So by your logic, fatherhood isn't real. Only motherhood is real.
I am talking about the implications of creating humans unethically in ways that would upend society as we know it.
Denying our strong familial bounds due to pregnancy and raising our biological offspring is silly. I am not saying fatherhood isn't real or that people can't adopt.
Why is a family deciding to use a robotic womb "unethical"? What's the difference between a robot surrogate and a human one?
You seem to be thinking they're just going to pop out babies into the orphan factory and raise them like spare parts.
What family would get to use a robotic womb!? This type of technology would be reserved for the wealthy. The wealthy would likely create a genetically altered human baby to be super smart and resistant to disease.
How many humans are you comfortable killing to develop this technology? How many more humans get to suffer being created as orphans without a real family.
What I think is irrelevant. What the market will demand when we can create human life with the flip of a swotch will be another thing. Creating super soldiers, organ donors, human lab experiments, creating a slave caste, etc. will definitely be on the table.
If you haven't thought of these implications that is on you boo.
