Several Big Tech executives have proposed replacing natural birth with synthetic wombs, arguing that such technology will make the role of women in childbirth ‘obsolete.’
After Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned on Tuesday that society “should be much more worried about population collapse,” fellow Big Tech executives came up with a controversial solution for declining birth rates.
“We should be investing in technology that makes having kids much faster/easier/cheaper/more accessible… Synthetic wombs, etc,” proposed Sahil Lavingia, the founder of digital product trading platform Gumroad.

RT.com reports: Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of cryptocurrency Ethereum, agreed, arguing that women would be able to continue working if the “burden of pregnancy” was replaced with synthetic wombs.
Buterin – who has an estimated net worth of $1.46 billion – claimed that outsourcing pregnancy to machines could mean “significantly reducing the inequality” of wealth between genders.
Though Lavingia and Buterin received some support on social media, the majority of reactions were overwhelmingly negative, with critics comparing the idea to the lab-grown humans from ‘The Matrix’.
“This is so dystopian… why not create a system where anyone contributing to society earns enough to build a family, buy a house and live instead of constantly being priced out by inflation?” suggested one person.
Journalist Amil Niazi tweeted, “The reason the majority of ppl [are] choosing not to have kids aren’t having them is not because they’re lacking quick and easy synthetic wombs it’s because it increasingly feels like you need to be a millionaire to have them.”
In 2019, scientists in the Netherlands claimed they were within 10 years of creating the world’s first artificial womb. That technology, however, is intended to be used to protect premature babies rather than to replace natural pregnancy altogether.

In other words they want to make the disposal of people more profitable and to maximise those profits they need to be able to speed up the replacement process. They want to be able to mass murder people. Increase turnover is the bottom line.
This is more arrogant than believing you can make a vaccine better than our God designed immune system.
Most brilliant statement I’ve heard in a long time, thank you!
You can be sure artificial wombs will cost more than natural childbirth.
they can hope to get souless children out of the deal.
The stated justification for this is money. That means it’s based on greed.
you know the only way they would fund this research is from stolen Tax payer dollars. scuzz balls
