When babies are born they are so helpless might future people keep babies in artificial wombs till they reach an age where they are less vulnerable?
Newborns would probably never want to come out. I don't really think the idea of extending all rights (freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of labor) to children is a good idea unless we want humanity to go extinct. Kids shouldn't be slave laborers but forcing them to learn things is something I agree with.
The problem is too much uniformity. Childhood is messy, but it pretty much guarantees us that everybody has unique ways of looking at the world, and I think that's the big good behind making more people. Making lots of clones with identical experiences doesn't really do it for me.
Identical upbringing in the womb-school, instead of the infinite variety of learning in the real world.
That's pretty identical, even if their genes are different.

If the wombs are clear is there any reason to ever stop?
