You say "cannot" but the TV show says otherwise, as it's
happened and been seen to happen on-screen... so the TV show
takes priority over your opinion. So, there's no such thing
as cannot when IT DID!!!

He cannot get his head around the notion that Time Lords are

human concerns is beyond him.

That’s assuming they even have a solution. Biological beings

Aggy’s argument is like saying humans “cannot” fall down stairs

And yet, stairs exist and people do sometimes fall down them.
And, yes, unborn fœtuses can sometimes die.

But, yeah, there are also plenty of possible fictional

Maybe Time Lords lay eggs instead of getting pregnant. Or
maybe male-presenting Time Lords are actually hermaphrodites.
Or maybe pregnancy releases a hormone that blocks sex-changing
regenerations.

I suggested these possibilities to Aggy in the past, but he
rejected them all because humans aren’t hermaphroditic
egg-layers with regeneration-controlling hormones. So Time
Lords aren’t!

 Yeah, I certainly think the lines between reality and fiction
are a bit blurred in his head... he can't seem to grasp that an
alien in a fictional TV show can do whatever a specific writer
wants them to do.

No, Blueshirt, we are NOT discussing a "fictional TV show". The TV show *IS* , indeed, *FACT* but its content is fictional much like for 'Midsomer Murders' or 'Corrination Street' or, indeed, for 'Casper, the Friendly Ghost'.

 I mean, that's why it's called fiction.
