Original Title: TIL about the “Rabbit Test,” a human pregnancy test created in 1931. It involved injecting urine from a woman into a female rabbit. If the rabbit’s ovaries showed enlargement upon dissection, it indicated the woman was likely pregnant, with about a 98% certainty. This was utilized until the 1970s.

I recall a MASH episode involving this method and that’s how I learned about it. Radar was trying to save the rabbit from the procedure.
