  1. Making babies is way more appealing to me than having babies and technology is all that appealing to me. Not ready to punt the old lady yet.

  2. As Charlie Harper from Two and Half Men so eloquently put it:
    If you have someone to clean your house and do your shopping, and you get some action on a regular basis, the only reason you need a wife is if you have some sick compulsion to give away half your stuff

  3. I have no doubt that we … can … but who is going to ask if we … should ? Science should never ERASE ethics. However, don’t expect the questions to come from politicians … we’ve already seen their relationship with ethical behavior.

  4. At least they won’t so you for divorce….
    That should read:
    At least they won’t sue you for divorce….

  5. Although … they appear to be ALMOST as high maintenance as a flesh and blood (sucking) wife … at an initial cost of $ 15,000.00

  6. Well, I spent about $20K (not her father–me) on my wedding and 15 years and two kids later she pulled the pin and blew it all up–while I was overseas in Afghanistan. Couple the artificial womb with one of those sex robots, which can probably be programmed to cook, to sew, to clean the house, mow the lawn, clean the gutters, do renovations etc, while you’re at work and the kids are in school or better yet program “her” to homeschool the kids so they don’t get the claptrap injects from left-leaning governments…and paying for upgrades on your model versus buying the real wife expensive jewelry would actually benefit you…As an 80 yr old imagine getting the upgrade for nurse/caregiver and you’re set. Geez $15K is actually a pretty good investment. You’ve got to love the “invisible hand”…when a good becomes too expensive an alternate good will be brought to market. So, no need for teachers, a male’s desire to procreate would be answered and he would have the perfect companion.

  7. Islam figured this out centuries ago, you just buy 4 of them, marry them and poof, disposable rug-rats everywhere.
    No divorce settlement worries, no backtalk, and plenty of surrogates in the fields outdoors.
    Who says they’ve never invented anything?

  8. You, sir, get an A+ … for correcting my math. I stand corrected.
    And with the robot wife doing her marital duties … I will no longer need my own invisible hand !

  9. It was a depressing and disgusting enough quote when Gloria said it; now a new parallel which isn’t any better.
    This makes me so very depressed for my children and grandchildren.
    Favill, I must ask: you were married for 15 years, and she left you when you were in A-stan? Does that mean that you were deployed? If so, you were likely not young — were you in the entire time you were married?
    I ask, because I do know that long term service is often a cause of divorce. It is very hard being a military wife (presents and prizes are often a very cold consolation); they are alone often and have to move often, and then there is the stress of deployment — many do want their men to get out after a period of time, especially when they have children. Could this been a part of your divorce?
    I was a military wife myself once; my oldest 3 children basically grew up in a single parent house much of the time; while I hated to see my husband get injured and out on a medical (after 13.5 years in)…I was also very happy. I was very tired of the lifestyle, and also was of the opinion that my husband was getting a bit long in the tooth to be deploying, especially in an infantry role).
    I don’t know if this was the case for you, but it does happen often.
    Marriage does oblige us to consider the shoes of another, so I hope many of the comments here are tongue in cheek…I say the same to many women who are just as jaded.
    It distresses me that we have become so hollow chested that we avoid perhaps the one true way to live “do onto others and love thy neighbor as thyself” — it isn’t easy, but it is worth it.

  10. Great comment Jenny.
    “…so I hope many of the comments here are tongue in cheek.” Not trying to speak for the above commenters, I would suggest that most of the comments are tongue in cheek to show a certain amount of disgust with what are society is becoming. The first comment by Steve says it for me. Remembering that a leftist society wants to have the state as the first loyalty for father and mother and in effect being the head of the family.

  11. Jenny R. She was military as well. She decided to step out on me once my plane took off. She dropped my two children off (4 & 9) to my parents house as it was the beginning of summer vacation…and took up with another man. By the way, this was literally a couple of months after she aborted my baby. A wise man once said…you can’t make a harlot into a housewife–I would add “or even a decent wife.” It is what it is.

  12. Such a sad and depressing thread. We’re rising 49 years married; it’s not been all great and I would never describe us as “soul mates”, but we do love each other. Am hoping our married children can enjoy their marriages as long as we have. But there are other models: aunt and uncle who were together about 23 years, separated about 25 years, and – at their 50th – my comment was that they were married 50, together 25. We were delighted when they got back together again, they had some great years together, and auntie sincerely mourned the death of her husband.

  13. If nobody here connects this idea with the real possibility of the Elites breeding slaves as they see fit instead of looking at it in the long obsolete terms of “the Battle of the Sexes”, we all deserve to lose our Liberty and the familiar view of Humanity.
    What is the market value of this research? None, zip, zilch, zero. This shit is tax funded you know. And Why?!
    DAMN IT! Why are so many of you so myopic? They mean to kill us. They can’t have people who remember what it means to be free surviving.
    Deacon Greg Kandra is a Roman Catholic deacon in the Diocese of Brooklyn, New York. For nearly three decades, he was a writer and producer for CBS News, where he contributed to a variety of programs and was honored with every major award in broadcasting. Deacon Greg now serves as Multimedia Editor for Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA.) He and his wife live in Forest Hills, New York.
    I’m not a Catholic. But are there ANY Catholics who post here at SDA that think this shit is cool?
    Shake and bake humans with no Mama/Papa ties, Elite slaves is the end result no matter how “this is just to save Premies” this BS is justified by.
    You do KNOW the first clones were already done with sheep, YES?!

  14. Hello people!! The real story is about breeding sheep in a lab, not about the Catholic church, or how children should be reared!
    Having had a bible thrown at my head by an angry priest during religion class when I was a teen in high school, (1966) I would have been much better off in the lab experimenting with test tube mice than listening to his bullshit. None of which made sense.
    I rejoiced the day the bastard died.

  15. Cripes Favill…..I don’t often post here, but I feel for you. At the 15 year mark, my wife pulled the same stunt, with the exception that we had three kids and we were both former military. Her boyfriend was a pot smoking, uneducated piece of white trash….and I couldn’t have been more unsuspecting. Perfect ambush. Went from perfect life to an episode of the Twilight Zone in a week. Anyhoo….that was a decade ago, but whenever I hear a of a situation such as mine, it all comes back.
    Hope it worked out better for you…..likely so as it seems you both were employed…try the same scenario with a stay-at-home mom and understand what financial devastation is all about.

  16. I know.
    But I believe they actually are missing their own point when they engage in trying to breed slaves or whatever. What for? In the age of AI this is a truly absurd idea.
    As well for sheep. There is no sense, nor benefit in breeding sheep outside of sheep. It’s possible to do. But it’s stupid from every angle you might want to look at it.
    And for human babies… I am truly not sure there is much benefit to forcefully complete a term. While it too is possible I again have the feeling that there are reasons for why some pregnancies end too early. And there is no entitlement to having a baby. It’s just the way things go. We should accept and not try to forego every more or less natural interception of what life with what we WANT.
    Scientists in this field must be wearing huge blinkers. How else can you justify to yourself what you are earning your money with day aftr day? I’d go crazy.

  17. Then I am sorry for you that the person you chose to marry was not what they appeared.
    But it sometimes is the case that people are not capable of being what we ask them to be and snap — I have seen a few military marriages end in divorce (being from a military family myself) because one or the other of the spouses finally confronted that which they thought they could handle but couldn’t. Career military is a tough lot for the rest of the family, and sometimes I think people in that life are not considering the attendant stressors enough before they decide to marry. It calls for an even greater sacrifice of love, understanding, patience and resolve in order to work…that is asking quite a bit out of any flawed and frail human soul.
    I don’t think civilians do it enough either for that matter.
    There were many times during the course of our long marriage when both my husband and I had nearly reached the breaking point with each other. This is the result of being human and imperfect. We were fortunate in having people around us who firmly and generously reminded us of what we both pledged to. Marriage is never easy.
    And I won’t lie to you: I found myself in the rather hypocritical position of supporting my husband through his separation from the military (he wasn’t happy about leaving) in public and secretly doing a happy dance because I was so glad he was out…and this caused a bit of guilt on my part, but I won’t lie: I was happy, because it had been a long time and my resilience was not as good at 36 with 3 kids and another on the way as it had been at 21 with no kids. I’m very thankful in that regard: I did not get tested any further from that direction.
    We tend to gloss over just what will be entailed in a marriage — to our own regret and others’ sorrow. That should not be a call to get rid of the opposite sex and destroy marriage and family — it is calling us all to do better.
    I hope that this is all tongue and cheek — I’m afraid of how our children and grandchildren will take it…which may be to see it as an option (and I know enough about science and ethics to know that once it is successful in one mammalian species, and sheep are not lower order ones, then it is possible for all eventually…and there will be some who are so short sighted as to see this as progress). Then we will have truly let the destroyers of civilization win.

  18. I am Catholic, and no I obviously am alarmed.
    However, Deacon Kandra only linked to the article and introduced it: and his introduction was pretty neutral…as a report should be (what the linked article stated is not his writing).
    I think he has made his readers aware and allowed them the debate space, as he should do.
    It doesn’t appear as though he is cheerleading this — merely bringing it up (in fact, considering some of the words in his lead in, I’d wager he is of a mind such as yourself on this).
    I can see the potential for premature infants — that’s the pro of this.
    The con of this is — producing children outside of the womb and all those Brave New World potentials (which some, as has been remarked, won’t give a second thought to).
    I suggest we choose wisely for a change…if possible.

  19. Not too get too far out there, but, this could have prove useful in interstellar exploration/colonization somewhere down the road. If we get that far.

  20. Well, seeing as western women are so high on contraceptives, this may actually save us.
    Give it time, and we can stick an artificial womb with a few well selected eggs in a sex-bot, the feminists should love that idea!
    Captcha: White zone.
    Excellent!
