Dr. Anna Smajdor: Typical Ethics Girl
How quickly does it move from “artificial wombs free you” to “it’s best for the baby” to “it is illegal to reproduce except artificially”?
At which point, parenthood without a license is enforceable. And killing or altering those in artificial wombs without the parents’ knowledge or consent is quite easily managed.
OK, I write sci-fi, so it’s easy to draw from fiction to come up with these ideas. but as a woman, the push for artificial wombs equals a loss of reproductive freedom.
The author is bound to succeed, just as soon as she convinces women to love politics more than babies. Best of luck with that.
She’s crazy.
