Artificial Wombs In the Near Future?
New submitter DaemonDan writes "The first successful pregnancy by IVF was accomplished over 50 years ago, essentially creating a multi-billion dollar industry. Many scientists are trying to take it one step farther with a 100% test tube baby brought to term in an artificial womb. 'Cornell University's Dr. Hung-Ching Liu has engineered endometrial tissues by prompting cells to grow in an artificial uterus. When Liu introduced a mouse embryo into the lab-created uterine lining, "It successfully implanted and grew healthy," she said in this New Atlantis Magazine article. Scientists predict the research could produce an animal womb by 2020, and a human model by early 2030s.' The author of the article seems to believe that birth via artificial wombs could become the new norm, but is it really feasible, desirable or even affordable for the majority of Earth's population?"
But of course, if we grow humans in an artificial womb, they wouldn't really alive until we take them out at the end of the 9-month procedure, right?
How far, exactly, do you think a lot of socialist or peace movements would have gotten without women? Woman always got in the way with her morals and silly empathy. So they need to be routed around -- that's what this is about, and it's ALL this is about. There I suggest murdering every single one of the pathetic fuckers involved in this research, and not in a tongue-in-cheek way either.
Fuck anonymity; I wanna go down in record as someone who said "fuck no" in no unclear terms. I've been expecting this for over a decade, and I'm not surprised in the least; just disappointed about the lack of killing so far. Get on it.
