"If you take it for granted that nobody can listen in on your innermost thoughts, I regret to inform you that your brain may not be private much longer. Luckily, the brain is lawyering up." Colorado passed legislation to prevent companies from selling your brainwaves. But is it enough to stop the likes of Meta and Apple?

...the field of science is like #Goethe's #SorcerersApprentice. 6) Anything must be tested:

"That old sorcerer has vanished
And for once has gone away! Spirits called by him, now banished,
My commands shall soon obey..."

#Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb showed the way.
Only in contrast to the poem, there will be no sorcerer to save humanity from its hubris.

...produce offspring. Once again, humankind is attempting to play God.

I hardly ever say this, but no, humanity and Earth do not only need this new technology, quite the opposite is true: any such scientific endeavor to create an #ArtificialWomb should be strictly prohibited and severely punished.

I am under no illusion that my opinion will be influential enough to become mainstream.

And then there is also yet another ethical dimension, that of #fascist #eugenics. Who decides who will live or what will be procreated #IVF and then carried to term by an #ArtificialWomb?

#Humanity has already messed around enough with #evolution. Some combinations of the human #genome might simply not be meant to...

And the likelihood of serious mental-health issues, just taking as pars pro toto the doubts of many adopted children about their biologic "real" mother.

And then let's get back to Earth 🌎. This planet doesn’t need any more specimen of the type homo sapiens (or its mutations.) The current #ClimateCrisis can easily be attributed to a sole...

AFAIC, birth by a non-mother of this type will, however, also have adverse impacts on the child's immune system, similar to the one's born through a #CesareanSection:

"The results of the studies included indicated that children delivered by cesarean section more commonly developed respiratory tract infections, obesity...

Where to start?

Humanity, as well as Earth, don't need this "reproductive machine" envisioned in the classic son, "In The Year 2525"*. Not only the ethical implications are disastrous.
Many richer people will be able to pretty much procreate as they like, combined with existing technologies like #IVF.

Super soldiers of the type of #CaptainAmerica could be mass-produced without much...

Trump’s Lawyers Didn’t Disclose Proposal to Put Up Full $464 Million Bond
==

An appeals court reduced Trump’s bond by more than 60% after his attorneys claimed it was a “practical impossibility” to pay the full amount.

Their failure to disclose a proposal from a billionaire financier may have violated #ethics rules.
