If a Worldhopper had kids with a native of Nalthis, there's this and this: (they are both in the "it's possible" category, no express confirmation) Quote Chaos If a Lerasium Mistborn traveled to, say, Nalthis, fell in love and had kids with a native Nalthian, would those kids be Allomancers? Or something else? Brandon Sanderson In most cases, they would still be Allomancers. Mixed, potentially, with something else depending on the native innate investiture. That mixture could do some strange things, though. Quote Shardlet If a Scadrian allomancer had a baby with a Nalthian (and the baby was born on Nalthis), could the baby have an original Breath and also be a Natural allomancer? Brandon Sanderson It could happen, the baby would have a bit of Preservation and a bit of Endowment. If an already pregnant Worldhopper gave birth on Nalthis, we don't know because of this: Quote Question In Nalthis, when is Breath first bestowed upon a person? I’m wondering if mothers have [another Breath in their bodies during pregnancy? source of Breath in their bodies? Much [control?] over their own bodies when it comes to Breath? - uncertain] Is that where it comes from? Brandon Sanderson When is Breath first bestowed? Uh, so I will, oh, so you’re getting at this sort of… I got it. [laughter, pause] So, what you’re saying is, birth or conception? Yes. Uh, I’m going to go ahead and RAFO that one for… let’s just let it… let’s let… let’s let the fanbase discuss that one and come to their own decisions. Until we know if breath is bestowed at birth or conception, we can't answer your question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknopathetic he/him Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I think when a pregnant mother dies in brave fashion (or whatever), that mother is allowed to return either herself of the baby. This is why we sometimes get returned babies. What this says about the soul/breath I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Extesian he/him Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 This doesn't help much, but Quote Q: From which stage of development does human embryo on Scadrial gain Hemalurgic potential? A: Conception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we sometimes get returned babies. I'm pretty sure that Returned babies are stillborn and then Return. I don't think the mother actually dies, as Susebron remembers his biological mother, and Bluefingers (and/or the Court) would believe that she bears the next God King if she got pregnant. That doesn't really imply dying in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "Q: If you cloned someone using real life technology (so not magic) would they have a normal Cognitive and Spiritual make up or be something like a Drab? A: Cloning would most likely work like creating a twin--the body would pull Investiture for a soul, and you probably wouldn't have a drab. Though it would be possible to do it in such a way that you did create one, if you're simply working from our current cloning technology, you'd get a fully invested human being." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveLate Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) @The One Who Connects. My reddit-fu is non-existent, so many thanks. I assume the implication is that cloning a drab would result in another drab....

He's referencing it off of current technology, so I believe that cloning anyone, drab or not would create an embryo that is genetically identical to the original. That would then develop in utero and receive its allotted Breath regardless of the amount of Breath or lack thereof that the original had.

That just makes me think of evil baby cloning factories making brainwashed children, teaching then 1 single phrase, then disposing of the bodies. Or spiking them for the breath at the earliest stage possible, to return the breath to the original. Edited June 26, 2017 by FiveLate Continuation.
