No! The application is sparing women the difficulties of pregnancy, which
can
be huge - temporarily, nausea, weight gain, buying a new wardrobe, exclusion
from many sports, and childbirth itself: permanently, incontinence and pelvic
restructuring. One (non-extropian) friend of mine wished humans had evolved
from dinos or birds so she could have just laid one small egg and been done
with
it. Both my mother and sister-in-law hated it and my sister-in-law, although
she would like more children, is not sure she can put herself through that
again.
