that paper has GOT to be a thinly veiled gruesome fetish manuscript, involving at least a couple corpses.

Gotta get that birthrate back up somehow, and having an equitable society obviously isn't an option

This is seriously fucked up, but I don't get the capitalism part of it?

They aren't keeping brain dead women as incubators for free.

How many viable children could a vegetable human create before the body just turns into meat slag? (Serious question)

USA, where abortion is effectively illegal. ~~Went~~ Why can't adoption be a solution?

This has very little to do with what our actual dystopia will do. I mean, I thought that this was by someone who was probably thinking of the families that lost someone to a coma and had been looking for grandchildren, but no, they are seriously suggesting this simply because of its utility.. Even so, all hail the new future tech bro hivemind and all, but still, not very likely. If it is something that is capable of being truly considered by societies, it will also be capable of considering worse things over it.
