China is developing a pregnancy humanoid. Thoughts?

ItPutsLotionOnItSkin · 2025-08-17T20:30:55+00:00

I saw this on Facebook. It was hilarious that someone got mad because the robots had breasts and a feminine form. Totally missing the point of the story

breathofanarchy · 2025-08-17T20:27:40+00:00

Well since asking women to do it is misogynistic we need modern solutions to modern problems.

No_Leather3994 · 2025-08-17T21:32:28+00:00

I don't see the issue. In fact it only seems like good news, women won't be able to dangle pregnancy to get out of literally everything.

It evens out the 2 genders.

World-Three · 2025-08-17T23:30:15+00:00

It's definitely something.

It scares me though... There's kind of a lot of things in life that exist because people were tired of doing it. Do you think we're getting dangerously close to the point where there's almost something for everything?

Makes me think of the AI replacing jobs situation. You don't want to do it? Okay. And now some of those jobs are gone.

I think if this becomes widely adopted, pride will be the only real thing stopping people from using stuff like this. You've got your chat model AI sexbot thing with a incubation expansion pack, and whatever other things you need, and you just go to work and come home. We'll get to see who ends up being the more nurturing gender too...

But with convenience comes disrespect I feel. Because if some woman cheating on her husband is physically carrying a baby that the husband was encouraged to "place" directly into the machine, I'd imagine there are going to be a lot of slighted men lashing out about it.

An easy way to see who people are is to give them what they want though... So it's just another experience I hope I live long enough to witness.

The sooner, the better.

Women were talking all this nonsense about bone marrow babies and how soon men won’t be needed for birthing children 😂

It flopped. There’s never been one single successful bone marrow baby birth. And the more you study it, the more malformations are theorized could come from it if they even did.

Meanwhile here’s china on the doorstep of developing a method that would make women the ones no longer needed for birthing children.

And as cruel as it may sound, if women are one day no longer needed for birthing children, what exactly will they even be here, for? Will men ever even want to associate with them, again?

All you’d get from it is sex. Which they’ll only give you if you jump through enough hoops for them. But if a scientific advancement like this is available, many men may be unwilling to beg or jump through hoops just for sex anymore.

Karma biting feminists right in the face. Constantly talk about they don’t need a man. But reality is they will always need men. Who else will build houses, roads, provide electricity, the phones they spend their whole lives on, protect them from threats?

Meanwhile, men can fend perfectly for themselves. If they want to be a dad, and women are no longer needed for that, then the singular only purpose left for him being with a woman is if he wants to get laid.

NoPopo- · 2025-08-17T20:34:31+00:00

Whoever is saying this is closer matrix blah blah blah...matrix was science fiction, and humans as batteries are the most inefficient way to run anything. We operate at an energy loss.

This is a human rights issue. Because I think countries with bad demographics can mass produce these and start repopulating, and we all know what China's stance is on human rights after the one child policy is...basically non existant.

If they can do this now, they are deffinetly capable of editing bad genes in the DNA by now. So we shall see super bred humans soon too...Technology has come a long way to the point where Sci fi movies are coming true. Scary stuff, but also exciting times to be alive to see it.

Responsible-Plant573 · 2025-08-18T02:27:42+00:00

want me to guess which group of people will shut it down?

Late-Hat-9144 · 2025-08-18T02:56:25+00:00

I actuslly dont have an issue with this at all, pregnancy remains one of the most dsngerous things women can do, they risk signfiicsnt medical complications and death from it. Also not every women can or wants to carry a pregnancy and not every marriage has someone equipped to carry a pregnancy.

I think this is a great step forward in removing the risks associated with pregnancy.

Substantial_Judge931 · 2025-08-18T19:02:20+00:00

Honestly I’d love this, it would basically end elective abortions

Tam_A_Shi · 2025-08-17T20:45:46+00:00

I’m ngl stuff like this puts women in so much trouble in the future. Porn and onlyfans already drastically cut the amount of men pursuing real life relationships so I can only imagine how bad it’s going to get with AI robot girlfriends that can actually have your kids. I mean not to demean women in any kind of way but what exactly would you NEED a woman for once it gets to that point?

MeasurementNice295 · 2025-08-18T04:30:54+00:00

I find it amusing to see feminists losing their shit everytime artificial wombs are brought up.

It's an oppressive burden until they aren't needed for it, right? Then it's a sacred blessing being stolen from them.

It's almost as if they know, deep down, that the priviledged status they enjoy in society comes specifically from their natural reproductive value alone, and that once that's gone, the psychos of the political class will see them as much of a disposable sack of meat as men are, and their value will then be defined by their willingless to sacrifice themselves in the meat grinder of a trench once any conflict breaks out.

This anxiety could be resolved by simply bringing up how conscription is evil and dehumanizing on mainstream public debate, by the way. Maybe if it was women saying that anyone would listen?

But we can't have that, can we? They would rather die before admiting that.

KarateInAPool · 2025-08-17T21:48:14+00:00

The one thing that has made women evolutionarily so coveted and provided endless protection and coddled privilege, has just been outsourced 😐

shihong1000 · 2025-08-17T22:17:56+00:00

women were talking about artificial sperm. I don't see what's wrong with this.

ahoypolloi69 · 2025-08-18T02:00:23+00:00

Lets be honest, within 10 years, AI will provide them with a passable personality, and in 50 years AI will be better than your typical woman.

I'll take the "build your self esteem with unlimited sex model", please. With the "scintilating conversation" DLC.

Imagine if their womb comes with a DNA printer. We won't even need egg donors.

Thanks.

Subject-Storage4232 · 2025-08-18T01:24:56+00:00

It could be a good thing. Since the birthrates in developed countries are at an all time low, we can finally solve that problem.

One controversial opinion I will add is if they were to mass produce babies through this, the ratio of male babies to female babies produced will have to be 3:7.

We haven't had a global war for 80 years causing the male population to outnumber the female population and we need to balance that back.

i_live_in_sweden · 2025-08-18T13:47:49+00:00

We got pregnant robots before GTA 6

callmejohny · 2025-08-18T18:44:51+00:00

I'll believe it when I see it.

Electric_Death_1349 · 2025-08-17T21:12:45+00:00

You can’t stop progress

Appropriate-Use3466 · 2025-08-18T05:50:17+00:00

"Women and children first" Wait, I'm a single dad with a robot-born child! "Oh... well therefore Adults and their children first!"

But this implies that people are rational and they do things because they think about them. However, it could all be related to habits, ie the WCF crowd could be doing all this not because they THINK about it, but just for the habit of "we always did this".

So my question is: will this eliminate WCF politics? Because if it was for logical reason it should have been eliminated the moment in which child-free people are prevalent or there were the first gay dads. Or is it connected more with habits, and therefore not impacted? Or initially not impacted and then impacted in the long term?

Who knows?

Nalyd87 · 2025-08-17T23:46:24+00:00

Good lmao.

heywoodidaho · 2025-08-17T22:17:27+00:00

Well it's the daily mail so likely BS, but form a science pov it's interesting. We'd find out what we don't know about the process. Unintended consequences and the like. Might have an application if we find a goldilocks planet out there or another niche application, but I don't see how it could replace the natural route.

Zestyclose_Skin8760 · 2025-08-18T08:35:51+00:00

Good

Face_Puzzleheaded · 2025-08-18T12:34:27+00:00

This is gonna make a lot of feminists mad.

Nerakus · 2025-08-18T18:29:24+00:00

This is probably a joke but I hope they do

Andrew_27912car · 2025-08-19T08:45:41+00:00

GREAT now the mother can't claim that she's pregnant to escape prison

MolochHASME · 2025-08-19T09:22:49+00:00

I have a brilliant friend who has two mothers using artificial insemination (from a sperm doner). He often wonders what it's like to have a father. I traveled down to Columbus to help him find one of his half-siblings and he found a lot of joy in that. It begs the question: How will children born this way find happiness and joy in a family structure and origin with little precedence or experience? How do these technologies change the equilibrium of monogamy that seems so common across human cultures but rare in nature at large?

I suppose in the end, I won't be around to experience the consequences and I am basically powerless to affect the outcome anyway.

Schools_Back · 2025-08-19T22:40:49+00:00

I work with the folks that developed/are developing the artificial womb or “biobag” referenced in the article. Let me tell you, the fact this guy is already putting a price on this thing is wildly delusional. The tech needed to make this a realization is so far away. The medical breakthroughs that would come from even the foundation of the stuff this researcher is referencing would revolutionize medicine. This article and any possible ethics raised by it are pure, unadulterated clickbait.

tzagoj · 2025-08-23T08:06:31+00:00

Everything that happens in the world is following a plan (of the elites).

If they need more workers for factories they 'empower' women for the workforce. (Fun fact, women have a problem to be bossed around by their husbank, meanwhile, they have no problem being bossed around by their work-boss.)

If the elites need less workers they release the pill, feminism, gay culture, you get the point...

If they need new workers but do not want to distract the existing workers from the workplace they will invent humanoid breeder robots...

It is all by design and human is cattle to them.

Toxicoman · 2025-08-17T20:21:32+00:00

This isn’t a men’s issue. This a “we are getting closer to the Matrix issue”.

Ragingtypewriter · 2025-08-18T00:56:57+00:00

Wow. Sci-fi becoming reality now. Never thought I'd be alive to witness it.

SunBurn_alph · 2025-08-18T04:05:00+00:00

Thoughts are its not gonna work until another hundred years. Even if it does work, society is still gonna be heavily sectioned by sex. Maybe in another million years the difference between the sexes will be evolutionary balanced with this change

captainhornheart · 2025-08-18T12:12:03+00:00

People here are saying this would remove a significant role of women, that men would no longer need women, or that it would even out the genders in some way, but I have to disagree. This would be a boon to feminists and a setback for men.

Currently the West is undergoing an existential population collapse. It's often masked by high levels of immigration, but it's happening and its effects are being felt. Arguably the root causes of this are the changes in gender roles, the availability of effective contraception and abortion, the breakdown of monogamy and marriage, women working and entering male status games, as well as economic issues (which may be connected with the other factors). This has all been bad for men because we now have to compete with women at work and in higher education, there's significant bias against men in these areas, it's more difficult to attain status and wealth, fewer men are having children, and it's harder to form relationships, leading to greater loneliness, as well as a loss of purpose. However, it's benefited women, who now have greater status, more wealth and greater freedom to adopt various roles than ever before. In many ways, they've become even more privileged, with all the rights of men but with fewer of the responsibilities.

There are three ways out of the population collapse as I see it:

1) Continue with mass immigration. This is becoming increasingly unpopular and anyway immigrants tend to assume the host country's fertility rate after a generation, as well as being a net cost in many cases.

2) Reverse the social and legal changes that have resulted in the population dropping. In other words, return to traditional gender roles and encourage monogamy and marriage.

3) Develop artificial wombs (and possibly state-directed or automated child-raising programmes).

(Note that offering incentives to have children, as has been attempted in Hungary, Japan and South Korea, doesn't work.)

I think 3) is highly unlikely to happen due to technical issues, but it would enable the West to stabilise or grow the population, dispense with immigration, and allow the current trends in gender roles and the ascendancy of feminism to continue unabated. It may harm a few women's interests, but it would absolutely boost most women's. They wouldn't need to suffer any interruptions to their careers in order to have children, revert to traditional gender roles, lose access to abortion and contraception, or risk pregancy-related medical issues. They could truly have it all - education, career, children, status - without any of the trade-offs childbearing currently forces them to face. Feminists should see it as the ultimate liberation and it's definitely the best of the three options from their point of view. And lest we labour under any illusions, men would absolutely still want to have sex with and partner with women even if they were no longer necessary for having children.

Men on the other hand would suffer even more from competition with women and would be even less desired as partners or fathers and their relative social status would drop further. It would mean a major boost to the forces that have already left many men feeling worthless and unappreciated.

SidewaysGiraffe · 2025-08-18T14:46:21+00:00

First, that it's NOT, in fact, "a concept that current only exists in sci-fi movies", since the tech has theoretically been around for over a decade; it's just untested, mostly for legal reasons.

Also, the "uterine replicator", as it's called, plays a major social role in Lois McMaster-Bujold's Vorkosigan saga, which are sci-fi books, but I'll admit that's hardly the point (but it's a GREAT series, so I felt compelled to mention it).

Beyond that- eh, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and probably in China, where biomedical ethics are considered a form of "Western decadence".

mrkanu · 2025-08-18T16:00:47+00:00

About time, with record low fertility rates, women not bearing children in pursuit of careers, depopulation looming large in many advanced countries, it was about time we should see something like this. Human reproduction itself will be industrialised now. Such developments can only accelerate from here. The question should be can women act as mothers to children they do not bear in their wombs.

Infamous-Papaya-6346 · 2025-08-21T03:10:29+00:00

The otakus can get back into the workforce. A big win 🙃

musicnote22 · 2025-08-18T01:27:56+00:00

Men: “finally we don’t need women anymore! We can have babies without them so they’re useless now!

Also men: “wah male loneliness wah wah need sex as a human right wah”

Like pick a side. Are women awful and unneeded or are we to blame for men being so lonely and sad all the time?

FancyyPelosi · 2025-08-18T02:01:01+00:00

China is fucked because of its one child policy.

adam-l · 2025-08-18T03:25:30+00:00

The fact that some women are [censored] enough to want to have a kid alone, doesn't mean that men should go the same way. In the modern era, the traditional family (a woman, a man, and his mistress) is still the best way to raise children.

PrivateCupcake22 · 2025-08-17T20:20:13+00:00

women are supposed to give babies not robots wtf is this 😭

Dry_Frosting_8696 · 2025-08-22T02:29:25+00:00

It's about time we start dropping the incel women from being able to give their input on children they will never have.
