    I always have doubts about the ability of "science" to replicate or replace biological processes that have evolved over billions of years. Try as they might, the eggheads can never really match, let alone, surpass nature. Not that I'm categorically opposed to trying or experimenting, but I tend to approach this sort of "progress" with a high degree of skepticism.

    You had no problem injecting yourself with the latest and greatest that "science" had to offer, even though it was totally experimental. You are actually a pretty progressive guy beneath that gruff exterior.

    It's a mystery why this place doesn't have more active female membership.

    They're both examples of experimental scientific procedures acting as substitutes for natural processes.

    You are perfectly fine with injecting yourself with the experimental COVID shot because underneath it all you're actually quite a progressive guy. No real reason why you shouldn't embrace artificial wombs either.
