The Global Fertility Industry Seeks To Erase Women From Procreation One Manufactured Egg At A Time
2023-07-24
[The Federalist] The campaign to erase women has officially escalated to leaving them out of the sacred act of reproduction.

For years, researchers, celebrities, and OB-GYNs have touted making babies outside of the bedroom as a novelty attraction available for anyone willing to pay. Millions of test tube babies and a million more frozen embryos later, the global fertility industry has found a new way to create life without a key natural component: women.

The Economist ran a series of articles in "Technology Quarterly" this month advocating for the expansion of assisted reproductive technology to in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), an experimental procedure that involves reprograming adult male stem cells to become usable eggs.

At least one of the stories acknowledges that outsourcing reproduction through existing technology like in vitro fertilization is "failing most women." Already, countries, states, and healthcare facilities are grappling with how to handle ethical, moral, and legal crises like commercial surrogates with cancer and gay men who want taxpayers to fund the creation of motherless children.

As biotechnologists ramp up their fantasies about facilities filled with artificial wombs, dehumanizing "gene editing," and now, fabricated female gametes, concerns about technology outpacing our humanity should be high.

The solution the British publication repeatedly prescribes to its readers, however — speeding up technical advancements to meet the rapidly growing desire of infertile or sexually incompatible adults to have children — falls prey to one of the biggest scams sold by the multi-billion dollar babymaking business.

#7  ^ Yeah, there's a Constitutional amendment I could go for: No legislative crap sandwiches. Every law can have one purpose only, not a pinata of unrelated stuff. No more log rolling.

#1  OK !!! taking this into Sci-fi realm .
Which some social idiot usually tries to replicate after the movie/book comes out. Or those seeking power & $$$$$$$$$$


IF an Uber Rich Elite Business Class or had their minions in government spike the food supply with a contraceptive or develop a mandatory VAX.

Then the Government could grow and train its own citizens and in 3 to 4 generations we'll have basically the Clone Wars narrative.

So who will be Darth Vader?
