So, as a woman, I’ll tell you a real beef I have. It is the whole industry and commercialization of the reproductive business. There are countless stories of in vitro fertilization (IVF) gone bad. White couples giving birth to babies of color because embryos got mixed up before implantation. Young girls selling their eggs on the internet to pay for their college education. Women not wanting to bother with pregnancy so they use IVF and surrogates to have their children for them. And plus just the who attitude of children being made as we see fit. Pick and choose kids! What does that say about our human future?
