    “The Colombian Medical College published an article which focused on a November 2022 paper from Norwegian philosophy professor, Anna Smajdor.” https://archive.is/8WFEW

    Anna Smajdor’s research as published on the Columbian Medical College journal, Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics https://archive.is/96XRR

    This idea first came from an Israeli researcher which is very unnerving

    “Smajdor, who works for the University of Oslo, refers to this idea as ‘whole body gestational donation’ or ‘WBGD’ – a concept first proposed by an Israeli researcher in 2000.”

    It’s interesting how this “capitalist” solution is trying to solve the problem of birthing new children without thinking on how those children are going to be raised. Without a social safety net to help those kids get to a mature age and without parents to rely on, how the hell is this even a solution?

      Choice of the word “surrogate” suggests they’re thinking of it as on-demand baby-factories for people who already want one but can’t have them the natural way.

      Excuse me, I have a date with my toilet bowl now…

    “The Colombian Medical College published an article which focused on a November 2022 paper from Norwegian philosophy professor, Anna Smajdor, in which she argues that using the uteruses of women who previously gave consent but are now clinically brain dead to carry surrogate pregnancies to full term ‘deserves serious consideration,’ and might be thought of in the same way as organ donation.” https://archive.is/8WFEW
