Spermatozoid that couldn’t be able to fertilise in a natural way. For sure it won’t create any disease or incapacitated newborns, won’t it?

ch00f,

The sperm is not a self-reproducing cell. The chromosomes it carries are not used to make it.

That could happen anyway unless you follow the eugenics path, but that’s a completely different story. These nanobots should be seen more like a prosthesis probably, or a walker

This is clearly a case of “just because we can doesn’t mean we should”. Sounds like a really bad idea to create life from sperm that doesn’t even move. Some people are just not meant to have kids and should come to terms with it instead of passing their own problems on to the next generation. I think it’s selfish. Also it’s not like there aren’t enough people already, adopt and give a good life to a healthy child that otherwise wouldn’t have a future.

I actually find the nanobot something crazy. Regarding the “artificial insemination” question, I guess only those having such problems should speak. Just like the abortion question.

Observer1199,

That’s the same as saying only those with lots of money should be able to speak about how to manage wealth because poor people don’t have experience doing so.

Mmm, we’re not talking about money but personal choices. Do you want me to criticize your life ? Tell me about it and I’ll do if you like

StormNinjaPenguin,

Nobody should be criticised for being infertile because it is not a personal choice.

Easing evolutionary pressure on a species should not be a personal choice and must be criticised.

So pls stop taking any medicine, nature decided you should die earlier without any cure. It shouldn’t be a personal choice to stay alive according to your view. Com’on

StormNinjaPenguin,

You can’t equate a treatment that restores correct operation of an individual to one that potentially increases infertility in the population.

You’re sperm might be slow just because you’re a bit old, you know ? Now you’ll say you don’t have to have children if you’re old, right?

Dum,

Oh yeah it’s really crazy impressive, from a technology pov this is amazing.

I concede I’m neither a biologist nor a doctor, and if lazy sperm is not genetic, respectively if children born from this would lead a completely normal life: awesome. I just think knowingly passing on serious disabilities with a high chance to a new generation is something that should be avoided, specifically because you can’t ask the people affected, which is the children born. In the end, it’s just my ignorant weird feeling from what looks like Frankensteining together something that seems dead to create new life.

Well, if i had to follow that kind of belief, we should avoid old people (either man or woman) to have children because sperm from old man is not that good, regarding eggs we all well know the problems occurring with aging. But people smoke, drink, do stupid things and so on. So, if those are small cases I guess it’s fine. We’re having problems in case that becomes the standard way of having babies. However, we’re experiencing a wave of women who wants to go back in time andd have babies without even going to the hospitals, so maybe things will fall into place naturally, in the end they are those who decide

    it’s another way to violate your privacy.

    It’s probably both if we’re being honest. A lot of services definitely don’t want bots. But they also want to take as much of your personal info as possible.

    TWeaK,

    I’m of the belief that Google themselves runs (or more likely subcontracts) many of the bots that target websites not running captcha.

    roboter5123,

    They don’t want bots because they can’t steal Personal Info from a bot

    Holy shit. This looks like it’s generated by CGI. Damn, nature is scary, but somehow, awesome!

    Simultaneously cool and trypophobia inducing for me.

    Being in China I hope it’s built to some sort of earthquake proof code…

    Mr_Blott,

    Being in China it won’t matter because it’s fuckin empty

    cbarrick,

    Wait, really?

    I always assumed China had these massive complexes because of the population density.

    Franzia,

    No, frequently chinese devlopments are built far in advance of the population moving there. There are multiple fully built modern ghost cities. That may not be the case here in Sanya City, though. I haven’t looked into it.

    Zorque,

    Thats the intention, but a lot of buildings are getting half-finished, then sold when they lose funding... just to be demolished so they can start all over again.

    ThatWeirdGuy1001,
    @ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Yes and no. There are a lot of places in China that are high population density but also hundreds of completely empty skyscrapers.

    Kinda like how in the US you have entire neighborhoods completely empty built for the sole purpose of artificially raising house prices in the area.

    agressivelyPassive,

    Chinese people (the ordinary ones, not the rich) have almost nowhere to invest their money somewhat secure because of capital control and hard control of the stock market by the CCP.

    Coupled with a culturally ingrained appreciation for real estate, this led to a huge housing boom - it’s the only viable investment and there’s the expectation that young men own real estate. And this turned into a huge bubble where shoddy, unusable buildings are built in hastily “developed” areas that will never house people.

    This bubble was about to burst, but since that could endanger the CCP, they managed to turn that into a rapid deflation instead.
