Taking away the responsibility of pregnancy from women could result in less wealth inequality by gender, one billionaire argued
Several prominent tech entrepreneurs discussed the possibility of replacing natural birth with synthetic wombs, arguing that such technology would remove the “burden” of pregnancy and allow women to work more.
After Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk warned on Tuesday that society “should be much more worried about population collapse,” Musk’s fellow tech leaders came up with one solution for declining birth rates.
“We should be investing in technology that makes having kids much faster/easier/cheaper/more accessible… Synthetic wombs, etc,” proposed Sahil Lavingia, the founder of digital product trading platform Gumroad.
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of cryptocurrency Ethereum, agreed, arguing that women would be able to continue working if the “burden of pregnancy” was replaced with synthetic wombs.
Buterin – who has an estimated net worth of $1.46 billion – claimed that outsourcing pregnancy to machines could mean “significantly reducing the inequality” of wealth between genders.
Though Lavingia and Buterin received some support on social media, the majority of reactions were overwhelmingly negative, with critics comparing the idea to the lab-grown humans from ‘The Matrix’.
“This is so dystopian… why not create a system where anyone contributing to society earns enough to build a family, buy a house and live instead of constantly being priced out by inflation?” suggested one person.
Journalist Amil Niazi tweeted, “The reason the majority of ppl [are] choosing not to have kids aren’t having them is not because they’re lacking quick and easy synthetic wombs it’s because it increasingly feels like you need to be a millionaire to have them.”
In 2019, scientists in the Netherlands claimed they were within 10 years of creating the world’s first artificial womb. That technology, however, is intended to be used to protect premature babies rather than to replace natural pregnancy altogether.
The reason given for synthetic wombs would be so that women could be better slaves to the system and have more time to work. Work work work! But the question we would like to ask is what purpose would even women serve in such a world? Why would anyone even choose to create a female in a synthetic womb? Why not make males only? And these synthetic wombs could be equipped on sex robots for example.
We’re not saying that this is what we want but we’re saying that the reason given for these wombs is dumb. Just call it the way it is, instead: men don’t need women anymore.
This is all a dumb fantasy as we do need each other, men and women. We cannot survive without each other. Each have different useful functions in society. Men are rational but violent creatures just like with all other species while women are stupid but sentimental. We complete each other. Women make smart men calm because men also need warmth and emotions. You can’t function on rationality only. While women need men for intellectual guidance.
We complete each other. Additionally, pregnancy for women is HEALTHY and desirable. Women experience body healing during pregnancy as pregnancy produces rejuvenating stem cells. Most stay in the placenta but a few do go into the woman and try to repair the woman from whatever illnesses she is suffering. Its a mechanism meant to protect the mother so that the baby can be delivered and survive.

If a woman is “too busy” working to carry a baby to full term than she will be too busy working to “enjoy” raising her child. Will another robot be raising the child too?
So many women would love to carry their own child in their own womb but they physically cannot. If a womb-man wants to do this it’s her own decision and she has a right but in my opinion she is missing out and only robbing herself.
