The Global Fertility Industry Seeks To Erase Women From Procreation One Manufactured Egg At A Time

As scientists ramp up their fantasies about fabricated female gametes, concerns about technology outpacing our humanity should be high.

The campaign to erase women has officially escalated to leaving them out of the sacred act of reproduction.

For years, researchers, celebrities, and OB-GYNs have touted making babies outside of the bedroom as a novelty attraction available for anyone willing to pay. Millions of test tube babies and a million more frozen embryos later, the global fertility industry has found a new way to create life without a key natural component: women.

The Economist ran a series of articles in “Technology Quarterly” this month advocating for the expansion of assisted reproductive technology to in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), an experimental procedure that involves reprograming adult male stem cells to become usable eggs.

At least one of the stories acknowledges that outsourcing reproduction through existing technology like in vitro fertilization is “failing most women.” Already, countries, states, and healthcare facilities are grappling with how to handle ethical, moral, and legal crises like commercial surrogates with cancer and gay men who want taxpayers to fund the creation of motherless children.

As biotechnologists ramp up their fantasies about facilities filled with artificial wombs, dehumanizing “gene editing,” and now, fabricated female gametes, concerns about technology outpacing our humanity should be high.

The solution the British publication repeatedly prescribes to its readers, however — speeding up technical advancements to meet the rapidly growing desire of infertile or sexually incompatible adults to have children — falls prey to one of the biggest scams sold by the multi-billion dollar babymaking business.

The idea that humans can somehow circumvent their natural reproductive limits because of their desire to have children whenever they want is dangerous — it has led to the pain, suffering, and death of women and unborn babies.

Yet, scientists have proved over and over and over that they will continue to pursue unethical means to justify such ends.

What the heck is this guy rambling about?

The idea that humans can somehow circumvent their natural reproductive limits because of their desire to have children whenever they want is dangerous — it has led to the pain, suffering, and death of women and unborn babies.

We are nowhere near the natural reproductive limits of humanity. The baby boom, now that was near the natural reproductive limits, so much so that countries around the world either put in laws prohibiting more than one or two children (Red China, Singapore), or developed and disseminated The Pill to women everywhere.

As for Mr. Boyd... and his assumption that only gay men would ever use this technology. What about us, the ones derided as "incels" who have never had access to a woman's consent? Should we be considered useless, expendable dead ends in the reproductive chain? No matter how physically healthy, disease-resistant or genetically fit we are for the gene pool? Should we be beholden to the whims of a generation of women for whom wealth and comfort trump the responsibility to reproduce? Hand-wringers like Boyd enable this kind of dysgenics.

Do you know how badly I want a child? Not even childREN, just one child. Yet Boyd would condemn me to never be able to continue my bloodline, a failure of the circle of life.

Probably just me but in my opinion if the egg didn't come from a woman and the sperm from a man it isn't a human being, manufactured eggs and sperm or what ever will result in a creature like the Replicants in Blade runner, not a human being. That's my belief and I really don't see it changing YMMV.
