The reason this comes up is because I was reading Imp1 comments and replies to them and he’s mentioned multiple times before that he believes that the actual answer to a lot of this is making artificial wombs so that you can cut out women from making kids and relationships with women have to be about something else. That would mean that since women can't use their wombs as a bargaining tool, their intellect and personalities have to be what keeps a man interested, at least imo, and I can see why it would appeal to him, but are they even reasonable?
I haven't done the research myself and thought it would be more fun to have a discussion over it, but still, I’m just curious as to how the tech works if at all. I've seen things where the tech is being “suppressed” (hidden from the public like a lot of current tech we use today was during the Cold War, ala the internet), but is that true, or not? It's just genuinely an interesting topic to me.
All of this lacks one fundamental understanding of fetal development. The most important part outside of nutrition and water the fetus requires the elements of the human body such as heartbeat, warmth, electrical stimuli, and many other intrinsic parts of being human in order to thrive and develop properly. We cannot with the most advanced technology even cover the most basic of these needs. Yet even if we could it still wouldn't work it requires more than just an artificial womb to develop a human fetus. With the real thing and a woman it still has a high probability outcome of failure or mutation most pregnancies end in self-termination without even the woman realizing she was ever pregnant. It would more likely be that we genetically engineer a more sterile style of DNA and people, more generic model with less variation among genetics in order for this technology to be viable.
