    I wish I was kidding, but what are the chances that China will become the first country to mass produce their new population via in vitro?

      That still requires a surrogate at least, no in vitro can support all the way to viability yet. There would also need to be post-birth support for the kids to be useful to soxiety. Also essentially admitting the existing men aren’t capable of having children. Expensive af too, so seems improbable.

        Oh I agree to all that, still. Maybe I’ve seen and read too many dystopian movies and books.

          That’s some weird af premise. Honestly, I only know that sort of thing from a brave new world. What other books/ movies is that in? And are they worth reading/ watching?
