You are not required to buy a data plan. They only heavily advertise subsidized phones that include the data plan and beat you over the head with "DATA PLAN IS REQUIRED FOR FULL USE OF FEATURES!!!" You may be able to buy a partially subsidized phone with a contract extension and just not get a data plan. I did that with T-Mobile already and just use Wifi. I pay only for voice and a few text messages.

Nobody will tell you this. The website doesn't say it, and the store employees don't say it. They even say the opposite. I rolled the dice with a purchase online, and I do get WiFi and don't pay for a data plan. I could have gotten an additional $50 rebate on the price of the phone if I chose the data plan, however.

Isaac Asimov saw the day coming when man would not be smart enough to design the next version of a computer. The computer would have to design its own successor, each supremely more powerful and yet smaller than the last. Extrapolating this trend over many iterations, the computer becomes uniquely supreme in power and omniscience. But we have a different word for that.

A classic only a few pages long and worth a read, The Last Question, by Isaac Asimov.

Goat gestation period are around 150 days.
Ibex is around 165 days.

Even if you take a healthy Ibex mother and remove the fetus after 150 days, it will have similar lung disability. Lungs being the last thing to develop in a fetus, if you chop off the last few days of fetal development, you're sacrificing lung function. They won't work at 100%, and they'll be way more sensitive to any agitation. It seems to me like a better approach would be to find an animal with a equal OR LONGER gestational period. I don't mean for Ibexes in particular; it just makes sense for any mammal. Try a mountain goat: 180 day average gestation period. Just make sure you bust the little guy out two weeks early.

If humans go extinct and you implant human DNA into a bonobo, you're putting something that takes 280 days to cook into an oven with a 230 day timer. No, it won't be fully cooked when the thing dings - the lungs especially. Premature human babies do survive that young, but we've had a long time and lots of money poured into finding ways to make that happen.

See this is why I come to Slashdot - people getting burned with educated, concise responses.
