[Biology] The umbilical cord: is it 'necessary' to sever it, or is it designed to disconnect on its own eventually? - eviltoast

What are the consequences of not severing it? I imagine you’d have the weirdest bellybutton on earth if nothing else.

Cheers!

    I’m sorry you’re getting downvotes. I’m betting the bulk are because you’re in c/askscience saying you don’t have any evidence to support your question, but that’s kinda the whole reason to ask a question. You weren’t speculating in a top level comment so I think it’s rude to be downvoting. As far as I can tell you’re asking genuine questions which is kinda the whole point of this community. Fuck the haters, ask questions when you’re curious!

      Thanks, I appreciate it. I’ll avoid this community for now, but maybe in the future I’ll try again.
