While pro-child mutilation and job-stealing bots dominate conversations about a coming dystopia, another hellish threat to our bodies, minds, and souls has lurked for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to big fertility, dystopia has been on America\u2019s doorstep for years now. Few may realize it, but fears that society will be corrupted by a profit-driven, morally ambiguous industry that takes advantage of humans should have already found cause for concern in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-announces-major-investment-in-ivf-to-reverse-birth-rate-collapse\/\" title=\"China Announces Major Investment in IVF to Reverse Birth Rate Collapse\">assisted reproductive technologies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that, with its ability to redefine even the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/health-officials-backtrack-did-they-just-admit-this\/\" title=\"Health Officials Backtrack, Did They Just Admit This?\">complex natural processes<\/a> and sell them to the public, the test tube baby market embodies the dehumanization of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>On July 25, 1978, Louise Brown became the first \u201ctest tube\u201d baby to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/as-reproductive-technology-advances-remember-just-because-we-can-doesnt-mean-we-should\/\" title=\"As Reproductive Technology Advances, Remember: Just Because We Can Doesn\u2019t Mean We Should\">successfully born<\/a> of IVF experimentation. Her entry into the world was hailed as \u201cgroundbreaking\u201d for the rapidly evolving world of assisted reproduction but was ultimately unsurprising to researchers who devoted decades to IVF.<\/p>\n<p>For years before Brown\u2019s conception, scientists in labs all over the world sought out new methods to meddle with procreation. The first recorded account of such experimentation came in the 1890s at the hand of Cambridge professor Walter Heape, who transplanted rabbit embryos into rabbit uteruses. His work was expanded in 1934 by Gregory Pincus who tried to mix rabbit egg and sperm \u201cin the glass top of his watch and implanted the developing embryo in a surrogate rabbit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By 1948, researchers such as Miriam Menkin and John Rock were extracting eggs and sperm from humans and forcing them together in a lab. In 1959, Chinese scientist and birth control developer Min Chueh Chang successfully combined all of the methods used by his reproductive researcher predecessors to see an entire IVF cycle through in a rabbit.<\/p>\n<p>It was in the middle of all reproductive rustling that Aldous Huxley warned against the dangers of manipulating nature in his 1932 novel Brave New World, in which hundreds of clone babies with handpicked genetics are grown in and \u201cborn\u201d from pods.<\/p>\n<h3>A Failing Social Experiment<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with desiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prageru-a-fathers-questions-for-black-lives-matter\/\" title=\"PragerU: A Father\u2019s Questions For Black Lives Matter\">biological children<\/a>, but the practices society uses to solve Americans\u2019 increasing infertility deprive children of their parents in very unhelpful ways.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the scientists who researched assisted reproduction in the 1900s did so because of their explicit desire to help infertile couples have an opportunity to have biological children through unconventional practices. Others, however, openly flaunted the dilution of the sacred act of reproduction as a means to execute a eugenics agenda that permeates big fertility to this day.<\/p>\n<p>This decades-long \u201cobsession\u201d with harvesting women\u2019s eggs, combining them with sperm, and then trying to keep the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/worried-about-an-ai-dystopia-the-global-fertility-industry-has-it-beat-by-decades\/\" title=\"AI dystopia concerns? Global fertility industry already ahead.\">newly conceived petri dish children alive resulted<\/a> in the loss of countless microscopic lives. One such instance occurred in 1973 when the baby at the center of the \u201cfirst early IVF pregnancy in the world\u201d died in the womb less than one week after being transferred from a lab into a uterus.<\/p>\n<p>Since its beginnings, assisted reproduction has wreaked havoc on women\u2019s bodies and minds, deliberately left innocent children without mothers or fathers, made human existence transactional, effectively doomed millions of unborn lives to frozen orphanages, and created a moral and ethical minefield of problems for generations.<\/p>\n<h3>Humanity Is at Risk<\/h3>\n<p>Alone, technologies like ART and AI are a great threat to virtue and individualism. The fusion of these two lucrative yet morally ambiguous markets, as researchers all over the globe repeatedly propose, could prove to be more dangerous than ever.<\/p>\n<p>There is a belief among the rich and academic that science and technology can create capabilities beyond humans\u2019 current physical and mental limitations. What was once an obsession with transcending death, however, has shifted in recent years to become an obsession with transcending life.<\/p>\n<p>Assisted reproductive technologies and AI have been named as tools to advance that agenda because both stem from a desire to distance and even detach us from the natural limits of our bodies and minds. People seek reproductive technologies to outpace their biological clocks or navigate the infertility hurdles they unexpectedly face. People seek artificial intelligence because it can perform research and tasks faster than humanly possible.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, that is not a sustainable way to live. Humans need physical and intellectual connections with each other, and both of those are threatened by the rise of ART and AI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan Boyd<\/strong> is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
