Juuuuust gonna let that hang in the thread for awhile <please insert ominous music in the background of this post>.

Would those be the same scientists who are currently developing artificial womb technology? Can't you see how pointless this whole debate is?

So, you have a girlfriend and this is how you view sex?

I don't prefer it. I'm just saying there's a silver lining to it.

Wasn't debating, just sharing something I read in Popular Science magazine in my OBGYN's office. If a woman's value, to some, is based solely on their ability to reproduce, I thought it might hold some relevance to the conversation being had.

You think it's less stressful, far, far less trouble, and easier than actual sex - it kind of sounds like you prefer it.

Your point is taken. I wish ppl would stop saying such ridiculous crap in the first place, we all hold value regardless.

If I preferred it, I wouldn't keep her around would I? There's basically no other point to life, so regardless of the trouble I may as well keep at it.
