What ABOUT the baby? What have I not thought of? That embryos and zygotes and fetuses get off on harming their bearers? What exactly is your argument?

This is exactly what
@Eristae was talking about, the idea that separation from their "real mother" causes irreparable harm to adopted children Which is a much more relevant and emotionally fraught conversation than this horseshit that we'll all wake up in Huxley's dystopia1 reply 2 retweets 21 likes -

No - he compared growing kids in vats to adoption. Not really the same.

Why is it not the same, specifically, and what evidence do you have for this distinction that isn't made up by a science fiction writer

Why is adoption (where the baby spends 9 months IN UTERO) different from a baby grown in vats? Are you fucking serious now?

That's the result of specific things happening to the fetus, yes, literally not being fed enough nutrients, or being exposed to high amounts of cortisol Not really the same thing as what he's implying

I mean, why is this a bad thing about the artificial wombs Artificial wombs can't forget to take prenatal vitamins, or drink too much wine, or get in a car accident

That's kind of the whole point, pregnancy right now is an absurdly oppressive experience for many people because of people demanding you avoid anything that could possibly harm the fetus, including a lot of stuff based on guesswork and crackpottery

Maybe it would be liberating if the whole process of human reproduction didn't depend on an adult human being spending nine months not being able to drink, eat overly processed food, eat food that isn't processed enough, watch TV with violence and swear words, etc

Was I supposed to be restricting my tv? Too late now. Kid's 11 and still hates the "scary" shows I like.
