It's terrifying how many comments seems to be supporting this terrifying suggestion as a viable option. For anyone wondering. Thing is, if a brain is dead, the body starts to rot, a lot of the functions your brain does, keep the body not rotting. When your brain dies and your body starts rotting, medicine can hit your corpse with some hard drugs to delay the rot a little, but they're not compatible with growing a fertilised egg to maturity. What the absolute fuck.
Why does this sound like Death Stranding…
Technically it's Dune.
Look up axlotl tanks.
Time to move into a lone shelter in the woods and wait until all cities randomly explode
Wait until they realize this has nothing to do with capitalism….
The christofascism definitely has a billionaire's dick in its mouth.
ROFL… lemmy is so funny.
Tbf the idea people think of that instead of better work-life-balance and free school lunches is studiable.
I think they did that in one of the Dune spinoffs
Yes, they're called axlotl tanks.
This is sort or a Frank Herbert trope actually. You might be thinking of Hellstrom's Hive, in particular "reproductive stumps".
As Gandalf said, it is grim reading.
I’m not sure how this has to do with capitalism
capitalism, or at least the flavour we enjoy in “the west”, needs continued increases in profit and growth or baby Jesus will cry or something.
The easiest way to do that is by increasing population. Most of the countries that have actually benefited from capitalism over the last 80 years are now seeing declining populations (or at least working populations) as the desperation to funnel wealth upwards makes the idea of starting a family unpalatable.
This is why “wealthy” capitalist counties are all importing migrants at unprecedented rates. However this upsets the nationalism that goes hand in hand with exploitative capitalism as they don’t want to “lose their country” to the very people propping it up.
The next logical step is brain dead baby makers.
"The next logical step is brain dead baby makers"
I thought those were conservatives
Don't you bring baby Jesus into this. 8 pound 4 oz Jesus has nothing to do with this.
It’s a weak joke. They should have mentioned selling the womb, which is definitely not implied. Low effort tankie bs

I think the connection they're going for is this is the kind of hair brained distopian bullshit that eventually comes trying to achieve "infinite growth"in a finite world.

Yes, sure, and cannibalism solves overpopulation and starvation in one easy step....
Doesn't make it a good idea.
Eating the rich sure looks tempting
Naww. Let's mulch them, make good food from their otherwise useless bodies.
Good meat going to waste, it got all that plastic in it ! Yummy
This is part of the plot of Death Stranding. We're gonna have oil ghosts soon.
Honestly don't have a problem with this if there was prior consent in a living will. I could see a lot of people willing to sign up for this.
Honestly main unethical part is that there are the alternatives "making it cheaper to raise children" or "needing less households where both parents have to work full-time" yet we debate this.
