@Arcana @vriska @Moon @coolboymew @Piss_Ant I am pro-humans and anti-anything that reduces them to tools valued for body parts. E.g., I despise the sex industry and am suspicious of organ donation because both cause physical harm to people while benefiting others in some way. Even saving human lives doesn’t necessarily justify swooping like vultures on a dying human to take advantage of their remains.

Additionally, consent is murky due to the emotional pressure to save others by donating organs, or in the case of being prostituted, due to financial necessity and factors such as language barriers or mental health barriers causing difficulty finding work.

Therefore, because pregnancy/birth physically injure women for the sake of the future child, while continuing society and emotionally profiting others (spouse, family, and so on—and again consent is dubious due to enormous pressure to submit—I believe it’s exploitative.

I don’t think humanity itself is evil: just the current means of its creation. Pregnancy should be phased out and replaced by gestation outside human bodies. Which in addition to preventing thousands of maternal deaths in a single year, could be developed by first continuing to improve incubation of premature babies until full gestation becomes viable.
