like if artificial gestation was just the regular way of things, would maybe explain why padme didn't know she was pregnant?
-
she does know she's pregnant, people generally understand what the baby bump means, Qui-Gon asks Shmi "Who's the father"
-
all points to conventional gestation and childbirth being the norm

Clone tech seems to be proprietary, so maybe the Kaminoans specifically keep it out of the hands of human women who would benefit?
-
all along the REAL evil of the Empire was copyright law
-
patents excuse me smh
-
I think it's terrible either way and the Republic/Empire is probably at fault, but maybe the Kaminoans are just garbage and hate humans -
(Sorry, I should've clarified: I was only ever referring to the cloning aspect. I agree 1000% with the article and think it's amazing.)

Meanwhile, far future SF written by uterus haver Lois McMaster Bujold includes "uterine replicators."
-
Amazingly someone who's been pregnant & has kids knows what a big deal gestational units would be.
-
She also has infallible birth control. Again, personal experience is a huge influence.

@sarahjeong Or suppose, Humans can be grown in artificial wombs, but at great cost to their long term welfare. They live only 20 years. -

@sarahjeong Lois McMaster Bujold created something a little like this with Taura. -
But not because of artificial wombs. The series is very much in favor of them.
-
.
@willaful@sarahjeong Right. It's becuz of choices made in genetics and development.

male sci fi. Lois McMaster bujold. First thing created in ... shards of honor? If that was the first

First by publication date, and most recommended place to start. Lots of thoughtful genre takes in them.
