You really didn't understand the move too well, did you?

It's all in the mind... so no, the physical body wouldn't become pregnant.

You can make up stuff to explain it away. There was a story linked/posted over at slashdot about the physics of the matrix. Some people have too much time. I'm apparently one of them as I read it.

If you get your face punched in the Matrix, you get your face hurt in real life.

But if you get pregnant and have the baby, do your womanly parts bleed in real life?

So if you have the baby, do the computers link up the baby mind of a new harvest with the baby you just gave birth to?

these are some interresting questions Jezo. i'm not really one to try to make sence out of sci-fi, but would like to hear other people thoughts.

as for me, i've never thought about it, so i don't really have an opinion.

It's true that if you die in the Matrix, the shock of the death will cause a real physical death as well... since your body can't survive if your mind dies. And it's true that if you get hurt bad enough, psychosomatically you might start to manifest some of the damage... but it's still all in your mind.

But if you get pregnant and have the baby, do your womanly parts bleed in real life?

Who knows... depends on how the Matrix deals with pregnancy... if it's entirely mental, then no. If they actually inseminate women, then possibly... if births are natural.

So if you have the baby, do the computers link up the baby mind of a new harvest with the baby you just gave birth to?

Yes

You can't get pregnant in the matrix. You can't psychosomatically inseminate yourself. The physical manifestations of injuries are understandable, but pregnancy? I don't think so.

It's possible that the computer inseminate the women to get them pregnant... they do need a host to create humans.

hahaha, nothing like the quote above to start pissing off the loyal followers.

actually i'm sure people get pregent in the matrix, it is supposed to represent the "real world" so there are births and deaths, if you die, you get flushed down the tube, if yer born i'm sure they'll plug some interface cables and such to the infant the life in the matrix will start.

but yea, jezo, plz do watch the movie
