Ahh, but what about the planned ones? A major point in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series is the use of artificial wombs as the standard birth method. Gets rid of a lot of the danger of 'body birth' And having been through the process 3 times, getting my hand crushed each time, I know how painful it all can be. Took me hours before I could write again! ;-) Anyway, some pretty great social changes would follow. I must admit though, I find the "just a few years" comments a bit too glib. It might turn out like nuclear fusion, always "just 20 years away." > The > anti-abortionists would support this for obvious reasons, but > making it this > easy (and guilt free) also has a price.

Plus there are other reasons for having the female of the species about. Cups of tea, meals, mowing the lawns, making sure there's enough space in the fridge for the essentials... Brett
