I've seen what happens when we treat reproduction like a manufacturing process. My cousin went through IVF—the emotional rollercoaster, the failed cycles, the sheer human cost. Now imagine we're not just helping infertile couples, but literally engineering eggs from scratch in a lab.
You're talking about creating human life's building blocks outside of any natural context. That's not medicine—that's playing god with a pipette. Where do we draw the line? Today it's eggs for infertility, tomorrow it's designer babies with custom genetic traits. This slippery slope isn't hypothetical; it's the inevitable logic of treating life as a product to be optimized.
And let's be honest about who benefits here. Wealthy couples. The ones who can afford the procedures, the legal fees, the ethical gray zones. Meanwhile, millions of existing children need homes. But nobody's rushing to make that ethical.
You want to create life from scratch in a dish? First prove you understand the value of the life already here.
