Neither are women in that scenario.
Touché.
Thus far, however, no one has yet figured how to bring a human to fruition outside of the womb. So, a woman would still be needed for that part of the whole scenario.
I’m sure, one of these days scientists will figure it out, a la Brave New World and “decanting”.
Or the Replicants from “Bladerunner” (you know, I’ve never really figured out whether they’re actually machines, bio-machine, genetically engineered humans, clones, or all of the above - they remind me of the “Robots” from Capek’s “RUR”).
