According to a report by the “Russia Today” website on the 19th, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk issued a warning that “should be more worried about population collapse”. Some high-tech entrepreneurs are again discussing the possibility of replacing women’s natural childbirth with an “artificial womb”. But this imagining has caused huge social controversy.
“We should invest in artificial womb technology that can make childbirth faster, cheaper and easier.”

Another founder, Vitalik Buterin, also believes that if artificial wombs can relieve humans of the “burden of pregnancy”, women can be liberated and devoted to work. Buterin said he supported artificial womb technology in the hope that it would eliminate “wealth inequality between men and women.”
The remarks of the two founders of Ethereum have been criticized by many public opinion. Many people think that this idea is too “utopian”, and it is no different from the human beings cultivated in the laboratory in the movie “The Matrix” (the human body is incubated and cultivated by the machine, and the mind is also controlled by the machine).
Another said, “Why not create a system where all those who contribute to society can earn enough money to start a family, buy a house and live?”
