thinking about it too, the only problem is that a child needs mommy love for the first few years, guess ill have to play mommy lol

I remember watching recently a tfm video about surrogates,
and I guess 60k or so would be a "ok" price, to have the guarantee, that it will be YOUR child
@Mr.Black#6711

I actually meant getting some eggs from a model like woman, which would probably cost additional 10-20k or so ...
but probably worth it , too 😛
@Адідас

@conker also, you can have your kids be "modified" with crispr in parts of the world before surrogacy (what i intend to do so my kids don't have any heart issues that runs through the fam)

@Адідас yeah that's the other "problem"
so either you still have your mother, so the grandma plays the mother, or you have to have a job, that you can pause for a while, and have passive income

@Mr.Black I think abortion is not the fun part, the hormone rush from 'being bred' is

@Mr.Black yeah, that would be super interesting, too
at least removing all the bad genes,
but idk, I don't like the thought of adding foreign genes, that would make the child not 100% yours (except the mothers part, ofc)

From what i was reading they liked showing the baby bump and feeling like there body is owned and used

And yea. You could add your own but im iffy with that, i would just want to correct family issues

I have good genes, 1.84+ nice face and stuff but the family medical problems are also a thing, would be nice to clear that up

Yep

Some people are more disposed to cancer for example i don't understand why you wouldn't remove that

just the correcting family issues/ genetic diseases would already BOOST humanity, that would be SO cool

Yep

If you made everyone pretty, there would be no beauty

And ugly people would be ~~genocided~~ beautiful instead

yeah, the next level would be adding resistance to diseases (also cool, if it's done in a safe way),
and the last level is adding "desirable" 3rd party features (<- although for now I'd have problems with that)

Beauty is subjective so that's a poor thought experiment but i get what you are saying

"desirable" features 🤢

it will definitely happen, I promise it you

Oh i know it will

Sooner or later

The problem I have with genetically editing humans is communists. Shitheads would engineer people to be a certain class, like a worker or elite, and try to make humanity a giant ant colony 🤢

desirable like in the sense of body height, etc,
athletic body shape,
easy muscle growth, etc

That's also a issue

@ResolvingParadox13 oh yeah, if the commies get this technology ... it's over

But we have the technology, and its already being used

Might as well use it responsibly

they will create their clone army,
and like you said, just docile worker / slave classes

You do know one of the places you go to get a designer baby is china right lol

@ResolvingParadox13 greetings from aldous huxley

@conker they probably will get it first (China), they have nothing to hold them back like trads or feminists

yes, I think that too

^ already have it

Already use it lol

I mean, at least china is not fully communist anymore, but yeah, this authoritarian shit is annoying

although they may use it to get rid of the kebab, that'd be ok xD

@conker Man, I need to read brave New World
Added to my rapidly expanding reading list

we were forced to read it in school ... but yeah, I guess it was not so bad, that we had to read it

We were forced to read Shakespeare mainly

was probably one of the few actually useful books, compared to the other shit ...
