    We got like 8 billion people on the planet already. This is a solution to a problem that simply doesn’t exist.

    Also, image what little Jimmy is gonna think when he finds out he was grown in a laboratory. Little Jimmy is gonna go fucking insane…

      Little Jimmy won’t give a fuck how he was born unless we give him shit about it. And believe it or not, people who have enough money to afford artificial wombs do not contribute to overpopulation.

        Elon Musk has 11 children, but aside from that, that’s an ominous thing to read. What are the downsides of overpopulation? Overconsumption of resources/overburdening the environment, both of which people who are rich enough to afford artificial wombs do more than the rest of us. Even more unfortunate, wealth is a largely heritable trait

          Elon Musk would be able to pay as many women as he’d like to have his spawn, so artificial wombs to people at his level are irrelevant.

            Lots of women could be cool with an artificial womb, but not surrogacy , so I could see it being the difference for one of his kids or for the many, many people with obscene wealth and high consumption.

    “Here’s what you need to know”

    Shit, you make it sound like it’s compulsory or something. Are they gonna go around just shoving wombs into people?
