For people in the U.S., international adoption is both logistically difficult and morally fraught. Domestic adoption is less difficult, but it's very hard to adopt infants, which is what most adoptive parents are hoping for (and willing to pay lots of money for).
I'm not necessarily arguing in favor of creating more children, but your implied "just adopt" doesn't meet most potential parents' desires.
- aerio 3y agoI didn't say "just adopt". I said we already have an abundance of parentless kids in the world. Providing less friction in the adoption space sounds easier (and a hell of a lot less ethically gray) than making synthetic human embryos.
