We don’t want this creepy incel future. You know what would improve birth rates, maternal mortality rates and be MUCH cheaper? Universal healthcare. Paid parental leave. Affordable childcare.

And, of course, all of this dystopian technology will be used to further harm women & queer & trans people. If they don't need women for baby-making, what will men do with us? And if they can eradicate queer & trans people ... trust me, they will.

Yes... but that would improve outcomes for everyone! They don't want that, only for those who can afford it and have the status. (Also with a subtext of the Übermensch that the Nazis were doing, see point 3, embryo editing, GATTACA was meant to be warning against gene editing not a how to!)

Considering that populations should plateau, declining birth rates are exactly what should be expected. When the population was growing exponentially, there were too many. Now that it’s stabilizing, there are too few. But designer babies amiright?

Try to have some compassion for those who need these futuristic procedures to exist in order to have children & reduce the ethical problems with current gamete donation and surrogacy. IVG will allow those that can’t make gametes or those that lost the ability due to cancer to have genetic children.
apr 8, 2025, 4:32 am • 2 0 • view
Artificial uteruses are a bit of a stretch but will allow gay couples to have children (totally genetically related via IVG) without depending on surrogacy. Stop viewing this thru the techbro lens of population growth and think about it helping people. And with universal healthcare it can help all.

These lunatics are campaigning to remove the need for women in making babies! AND mass eugenics in that they want "1,000's" of embryos to "select from"! What happens to the other 999 embryos that wouldn't equate to the abortion narrative they push now? This is a genocide dream
