I’m all for synthetic wombs to replace surrogate labor (assuming we can identify and fully replicate the important parts of the experience). The real problem is the 18-year 24/7 startup that’s always on the brink of failing. We need robots or tribes. The nuclear family is busted.

Disparities in economic success between men and women are far larger once marriage+children enter the picture. Synthetic wombs would remove the high burden of pregnancy, significantly reducing the inequality. vox.com/2018/2/19/1701

You don't think that this might have a massive emotional and psychological impact on how mothers relate to their children when they just pop out of a robot in the corner 9 months later instead of literally being carried in the womb for 9 months with the mother experiencing that?

We are animals, with animal instincts, and social and familial structures derived from those instincts. Trying to deviate from and distort and "optimize" those is literal insanity coming from a denial of what we are as human beings.

“18-year 24/7 startup that’s always on the brink of failing” == a child. What you said makes no sense.

Is the nuclear family busted? or is the economy that would normally empower a nuclear families' success busted? seems to me the nuclear family wasn't busted until wages stopped keeping up with productivity. Today, you choose between family or money.

Intentional dismantling. Nuclear family is the strongest bond that holds society together. Dismantling it has allowed all this bullshit the past handful of years
