Eh. How is that any different from the thousand of goods and services parents will pay for for their children?
People want kids. Infertility treatments aren't morally wrong. And money is how we barter for goods and services.
And don't try the intellectually lazy cop out of "just adopt!"
How is it different? That's like saying what's the difference between selling babies or baby toys at Walmart? And additionally what does it matter if those babies were grown in artificial wombs or using AI-generated DNA or some other techno-dystopian horror?
No one is buying babies. JFC. You're insane. People have fertility problems and doctors help them with them. No different than if you broke your dick and couldn't fuck anyone, and a doc helped you out with your problem.
But sure, let's masturbate about gattaca instead.
There's a big difference between fixing something that's broken and finding a workaround that ignores how things are supposed to be done.
You're supposed to be picking berries in a forest. That's what you're supposed to be doing.
Until you get back to that, you can shove it with the naturalist fallacy.
