Your mother gives birth to you. She doesn’t just donate genetic material. She carries you inside her for 9 months before pushing you out and holding you as you take your first breathe. This is the way it has been for millions of years.
What people are proposing is breaking that human cycle. Eliminating the investment of time body and soul into the next generation. Pretending this wouldn’t have significant impacts on our society is farcical. Population could literally be controlled by whoever has the money.
We would also likely end up in a Gattaca situation because who would want to spend the money on a defective baby. Crispr babies raised by the government or corporations doesn’t sound like a future I would look forward to.
are you just pretending adoption doesnt happen or what? or caesarians, surrogate mothership or testtube babies? Or are you speculating without any evidence that just being born like this would instil irriversible lifelong trauma? Speficially what about this do you think will crash society besides vague personal feelings of ick?
Do you not realize that an artificial womb still uses a fertilized human egg? Like, genetically, there’s still two human parents.
It’s not like someone is going to fuck a robot and get it pregnant.

So by your logic, fatherhood isn’t real. Only motherhood is real.

Did I say adoption didn’t happen. No.
How does cesarian section have anything to do with artificial wombs!? It doesn’t.
Is a surrogate anything like a test tube baby that no longer requires a human to give up their bodily autonomy to make. No.
Would be being born from a test tube in our current society be traumatic. Most likely.
Who will be able to have test tube babies. Not the poor!
What if someone decides to make a clone of themselves to harvest organs. Likely scenario.
What if someone gets your genetic material and makes a baby without your permission. Ethical issues abound.
How many human lives will be lost trying to perfect this technology. Countless.
Why doesn’t this idea give you the ick? You are incredibly naive.
