This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I actually find the nanobot something crazy. Regarding the "artificial insemination" question, I guess only those having such problems should speak. Just like the abortion question.
Oh yeah it's really crazy impressive, from a technology pov this is amazing.
I concede I'm neither a biologist nor a doctor, and if lazy sperm is not genetic, respectively if children born from this would lead a completely normal life: awesome. I just think knowingly passing on serious disabilities with a high chance to a new generation is something that should be avoided, specifically because you can't ask the people affected, which is the children born. In the end, it's just my ignorant weird feeling from what looks like Frankensteining together something that seems dead to create new life.
Well, if i had to follow that kind of belief, we should avoid old people (either man or woman) to have children because sperm from old man is not that good, regarding eggs we all well know the problems occurring with aging. But people smoke, drink, do stupid things and so on. So, if those are small cases I guess it's fine. We're having problems in case that becomes the standard way of having babies. However, we're experiencing a wave of women who wants to go back in time andd have babies without even going to the hospitals, so maybe things will fall into place naturally, in the end they are those who decide
Mmm, we're not talking about money but personal choices. Do you want me to criticize your life ? Tell me about it and I'll do if you like
Nobody should be criticised for being infertile because it is not a personal choice.
Easing evolutionary pressure on a species should not be a personal choice and must be criticised.
So pls stop taking any medicine, nature decided you should die earlier without any cure. It shouldn't be a personal choice to stay alive according to your view. Com'on
You can’t equate a treatment that restores correct operation of an individual to one that potentially increases infertility in the population.
You're sperm might be slow just because you're a bit old, you know ? Now you'll say you don't have to have children if you're old, right?
