If a Baby is Born Under Water........

The latest technology says that many women select the way to born baby under water.But the key technology is so hard that few hospitals know.You said the baby can adapt to water instead of air,it is impossible.Baby in belly of women's breath with oxygen,the oxygen in the water is not enough for the baby.

No chance! Babies can be born under water but only for that reason, they cannot live under water. Even if it is possible, how can he relate with other humans? He will not be able to come out of water and live on the surface like us. Life will be total waste for him then.

WOW,I have to say your brain are filled with odd and massive creative imagination! A baby born under water?! How he takes breath? Can he swim ? Whatever,if this circumstance comes true,maybe the bady will become the next talented Michael Phelps! :p

no this is impossible unless a gametic mutation has happened causing the lungs to be able to take oxygen from water. But that is so near impossible it's not funny. The more possible way of this happening would be if environmental conditions changed and the human race again like years ago started to follow natural selection and act like animals so that we gradually converged towards a species that did have a form of gills. This sort of evolution is called convergent evolution if I'm right where different species become more a like due to occupying the same niche. In this case it may be the fact that we need to breathe underwater. I've kind of already answered your question but I love biology so I'm kind taking out all misconception for you :). To relate back to your first question. It is impossible unless a lot of fortunate events over millions of years occured to make a baby that would breathe underwater but by that stage it wouldn't have to be born specifically underwater just to breathe in it. Or maybe we would as our lungs may have become vestigial organs... I could go on for hours. I hope I answered your question.

lol . . . I think it's impossible. The baby would surely die. But let's try testing that to a monkey . . .

As far as I am concerned,the baby who is born in the water will firstly deal well with the circumstance around. And then,followed by the system to which is attributed by the human gene,the baby will naturally breath with its lung~ maybe....

Hmm I always wondered the same thing. It would be pretty cool to have a race of little fish people.

I don't think it's possible. Human body needs oxygen in order to function properly and I don't think that baby's lungs are adjusted to extract oxygen from water. However, I am not sure about that, but at least I haven't heard of any cases of getting adjusted to water. I strongly recommend you to not undertake such experiments in future!

lol, that's the sort of ponderment that I would usually have :) No, the baby wouldnt be able to survive forever without oxygen underwater. It got oxygen from the placenta in the womb so that is why it is able to survive in the uterus, but once in the water, it's just taking in H2O and not actual oxygen and the lungs cannot deal with that alone.

No, I don't think that's possible. A baby being born underwater under certain circumstances. Baby survive in womb due to umbilical cord that attach to their mother. Of course the result would differ if the baby were genetically change and born with gills, not lungs.

What? I don't think that's possible. A baby is human. It does not have gills and his body works like a human, so I think it is going to drown. I don't even know if it is possible for a woman to give birth under water. She's going to drown before the baby comes out.

If that's possible then maybe scientists already do some experiments on that.

Humans are not designed to live underwater and their lungs cannot filter out water so I conclude that you cannot live underwater. If you could though, that would be pretty cool.

Nope. That is just impossible. Babies have lungs, not gills. You will have to create a baby with gills for it to adapt to water.

If a baby is born underwater he might stay for a short period of time but he will definitely die if leave there for many hours. He needs to breath and when you are in the water it's hard to breath. I used to swim in the ocean since our house is near the sea. We would always have a contest with my friend of who can breath or stay long under water and some of my friends can stay ten minuets or five minutes but that's all there is to it. If things will suddenly change like some catastrophe will occur and the world is suddenly filled with water. Many people will surely die and I think if someone will survive then he will be the first human fish to adopt to the water world.
