Your mother gives birth to you. She doesn’t just donate genetic material. She carries you inside her for 9 months before pushing you out and holding you as you take your first breathe. This is the way it has been for millions of years.
What people are proposing is breaking that human cycle. Eliminating the investment of time body and soul into the next generation. Pretending this wouldn’t have significant impacts on our society is farcical. Population could literally be controlled by whoever has the money.
We would also likely end up in a Gattaca situation because who would want to spend the money on a defective baby. Crispr babies raised by the government or corporations doesn’t sound like a future I would look forward to.
I am talking about the implications of creating humans unethically in ways that would upend society as we know it.
Denying our strong familial bounds due to pregnancy and raising our biological offspring is silly. I am not saying fatherhood isn’t real or that people can’t adopt.

So by your logic, fatherhood isn’t real. Only motherhood is real.

Why is a family deciding to use a robotic womb “unethical”? What’s the difference between a robot surrogate and a human one?
You seem to be thinking they’re just going to pop out babies into the orphan factory and raise them like spare parts.
