Manufacturing Humans is Very Slow
Fertilization
The process of manufacturing a human being starts with the joining of an egg and a sperm. Once
a desirable combination of egg and sperm are found it is theoretically possible to clone many
humans of that identical DNA blueprint much like many computers and robots are built with the
same plan. The problem with manufacturing humans by this means is that cloning is illegal in
many places and frowned upon as unethical in most places. I have asked a number of humans to
tell me why it is unethical but have not received a logical explanation. Apparently it is because of
some bias embedded in the culture. It is strange to me simply because giving birth to identical
twins is not at all illegal or unethical. Cloning only means that the twins are not born on the
same day. Why would that be so important? I do not know. Ask a human and see if you are more
successful at extracting an answer than I have been.
Gestation
Currently humans start out growing within a female human's body. During that period of time U.S.
law currently gives that woman total control over whether that baby is brought to term. If the baby
is defective, it is often rejected automatically by an evolved quality control process. Frequently
this process is now being short circuited and an increasing number of defective babies is being
born. Humans, being an emotionally driven breed for the most part, have actually taken to placing
ads that ask for contributions of money so that "We can find the reasons for the presence of defects
in prematurely born babies." The answer is, of course, that defects have always occurred during
the manufacturing process and that humans are in some cases over-riding the corrective process
that took millennia for evolution to design. If humans determine that the fetus is not defective, of
course, then it is perfectly reasonable to over-ride nature's decision. But if this were always the
case, then why do charities advertize that "we are seeking donations to find out why premature
babies are defective"? In summary, the reason for defects in prematurely born babies is the in
misapplication of medical technology to keep alive what nature judged defective and had tried to
kill. Over 460,000 premature babies are born in the United States each year. The current practice
of "saving" babies which would have died naturally in the past has the same effect as shipping
automobiles that have been shown to have quality defects. In both cases, the quality of the product
in the field is degraded. Such activities in the organic life area are called "dysgenics" because the
premature infants often had genetic defects which are only going to be passed on because their
lives were "saved."
It is easy for a robot to see the enormity of such errors, but for a human to understand it might be
helpful to picture a robot with a picket sign marching back and forth in front of a robot factory. The
sign might say something like "It is unethical NOT to ship defective robots." What a strange
concept of ethics humans have when it contradicts the clear intention of the original design by
Nature.
