 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON PLANETARY CIVILIZATION HEW-MAN 
 
 BREEDING STRUCTURE OF HEW-MAN SPECIES 
 
 Over the course of 17 malarkians, a team of Galactic xenological researchers visited the Hew-man civilization in 38 separate locations to observe the species' breeding practices. Initial rumors of the primitive practice were grossly understated; not only do the Hew-mans lack rational breeding practices, but they actively engage in behaviors that undermine health, well-being, and social security. 
 
 This was especially shocking to the researchers as the Hew-mans have demonstrated a mastery of flight, space travel, atomic power, and a basic grasp of quantum mechanics. *More importantly, the Hew-mans have imposed rational breeding upon planetary sub-species, but not on themselves*. They will, for example, not allow animals with genetic abnormalities breed. 
 
 This is especially frightful considering the bioloigical structure of the Hew-mans, who have chosen to continue to carry their young *inside themselves*, despite the great danger this poses to both productivity and health. While species with space flight have typically rationalized breeding to allow a fetus to develop inside an egg or other technological vessel, Hew-mans *keep their young inside their females*. The most famous of them *take photographs of their dangerously swollen bellies for widespread distribution via media and are lauded for bravery*. This reinforces a social expectation that females should continue to risk their lives in the pursuit of young children inside them. 
 
 Production of the young is a deeply irrational process. Cursory transmissions of a breeding aid site, PornHub, indicated a species obsessed with practicing procreation without actually succeeding, allocating vast amounts of resources, time, and personnel to public breeding practice. Initially, this was presumed as a method of social control, with PornHub utilized to distract Hew-mans with fewer resources from those who have more resources. However, it is revealed that PornHub is *most* popular with those with the *most* resources, who do not utilize their extra time and resources to find more efficient breeding practices, but instead *reinforce* the dangerous practices that lead to disease, swollen Hew-man bodies, and irrational emotions. 
 
 There is some hope for the Hew-mans however: recently production of an egg-laying device ( known planetarily as an `` Aleyian Egg DIL-do'' ), by which a Hew-man may experience an egg laid inside them, is evidence that the Hew-mans are gropingly moving towards a better form of procreation. Widespread practice with this device may convince the Hew-mans of the superior nature of eggs over swollen bellies. We recommend the dispatch of further teams for education in the use of this device for the Hew-mans, leading up to a full rollout of a permanent egg laying procedure for all Hew-Mans for procreation.
