and Gowron himself needs to be gutted yesterday.

My biggest complaint with how the Gowron character was written was his final battle with Worf. He fought honorably with a Batāleth. From everything weāve seen about Gowron earlier in his presentation, he should have fought dirty, and with knives.

Just be aware there are some high highs, but also low lows. And some of the lows have aged kiiinda poorly. But overall, Iād say ST is super fun, and also generally holds true to the humanist (sentient-istā¦?) vibe that TOS established and that TNG (imo) perfected.
Kelvinverse is just an action movie series though, and it canonically exists as a forked timeline, so you are free to outright ignore those in terms of lore (no not that one) if you want to.

So you know those laws in some states where women need to be shown an ultrasound of the fetus before getting an abortion? Letās switch those to an MRI.

There doesnāt seem to be an indication of how far along this is. An embryo turns into a fetus at 10 weeks. Stupid healthline says the brain left and right halves of the brain donāt develop until the third trimester. At that point abortion is reserved for severe birth defects and such.
