that paper has GOT to be a thinly veiled gruesome fetish manuscript, involving at least a couple corpses.

This is seriously fucked up, but I don't get the capitalism part of it?

How many viable children could a vegetable human create before the body just turns into meat slag? (Serious question)

Gotta get that birthrate back up somehow, and having an equitable society obviously isn't an option

What does this have to do with capitalism? Did we just switch from "everything bad is communism" to "everything bad is capitalism"?

id love to keep it "boring"

the "interesting" parts of a dystopia arent usually very healthy for us...

One of the benefits of living and working in a liberal society is that stuff like this can get publicly published, discussed and rejected if deemed bad. Under totalitarian regimes that public forum is absent, which is why some of the worst ideas/atrocities of the Soviet Union only came to light years after they had happened (instead of being rejected before they could happen). When it comes to human rights, liberalism > communism, and it's not even close.

IMO

We don't need more people in the world right now. We should be concentrating on figuring out how to agree on having and applying the best support for the ones we already have first.

This has very little to do with what our actual dystopia will do. I mean, I thought that this was by someone who was probably thinking of the families that lost someone to a coma and had been looking for grandchildren, but no, they are seriously suggesting this simply because of its utility.. Even so, all hail the new future tech bro hivemind and all, but still, not very likely. If it is something that is capable of being truly considered by societies, it will also be capable of considering worse things over it.
