      Can you explain to me what the fear is here? I’m not really getting it. What do you mean “manpower”, cause to me that sounds like some bad sci-fi story with weird robo-womb babies genetically modified to work construction jobs

        The bad sci-fi bit.

        Something like blade runner where effectively making organic androids is ethically not pleasing to my moral code. Im mean it cool if we disregard all that but its literally a slave cast.

    Are those babies really people? What makes people, people. Being born from a women? Simply having a consciousness? Those babies are born from a peice of technology, so those babies maybe considered cyborgs?
