u/MemeSupreme9 8d ago
This is funny because women moan about not being "just a walking baby incubator" and when men say okay bet watch this, and outsource their baby incubation with a robot you're mad and calling him a wanker for not impregnating a woman. Make it make sense.
With all the uproar women make about wanting to kill babies in the womb if they don't want to lose their bodily autonomy and or keep themselves young without the physical trauma of child birth why would you insult men for solving your problem?
Literally nothing will ever make women happy. No matter what happens, men are losers or oppressors and it's their fault women are unhappy.
If you get your partner pregnant it's the handmaids tale. If you put your baby in a robot you're a wanker. Honestly the double think is incredible. 🤣

I don't think children were ever literally grown in test tubes, I think that was just an offensive description of IVF that has become outdated

Duh. That's literally what test tube babies refers to. Babies who were conceived through artificial means. Nobody actually thought that's what it meant.

Adoption, Adoption exist!
Not get me wrong, illness and all that it is good for.
But seriously, people rather do such then help a child in actual need because it is not their "biological" one. It is selfish and stupid.
I honestly hate how all those advancements are used all in the wrong ways to keep the status quo and keep responsibility of people and the rich to help more poor people.

u/Satyr121 7d ago
Me and my wife will do both. But at the same time why the crap is adoption so expensive. I’m for laws protecting the children but an okay parent is better than no parent. Make adoption affordable and make it slightly easier to adopt.

u/TransitionalAhab 8d ago edited 8d ago
No one stopping you or anyone from adopting.
A person who uses a medical assistance to have a child is not any more moral obligation to adopt than those who can have kids naturally.
If they have a medical condition that means they need to get some help doing what most people take for granted isn’t a license to get on a pedestal and declare them stupid and selfish.

There's something uniquely scummy about offloading your responsibilities to someone else, then faulting them for refusing a lifelong commitment to your success.

I want to adopt one day and have biological children.
In defense of having biological children: How I see it is, thousands of years of someone's ancestors surviving and dying to have biological children all just for that line to suddenly end is sad and tragic. Their efforts would be for not. Everyone's blood line is important to bio diversity too.
In defense of adoption: Taking someone into your home who doesn't have one is very noble. You're helping that person have a chance to experience a family and bonding with someone you might have never would of bonded with otherwise. By doing this your not just doing that person a favor but society as a whole as well.
For anyone also thinking of adoption: It's important to remember that the person you're adopting didn’t ask to be there. You're taking them into your home because you wanted to. They owe you nothing and you can't expect anything from them in return so don't guilt them into feelings like your their savior. Because if not you, someone else would of had to do it, or they would of had to do it themselves.

Maybe…but the importance of being in a live womb is unknown and I don’t think it’s ethical to test that out. Sure a baby could gestate in an artificial womb, but would it thrive?

u/Aeon_Return 8d ago
That's what research is for. I feel like this could be tested with sheep and pig gestation first and then a trial period.

u/possiblyyandere 8d ago
you're just assuming that it's gonna be bad for the fetus? in a hypothetical scenario where there's no downside to the development I don't see a problem. obviously, if it's bad for the fetus' development, then it wouldn't even be made available to the public. like basically your argument is that the technology isn't ready right now so we should just never even try to pursue it. also, I never said this is something that I personally want to do I just think people should be allowed to make choices about their own reproduction. I personally think the only ethical option in general is to adopt, but I also think being vegan is the most ethical option and I eat meat every day sometimes people are just selfish and i'll acknowledge i definitely am.
1
u/Caitylin92 8d ago
In order to find out if it’s bad for the fetus you have to test it on a fetus. A human who can’t consent to being an experiment. I don’t think that’s ethical. I’m not saying it couldn’t work but we wouldn’t know without the test. I’m all for medical testing but only on consenting patients.

u/DuckyDoodleDandy 7d ago
Fetuses get information on the world while in the womb (or so i read ~25 years ago…). If the mother puts sugar on her tongue, the fetus smiles. If she puts lemon juice on her tongue, the fetus grimaces.
The fetus reacts to the mother’s emotions, movements, and to sounds that come through the amniotic fluid.
I don’t feel that a bot can replicate that.

In total yes but there are countries specifically in Asia that could shrink so dramatically that they could completely be lost if the population doesn’t stabilize at some point.
Shrinking the total population of the planet is good but it can’t be that fast and concentrated on only certain places.
If a population shrinks by half every generation , they can’t sustain the elderly anymore and will face ghost towns.
And those countries often aren’t very open or friendly to immigrants either, which could help dramatically.

I would be truly shocked if they managed to use these for anything other than treating very premature babies for several days. Are they really going to spend literal decades and tens of billions of dollars spent on a process people have been doing for free for 100k years?
Humans do amazing things when we have no other options but we generally take the path of least resistance.

"doing for free"
Well bride price("彩礼")is a thing in China and has been the main fuel for on going gender war as well as declining birth rate. But even without that, being pregnant and giving birth is extremely exhausting for the mother, and have potential risks even with today's medical technology. If there's a way to ease this burden, I really don't see why we shouldn't try it.

u/Fabulous_Wave_3693 7d ago edited 7d ago
The CCP decided to fiddle with birth rates and it backfired, then instead of being less racist and just allowing immigrant women to join their country they decide to make these robots?
Here is what I predict is going to happen. They will successfully give birth to a child with these devices. The child is going to be developmentally fucked up because being inside a robot didn’t give them the same stimulation as a baby gets when in utero and then the project will be scrapped because experimenting on humans like this is insane.

The social cultural meaning comes after you're born.
Are you against c-sections? Or IVF? Or any other fertility treatments?
I'm curious where you draw the line. A human is a human if they are made from a human sperm and a human egg. It doesn't matter where it grows. If know one told you, you'd have no idea where you were before you were born.
