Here is contrarian bioethics at its best. Pregnancy and childbirth are so painful, risky and socially restrictive for women that public funding should urgently be directed to the development of artificial wombs. This is the only way to achieve true equality between men and women for then neither women nor men would then be limited by having children and the burdens of reproducing the species would be shared equally.
This is the radical suggestion made by a leading British bioethicist, Anna Smajdor, of the University of East Anglia.
Artificial gestation, or ectogenesis, is currently science fiction, but it may be possible. Dr Smajdor believes that in a truly liberal society pregnancy and childbirth should not be tolerated:
Changes to financial and social structures may improve things marginally, but a better solution needs to be found. Either we view women as baby carriers who must subjugate their other interests to the well-being of their children or we acknowledge that our social values and level of medical expertise are no longer compatible with “natural” reproduction.
Pregnancy is barbaric, Dr Smajdor contends – an illness so serious that it is comparable to measles, which is also occasionally fatal, but does not last nine months.
I suggest that there is a strong case for prioritising research into ectogenesis as an alternative to pregnancy. I conclude by asking the reader the following: if you did not know whether you would be a man or a woman, would you prefer to be born into Society A, in which women bear all the burdens and risks of pregnancy, or Society B, in which ectogenesis has been perfected.
Her article in the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics is a reply to a critique of an article which she published in 2007, “The moral imperative for ectogenesis”. ~ Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, January
Such is the true voice of liberalism: demanding intolerance of nature; promoting the most radical and extreme political ideology under the guise of science; promoting materialism as the be-all and end-all of life. This is horrific. Thankfully this lunatic view is in the minority. Unfortunately, the self-appointed elite of the world are also a minority, and it is from these enemies of humanity that such 'humanist' evil comes. Scary days indeed. It is worth visiting the original article to read the comments section. We cannot allow such evil as the thoughts of Anna Samjdor to go unchallenged.

Disgusting newfeminist tripe. I imagine sodomites would use this too.
Women not getting pregnant would cause some sort of illness similarly to how not breast feeding can lead to cancer.
get this. i am not anti jewish, nor am i anti moderate post humanist. I am against this type of extreme post humanism. I am against this/ its unethical and disgusting, but to be truthful, get the world govt and anti jewish out of it. this is not even about that. this is about trade $, using us as slaves. extreme wealth has no race, no religion. this is about free market, unified world that will gradually come into effect at its own natural pace. how does one effectively stop this tripe? post things fairly i guess. dont attach movements to it. this is about humanity. this hype will only cause genocide on a mass scale. no one wants that. I have more of an idea, when things possibly come to ahead. all soldiers will put their guns down, turn to their leaders and say no more. isnt that more of a better reality? wouldnt that be a better dream?
