How many pregnancies are planned, and how many are "accidental?"
I guess it would all depend on the technology. But whether people
plan their pregnancies around the tax season or their new-age
hippie health classes is irrelevant to the question: creating a
system of artificial iron wombs eliminates the emotional effects
for a woman of having a baby growing inside of them. Some may be
totally skeeved by this idea; my fiancee (we have a baby, BTW --
she's 6mo old, 7 in early August) however commented that she misses
things like the kicks, the movement, etc. Of course I cannot relate
to that on any level; being a male I have nothing in my life
experiences to compare it to. And to get proper feedback, that
question should be postulated to both pre-pregnancy, and post-birth
women.
I also think the idea of iron wombs cheapens the enture
reproductive process. That is my purely emotional hippie liberal
opinion...
I didn't say I thought it was a good idea. Just that other people
probably will.
Takes all sorts.
