Scientists Create Artificial Ovary: Frankenbabies Are Coming

[Bob4God]

According to this article from Darwin worshipping Popular Science, scientists at Brown University have crafted what they're calling the world's first artificial ovary, which has been used to grow egg cells.

As a True Christian Republican Conservative, my first instinct was to be outraged and get those veins in my forehead to bulge out.

Then I remembered reading that scientists had also created artificial sperm.

Then I realized all they have to do now is create an artificial womb and we will have artificial humans.

I nearly had a heart attack. This kind of tampering with GOD's design is a sure recipe for disaster.

No good can come from it. GOD allows infertility to be a punishment, and by finding ways to subvert that intelligent design, we are basically giving people a free pass to sin.

Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. -Deuteronomy 7:14

Being a True Christian means being fertile, therefore there is no need for artificial babies. End of argument.

Um...... Brother.......

Artificial Wombs, self-contained synthetic structures that replicate the best of a real woman's uterus, will surely soon be available in the mass market, as technology progresses in its relentlessly life-improving way.

The demand for such a thing is clearly, tentatively, huge. Offering a safer, healthier, more affordable and liberating way of having a child, only those most conservative, traditional, or desperately poor will choose the conventional organic method.

Scientists are already working on artificial womb projects and finding some niggling difficulties in doing so.

As for clarifying my listed benefits of such a technology, an artificial womb would present a safer option, as it would be of a mechanical design in common with life-support systems that are most probably less susceptible to failure than human bodies, including healthy mothers. Further more, these devices would be static, as opposed to climbing stairs, walking streets and driving cars.

An artificial womb would be a healthier womb. This holds for the same reasons technology is employed in the production of the vegetables and fruits we eat. Hydroponics set-ups administer carefully, optimally controlled doses of nutrient to plants roots, while allowing for maximum air flow, and minimal disturbance from soil-based pests. I do not mean to suggest an infant child and a tomato plant are one and the same, but there are in fact parallels to be drawn.

As for more affordable, please do the following maths; Pregnant women experience a significantly reduced capacity to work. Women expecting children the artificial way will have the flexibility to work for longer, if they wish. And so they will be more liberated, able to walk, fly and live more comfortably, also free of any possible concern that they might not recognise their own bodies, during and after pregnancy.

I hope they can do the Monster Mash!

This sounds like Brave New World. Since we True Conservatives™ understand the importance of avoiding slippery slopes, we must be on guard against these things, lest the entire world become one great big socialized drug-fueled orgy. Of course, the stratified society depicted in that book would be acceptable, but the rest of it wouldn't be.

Ye may not pass though the gates of heaven unless ye come as a child. Born unto the waters. So much for walking in. I guess this is why heaven became hell. Afterall the gates are the female naughty parts. And as far as being born unto the waters, the womb. Obviously

Wow, I think you should turn yourself over to the nearest Psychiatric teaching hospital, you would be some students wet dream of a case study. Just defining your issues would probably earn the student an A.
