Who else here has, in past, heard a song on the radio or elswhere and entered some of the lyrics into to Google to find out what it was? The RIAA is really shooting themselves in the foot here. How can you buy a song you heard if you don't know the name/artist? Lyrics sites are invaluable for that. The RAII should be glad they're out there.
This technology, along with sperm banks and all of the other crazy fertility treatments only further to make men obsolete and redundant. That's where this is really heading. And unbelievably, it's male scientists like Professor Karim Nayernia (mentioned in the article) who are bringing this about. You'd have a lot of trouble finding female scientists willing to work on artificial wombs. Thay'd say it's "unnecessary" or "inhuman" and would oppose it at every turn. Women are smart enough to realize how much social and legal power gestation gives them and they wouldn't do anything to marginalize that. Yet here we have male scientists trying to find as many ways as possible for women to get pregnant without men.
Shouldn't these male scientists be trying to make women obsolete instead? Where are the artificial wombs and fembots? No, better that lesbians be able to produce more lesbians without help from a pesky, inferior male.
