Oh, Brave New World!
Oh hey capitalism wants to create the Daemonculaba.
that paper has GOT to be a thinly veiled gruesome fetish manuscript, involving at least a couple corpses.
I honestly don't see a problem with that, as long as the woman gave her consent while she was of sound mind. Surrogate pregnancy is already a fairly common thing; this is just extending it to after one is brain-dead.
Obviously if it's done nonconsensually that's an entirely different matter, and is a horrifying idea (imagine miraculously waking up from an 8 month coma only to find you're pregnant with someone else's child).

we need the original author's names.
they need to be on a list somewhere for... additional oversight.
just saying you don't come to this 'scientific conclusion' in a vacuum, someone needs to check the rest of their.... social circle.
Well it was a woman philosopher and likely written with the dichotomy in mind that we accept brain dead organ donation while reviling paying people to sell one their kidneys/part of their livers/one of their lungs and also accept surrogacy while reviling this modest proposal.

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?

id love to keep it "boring"
the "interesting" parts of a dystopia arent usually very healthy for us...
One step closer to a Brave New World
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.
So the Tleilaxu are real ??
