      Or, you know, not put mothers through the painful, dangerous, and potentially lethal ordeal known as pregnancy.

        Ah yes, break the bonds that bind family and ultimately society together to “protect women”. It is only lethal in places with shitty medical car…okay I see where you are going with this.

          break the bonds that bind family

          Nine months in utero counts for more than your first 18 years of life?

          I’ll need to break my adopted brother the terrible news

            There is a lot that happens in utero. Sharing the mother’s immune system, learning the voice of the mother and people around them, not to mention the various hormonal changes that prepare the mother physically and psychologically to care for an infant.

            Pregnancy can be dangerous but we really need to be careful whenever we introduce new medical technology.

            Sorry to break reality to you and him.

            Also, we are talking about an artificial womb so you wouldn’t have a mother.

              If even a grain of what you said was true, people wouldn’t adopt. Birth doesn’t bind a family together. Love and work are what bind a family together.

              If it was like you said we wouldn’t have parents who starve their kids.

              You’re a yucky person.

      Hopefully some bright mind will be able to merge this with the crushing machine and we can enter a new golden age of technology.
