Imagine a world where abortionists who are pregnant get their brains put into robots where they can’t partake in the beauty of procreation. we can even set up “secret” abortion hospitals to act like roach traps no one dies
It doesn't work to make you immortal. You still die, just there's now an exact duplicate of you that lives on.
if the bodies were durable, high quality and long lasting, many on both sides of this debate would sign up sounds like a thread fail
Wouldn't sterilization be comparable? Maybe not even after the first one. There could be some sort of "Three Strikes You're Out" rule.
I assume you mean artificial wombs... hopefully. No, would be a waste of money to keep unwanted embryos alive with those. Embryos don't have minds and are not persons. If you're talking about uploading consciousness (assuming it's possible) I don't know how you can know. Perhaps it would change your consciousness. Perhaps it could be uploaded and downloaded and it would just feel like you got sent back a few moments in memory and awaken somewhere else. Even if possible, it wouldn't mean immortality - some kind of accident would eventually happen, but it would greatly expand the time in which a being could exist (assuming souls don't exist).
Sooooooo- what is your plan for the millions of frozen embryos in storage at the moment? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6911130/ Tell you what - how about instead of weird fantasies about children that might never be we concentrate on saving the babies HERE. America’s infant mortality rate is one of the worst in the developed nations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_mortality And it pales in regard to deaths of babies throughout the world
Maybe,. but I don't think so. Twins are separate people from the beginning, even though they're about as close to clones as you can get..
