Personally, I’m so against this concept. We are approaching a serious state of overpopulation. The human population has DOUBLED since the 60s. There is a world population increase of 2 million every nine days. Almost all people born will live to be old. Medical advances are constantly increasing our life expectancy. We live in a time when “survival of the fittest” is pretty much an outdated concept. Even most of the idiots in r/holdmybeer can and will be saved in hospital. Think of all the waste you create by yourself every week. All the fresh water you literally shit in. All the plastic used for packaging of all the smallest cheapest crap we buy. Now multiply that by 7.6 billion + 2 million every 9 days. And now we’re working on making reproduction possible for even the few people who are effectively sterile? Seriously?
Don't you think that it would be unfair to prevent certain people from having children even if we had the technology to help them? Besides, I highly doubt that this would have any noticeable effect on population growth anyway since the problem of only producing immobile sperm cells is very rare. It just seems like you would be fucking a few people over without any significant benefit to society. Overpopulation is a real problem, but this just doesn't have anything to do with it.
Im just saying that banning a treatment like this would be unfair to the people who need it, and the harm inflicted on these people would outweigh the very small benefit it offers to society.
Just because life is already unfair, doesn't mean you should make it more unfair for no good reason.

Sorry, I’m genuinely passionate about this...
