A couple of decades ago, I discussed the concept of the uterine replicator with some of my coworkers, pointing out the benefits, in particular the practically-negated risk of miscarriage. Without exception (granted, it was a fairly small sampling), however, those women I knew who'd borne children insisted that the experience had produced a special "bond" with the infant. They were certain that feeling wouldn't be there with children who came to term in the replicator rather than in their bodies ... and they also felt the replicator's improvement of safety for mother and child wouldn't be worth passing up on the bond.
I concluded — and I said this to the faces of some of them — that childbearing damaged the mothers' brains.
Thus, even after the technology matures, many of the people who stand to benefit most from it will nonetheless oppose it.

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
