The Awe Of Motherhood
This is a very personal concept of mine. I have been playing with the idea of surrogate robots who give birth to human babies. We already offer surrogacy among humans and I believe it is only a matter of time until we introduce this option in robots. Why not simply use tanks, you’d ask? Because the neurological connection between the mothers brain and behavior and the fetus is irreplacable to the childs primary wetware coding. We need super high Artificial Intelligence to guarantee a safe delivery of a healthy baby,
The downside? If the robot has a full array of feelings and thoughts, how would a sentient surrogate such as her feel about having to give away the child she carried and gave birth to? After all, she was not asked to perform this task, but still feels the bond with the child as any mother would. Is this were new laws against slavery need to be put in place?
And how would the media portray the first birth of this kind?I immediately thought of the virgin mother mary, as she also was ‘artificially inseminated’ by god. And we (god), who created her (mary), put our son (jesus) into her.
