> there's no reason to believe it would create any worse of a wage slavery system than already exists. Yes there is. As terrible as the system is today, people willingly to choose (in most cases) to bring children into the world and (in most cases) accept the responsibility of raising them. Who raises the kids in a world where they're bred via technology? There's a long and ugly history involving church and state-run homes for orphaned kids. You'd be creating a system that would be ripe for exploiting kids at a systemic scale we've never before seen (and to be clear, we've seen global child sex abuse scandals).

> As terrible as the system is today, people willingly to choose (in most cases) to bring children into the world and (in most cases) accept the responsibility of raising them People are hard at work on removing the 'willingly' part of this right now. We have the wealthiest man on earth backing people who are headed down a road where contraception will be outlawed. > Who raises the kids in a world where they're bred via technology? People who voluntarily adopt them. You could have babies made to order for people with fertility problems, or merely for people who don't want to undertake the risk of carrying a pregnancy to term in a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the developed world[1].
