There is a way it's human cloning/creating humans in pods.
There's no point cloning unless someone's willing to parent them. I don't fancy the chances of a healthy society from bringing up a huge percentage of the population in orphanages subjected to the usual pressures of capitalist lowest-bidder economics and
private equity money-grabbing.

But the sorts of money and assistance provided for child raising is pitiful. Six months paid leave? Yeah, okay, what about the other 17.5 years? Studies suggest that the cost to raise a child is (UK) ~£150-200k. So, £10k a year per child in benefits, then? Anyone up for the tax hikes to pay for that?
It's not just the money of course, it's the time and effort. Maybe parents who both work feel they don't have the time and energy, so where's the childcare and other support systems to help them out? Are there ways we can maybe
not disadvantage women's careers if they decide to have a child in their early 20s?
The problem is that all the cunts telling us we should have more children are actually the same people doing everything in their power to make having children even more difficult. Kemi Badenoch, British Tory party contender, thinks maternity leave is an outrage and mothers should be back at the coalface a few weeks after popping one out. They want to cut the child benefits because of all those poverty-stricken scroungers who drop out a swarm of feral, crotch goblins so they can hoover up the extra cash from honest, hard working families. And god forbid better childcare, because the wealthy have got their third mansion to buy so can't spare any to help the disadvantaged look after their kids. (Of course, the rich don't look after their own kids, that's what nannies are for. If everyone had a nanny, they wouldn't feel so privileged anymore.) Even maybe - gasp - find some way to increase sub-average wages to make kids more affordable? Christ no. Entrepreneurship will be dead if they have to give the proles a living wage.
Of course, sorry, there is one way some of these people want to encourage more children in a way consistent with their other beliefs, except it's
even worse: basically, roll back women's rights about 70 or more years. Once women can't do things like work or vote anymore and are safely dependent on their husbands again, they'll either be desperate to have a child so they have something to do or the husband can beat them until they're appropriately obedient.
