I also think the idea of iron wombs cheapens the enture reproductive
process. That is my purely emotional hippie liberal opinion...
Damon.
My parents' generation was all for bottle feeding and canned goods because
they were clean, modern, sanitary, and efficient. The postwar generation
grew up to loathe the entire idea - they wanted heartfelt, natural, and
organic. A much-needed corrective if I do say so myself. But when the values
of "clean, modern, sanitary, and efficient" or their equivalent roll around
again (as a much needed corrective to heartfelt, natural, and organic? And
the balance of the wheel goes round and round ... say I, daughter, mother,
and now grandmother....) we'll get uterine replicators. For the attitude
described above, check any of the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.
And then we'll go back to batural childbirth and breast feeding. For that,
see Robert Heinlein's "Beyond This Horizon", though her never had a child in
his life. Much to his sorrow, I think.
