gollark: I see.
gollark: That has basically never worked because, weirdly enough, people don't seem to be good at dealing with complex long-term consequences when doing sex things.
gollark: Which I disagree with, yes.
gollark: If it became possible to grow babies externally or conveniently move them, that might be an acceptable solution too.
gollark: To rethingy: I think that, regardless of whose body or creation or whatever it is, the person who is actually carrying it and bears the associated issues of having it glued to their circulatory system and such should get to decide whether to keep doing that.
