IMO, this probably *will* happen if/when biotech enables *good* reproductive control. Same w/ meat-eating after cultured meat. Tech progress will increasingly cause more shifts than social progress, but future generations will follow in our footsteps & moralize the shit out of it https://twitter.com/ortoiseortoise/status/981718227209289728 …

Let's just take a moment to describe what "good" reproductive control means. Could it be set at birth to prevent reproduction until a license is obtained? Reproduction related technology leads to dystopian futures very easily.

Something like "immediate personal control over current fertility." Dystopian consequences are always on the table, but it's important to remember that the same kind of concerns led to people actually being imprisoned for distributing the first effective forms of contraceptionpic.twitter.com/C9tYedvoyV

That's great, as long as it's personal, but: Who would have that control over fertility for underage people? The rule: "you can have children but you cannot have sex" does not seem coherent. If person A controls the fertility of person B, it's heavily dystopian IMHO.

Teens don't need parental permission to get or stop taking birth control, and if that doesn't hold then yes, we're veering into dangerous territory. But that could happen today, and it doesn't constitute an argument against current birth control tech
