“Ectogenesis raises a slew of scientific, medical and technical questions, but frankly these pale in comparison with the social, moral, ethical and political challenges the process poses, particularly if it is used by the state to raise population levels without the participation of mothers in baby birthing or parents in child rearing.” #Canada#ArtificialWomb#Reproduction#cdnpoli#Science#Ethics
How to know when you've crossed over to full, freakin' paranoia?? When you read an article like this & immediately envision #Christofascist legislation to grow "abandoned" frozen embryos via artificial wombs so they can become neglected, traumatized kids--oops, I mean properly-educated RW voters. Voila... the next anti-abortion tool. 🤦♀️
And then there is also yet another ethical dimension, that of #fascist#eugenics. Who decides who will live or what will be procreated #IVF and then carried to term by an #ArtificialWomb?
#Humanity has already messed around enough with #evolution. Some combinations of the human #genome might simply not be meant to...
...produce offspring. Once again, humankind is attempting to play God.
I hardly ever say this, but no, humanity and Earth do not only need this new technology, quite the opposite is true: any such scientific endeavor to create an #ArtificialWomb should be strictly prohibited and severely punished.
I am under no illusion that my opinion will be influential enough to become mainstream.
I am very sorry to hear about your personal loss. I've experienced similar, but even so, I'm saying this.
This #ArtificialWomb has the potential to be a human-destiny changing technology, but from a population perspective, not in a good sense. This is why it should be left alone.
Oh, and no, you are not being paranoid at all: this tech is a cleat and present danger even in politically more moderate circumstances.
With a potential fascist takeover in the US in 2025, it becomes dangerous.
