London, England (LifeNews.com) -- A new report indicates artificial reproduction could take place with a capsule inside a woman's body rather than using traditional treatment at a fertility clinic. Pro-life groups are concerned that the "progress" in fertility treatment continues to commodify human life.

The Invocell technique involves the mixing of eggs and sperm in a pill-like container that is placed inside a woman's vagina for three days.

How strange.

To me, actually, it makes sense—this is IVF (embryo culture) done not in a test tube in a lab, but right in the woman’s body, which is the proper temp for incubation. . .

I wonder when someone will create an artificial womb? Or you can just rent a womb from a migrant.

How strange.

Yea, well, if people don't have their own babies, their line of genes die out.

[Mr. K]

I don’t think I would fit in a capsule that small

[JesusBmyGod]

Man there sure is a pill for everything these days. What’s next? A pill that will make me rich? Geez.

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a pharmacist...

I want my rib back.

[Clock King]

We got a pill for that.

Not you, entirely, just your essence.

Yea, well, if people don't have their own babies, their line of genes die out. Whose genes are so exceptional as to warrant such extreme procedures? Especially when there are millions of orphaned children in the world who need a stable, loving, safe home.

Or you can just rent a womb? That's already here. It's called surrogacy.

[MES401067]

I’m sure they do lol.

Whose genes are so exceptional as to warrant such extreme procedures? Especially when there are millions of orphaned children in the world who need a stable, loving, safe home.

Each living being's, to itself.

Adoption is an extremely kind gesture, in man and animal, in a functionally cruel world.

Religion may blot out the importance of one's genes to oneself, but no one can deny that the urge to protect it, is the most powerful basic instinct.

Yes, life is nasty.

There already is, but only the rich can afford it... one usually costs more than an arm and a leg.

Isn’t this really just another way of sperm “delivery”, time-shifted for optimum conditions? IVF TiVo-style?

Yes, I know—but this would make it easier. You just go to your local womb rental center, get a “pill” and insert. 9 months later, out pops the baby and you get your $50K (or whatever).
