And what about sex, Mr. AI?
Certainly sex, reproductive activity, is not counter productive.
People who are fertile and genetically acceptable will go once a year, probably in the summer, to the House of Mating.
There the men will be required have an electric probe inserted which will cause ejaculation into a cup.
That will then be used to impregnate females via AI.
Any resultant babies will be born in the spring and taken to the House of Babies where they will be cared for until they are old enough to go to the House of Children.
