"The replicators themselves avoid needing replacement parts. They're designed for extreme robustness and redundancy," says Linya. "But, yes - in order to be adopted they couldn't even be just as good at growing a tiny human without letting the exterior environment do the tiny human any harm as the human body is. The human body isn't actually very good at that, although most miscarriages in populations that do body-birth are far too early to notice. A replicator has to get it right pretty much every single time from zygote all the way to decanting in order to look like a good idea."
