I am thinking in the not too distant future children will be vat grown and raised by the state. I think in hte next fifty years humans will be sexless and could screw in bionic pensises to pleasure each other. Normal humans will go the way of the dodo boid.

You know, of all the things that I thought might be posted about when I logged in to Dakka this evening, I did not expect this one.

Thats why I like Dakka, you just never know. I was expecting GW sux rants and something about president Obama, but I log in and WHAM! - Detachable Penises

Will I be able to attach them to what ever I like?

Only if you vow to fight crime with your newly adjustable appendage...

Hte forehead FTW.

Only whiners will pos InB4lokke posts. This is a serious thread about the crimes of mind control and tampering wif genetic matters on a world wide scale.

GBF... you have earned a Bonus Point

It'd all about those BPs mate.

To salvage what I can of the OP.

In the reasonably near future we can expect mechanical surrogacy, pregnancy is inconveneient and childbirth is unpleasant and risky, so what could be better than a system where those who can afford have test tube babies fertilised from extracted sperm and egg, genetically enhanced/repaired as needed and then grown in a vat.

Considerably less stress on the mother and once the tech is established possibly healthier for the child too.


However reversible gender, that is a lot more far fetched.

Bring a new meaning to test tube babies?

This is so ing funny!

Whats the joke. We have the technology to fertilise artificially since thwe 1970's, we are a way off yet before the artificial womb is a reasdy concept but it is feasible. It could be assisted by alolowing the foetus to grow in the mother for a short while to grow such essentially as the placental sac etc. The whole lot can be cut out when small and placed in a prepared container. The container would be artificial, it could more easily be an animal host, though with severe ethical problems . Too many societal problems would occur for placental embryos being implanted in a surrogate animal such as a pig, but the biology is within reasonable reach. After all we already have surrogate human motherhood, its proven technology used today. If we can transfer a pregancy from one woman to another, we can look to transfering it to an animal host and ultimately a womb machine.

Some would argue that the first part just requires marriage, and the second is a matter of technology.
Having a rough Rule 34 evening GBF?

Total Brave New World scenario. I imagine before our "Snorris" are genetically pre-programed not to appear during gestation, there would have to be some sort of mass culling/genocide/kool-aid drinking fest to make everyone go along with this. It doesn't sound to appealing either as everyone would either look like a really fugly chick or effeminate dude. Seriously, it'd be like nailing an organic mannequin. On the flipside, where-o-where would these bionic appendages be targetted towards? If this were the reality, I'm thinking electrical socket.

thats SO wrong that its right.

Frazzled you're canadian now?

We can attach blue pensises to Wrexasuckus forehead in hte near future.

G

Wait we can't now?

The technology does not presently exist unless you opt for a strap-on variant. YMMV.

G

GBF , your idea reminds me of Simoune

I am not amused... . Wrexasuckus eh? How about... Wrexaruckus... one letter, I win.

Oh my, this was a tread I never thought I see. Anyways no this will only happen when a Abbandon lead assult actually manages to win

Luna I see you have finally succumbed to the draksied. I am curious if you are male or female.

G

Gender will be nothing more than a nightly choice, much like evening wear is today. Your obvious screw-on unit(s) will be the talk of cocktail parties. Members and member-less clubs will be the norm. The most horrifying of all will be the events where future tupperware salesmen will have events where you can try out or test-drive various models.

Some people will opt to be multisexual so they can fack themselves. Coming will be twice intense .

G

Detachable penis you say???? Hmm.... welll there is a song about that.

That song is full of win!

Sorta like this?

Yes indeed I ripped that song specifically to entitle this particular thread. There's nothing new under hte sun as the olde saying goes.
