What if women weren't needed for reproduction?

[crossdressingrihno]

Let's say someone designs a incubator geared specifically toward human children this incubator would have everything needed for a fetus to properly grow.

Keep in mind this is a what if scenario I'm not asking if it is or is not possible I'm asking how you think you and the rest of the world would react if it wound up happening where there was legitimately a artificial womb capable of bearing and producing children.

Now how would you feel if they were able to mass manufacture those children?

Keep in mind there's still children there's still people they have the minds and hearts of people they are genetically people they have all the organs and all that their people they are just people grown from an incubator.

I wonder what all of you think.

They aren't required simply for reproduction, kiddo.

There are artificial wombs and incubators as well as a plethora of other technology. But it's about cost and sensibilities. There just is no way to make sperm and eggs without males and females though.

The costs of reproducing without women is astronomically high. There is cloning, but that has it's own set of additional problems to boot.

People who "want kids" but don't want to adopt tend to go down the cheaper, surrogate route, than go full artificial. Pretty sure some celebrity will cough up the cash some day to go full artificial.

But you can be sure that kid will be dead from embarrassment, or imprisoned for life for killing them.

[crossdressingrihno]

Let's say the technology came around where it actually did become affordable. Because this is a hypothetical situation where such a thing is relatively inexpensive and has been scientifically perfected

[Drumlin2001]

The advertisers for baby products would have to completely rethink their strategies. They seem to think they only mum's buy/use their products. I don't recall seeing an advert for nappies/wipes/baby food with a dad.

[SnakeBoop]

women would still be needed though. artificial wombs don't equal eggs lmao

[crossdressingrihno]

Artificial eggs will probably be able to be made within the next 20 years

[crossdressingrihno]

We can actually make artificial sperm now so eggs probably won't be an issue in the near future

[SnakeBoop]

XD ahuh. sure.

[crossdressingrihno]

Also I said indie post multiple times
"I am not asking if it is possible"

[crossdressingrihno]

In the not indie

[crossdressingrihno]

Also given the way you reacted I consider that rude so I'm going to respond in kind

You're coming off as insecure
And I believe deep down inside your heart there you might actually be a little bit worried

[SnakeBoop]

really? rude? XD dude get off the shrooms. XD

[crossdressingrihno]

Yes rude

[SnakeBoop]

men will simp regardless of literally anything. Plus that would open women up to have more choices over their body, which America for one will never let happen lmao
literally nothing I said was rude. The one who's insecure is those who see threats when there wasn't ones. Chill out XCD

guys on crack

[UCrayCray]

@crossdressingrihno
So we already don’t need men for reproduction, is that what you’re saying?

[SlangSlayer]

Women would be replaced

Or become probably prositues and maybe become a rare commodity.

Because if you can chose the sex of the child and create a half artificial human.

Why would you pick the lesser sex? Men are smarter stronger and faster.


Slavery might be a issue.


It kinda goes back to Human/AI thing or met averse thing.

Once something replaces woman there need is gone

[ArtemisSilver]

Chicks would be praying to Martha Stewart for deliverance and would have to actually be nice to men if they wanted attention.

Particularly if domestic companion robots also become commonplace around the same time.

Figure you might be interested in that

[ArtemisSilver]

The second link doesn't work. But yeah I'm aware of the first article. The tech still has a long way to go before being a practical option.

[crossdressingrihno]

The funny thing about technology is this
The more you know the faster you learn and the faster you learn the more you know and the more you know the more you can do

[crossdressingrihno]

Basically I don't think it's actually going to be that long before it's possible

[ArtemisSilver]

Yeah, but the supply chain is so fucked I still can't even get a ps5

[ArtemisSilver]

We might be back in the stone age first

[crossdressingrihno]

Yeah but that's a game console not medical technology

[ArtemisSilver]

It's an indicator of looming economic and industrial collapse not just a game console lol

[crossdressingrihno]

Honestly after a few conversations and having seen a whole bunch of stuff come down I honestly think that designing such technology might be the next best step for humanity

[crossdressingrihno]

I think we'll work our way through it though

[ArtemisSilver]

I'm buying the first ticket I can to mars.

[crossdressingrihno]

Honestly I'm not going to be happy until humanity reaches a point where they can be comparable to Gods with the technology they use

[crossdressingrihno]

Once we can Mass manufacture life and go wherever we want with little to no consequence as well as have the ability to at least in some way live forever and terraform planets with ease then I will be happy with human accomplishments but until then I feel we have barely touched the surface

[ArtemisSilver]

It's going to be hard to escape the crab bucket

[crossdressingrihno]

I don't get your metaphor

[SignedAutographs]

you two need to get off the crack

[ArtemisSilver]

Signed, just because you don't understand a conversation doesn't mean that you need to chime in.

[crossdressingrihno]

Totally agreed art
He appears to be insulting us for no good reason because we have done nothing insult-worthy in this comment section

[crossdressingrihno]

Also autograph
Stop accusing us of taking illegal substances even if it is just a form of expression I do not like it

And I am now trying to avoid being angry because I do not wish to get removed from the app

[Cubus]

Then women would not need to reproduce anymore and would lose the ability to get pregnant after some time. And they will not be women anymore :)

[Deathraider]

We don’t need more kids in this world.

Also people don’t have sex for kids. It’s about that pleasure chemical.

[SlangSlayer]

Actually I disagree. This we don't need average humans anymore

[Deathraider]

@SlangSlayer I mean we probably shouldn’t have kids anyways. I mean certainly they can’t consent to existing, and we probably shouldn’t do anything that directly affects a person without consent.

[Pohjolan]

*shrugs*
9 months were anyway just 4% of the time needed to turn a egg into a adult human.

Notify me when we get robot nannies.

[SignedAutographs]

How would men have the kids then?

[crossdressingrihno]

An incubator and artificial eggs

[SignedAutographs]

That's not the mans body though

[crossdressingrihno]

Are you talking about a man getting pregnant?

[crossdressingrihno]

Men have children all the time and don't get pregnant

[crossdressingrihno]

I am legit confused as to your meaning

Like maybe you're talking about the eggs specifically like eggs can't be created from a man's body?
Because artificial eggs can be created from the man's body.
Or perhaps you're just not taking into account the fact that you're still going to use sperm to inseminate the egg.

Or we could cut men and women out of the picture of reproduction entirely and make artificial eggs and sperm. Which is totally an option by the way

[SignedAutographs]

You have no idea what you're talking about dude

[crossdressingrihno]

I don't even know what you're talking about

[crossdressingrihno]

I don't mean to be rude so sorry if I come off as rude in my next statement

I specifically said that I was not asking if it is possible but instead what your opinions on it would be and what you think the ramifications of such a technology would be

I continued answering your questions because I figured that maybe by answering your questions giving you some specifics you would be able to provide an answer relevant to my question

[crossdressingrihno]

My intention is not to upset you I merely wish to clarify the situation

I am not claiming myself to be a scientist I have not went to college I merely had a passing thought and wished to get other people's opinions as to how it would affect the world
