Gotta get that birthrate back up somehow, and having an equitable society obviously isn't an option

we need the original author's names.

they need to be on a list somewhere for... additional oversight.

just saying you don't come to this 'scientific conclusion' in a vacuum, someone needs to check the rest of their.... social circle.

Well it was a woman philosopher and likely written with the dichotomy in mind that we accept brain dead organ donation while reviling paying people to sell one their kidneys/part of their livers/one of their lungs and also accept surrogacy while reviling this modest proposal.

This has very little to do with what our actual dystopia will do. I mean, I thought that this was by someone who was probably thinking of the families that lost someone to a coma and had been looking for grandchildren, but no, they are seriously suggesting this simply because of its utility.. Even so, all hail the new future tech bro hivemind and all, but still, not very likely. If it is something that is capable of being truly considered by societies, it will also be capable of considering worse things over it.

Death Stranding spoilerSo we're really gonna try bridge babies, huh?

IMO

We don't need more people in the world right now. We should be concentrating on figuring out how to agree on having and applying the best support for the ones we already have first.
