I saw this posted over at /r/slatestarcodex, but it is so wild that it would be a shame to miss it, so I am posting it here. It is a quick read, but the rundown is this:

A 15-year-old girl is involved in a stabbing at a bar, which also involves a boyfriend and ex-boyfriend. What exactly happened is unclear. She has an abdominal stab wound and surgery is performed. She recovers well and is discharged.

Nine months later she is admitted to the hospital again presenting with abdominal pain. It is determined that she is pregnant, but upon further inspection they find that she has vaginal aplasia and can not give regular birth. A caesarean section is performed and a healthy boy is delivered.

But how did she become pregnant in the first place without a functioning vagina? She, of course, was aware of her condition and had been experimenting with other sexual activities. It turns out that shortly before being stabbed by the jealous ex boyfriend, she had practiced fellatio on her new boyfriend. The stabbing apparently allowed the spermatozoa access to the reproductive organs and lead to successful conception.

Absolutely crazy. If it were a movie the audience would have deemed it too implausible for suspension of disbelief. I also love how they casually threw this line in

The young mother, her family, and the likely father adapted themselves rapidly to the new situation and some cattle changed hands to prove that there were no hard feelings.

The modern version of the "son of a gun" myth/story?

Don't worry, there hasn't been that much drift. It was all SBF thinkpieces for a few weeks.

So sperm cells survived stomach acid? Interesting.

reading it, (maybe) starving meant stomache wasnt very acidic bc no acid production + accumulated saliva, and it being her first ovulation meant thickened period blood that couldnt escape bc no vaginal exit didnt block it.
