Is it possible to create a pregnancy virus, scientifically speaking?

Bullshit premise since pregnancy isn't harmless and it does cause health problems.

Yes, impregnating someone against their will is rape, and it's literally impossible to do it without invading the woman's privacy or personal space.

Such a system actually exists in nature. Haplodiploid species give birth to females when impregnated, and males when not impregnated. The sex only switches the gender to female.

Yeah, but ummm what if there was a virus that made it so that children would become murderous psychopaths? You would probably support abortion and the execution of children in the streets in such a scenario.
Hahaha, I win again.

>> No.15925024

I don't get the first one. That's not a hypothetical, genetic diseases that massively harm quality of life already exist, and the question of whether this justifies abortion is (and should be) treated as a different ethical dilemma from the allowance of elective abortion of a normal pregnancy. One is the question of whether a hypothetical person's existence is more important than their quality of life, the other is the question of whether the rights of an unborn child supercede the desires of its mother.

You might be able to modify the ovum to contain a full genetic sequence instead of just half and undergo the chemical changes that usually occur only after sperm has entered but I don't think we have that capability at present.
In any case you could still prevent pregnancy by using birth control, tying off the fallopian tubes, sterilization or any other method that prevents the ovum from implanting or reaching the womb.

Incidentally this guy's premise is bullshit, impregnating someone against their will or even knowledge is definitely a violation regardless of the methodology used. And while I don't think killing is always morally wrong and in fact sometimes killing is morally an absolute necessity, unlimited consequence free baby killing because of your continual poor life choices is not a good way to set up a society.

You really can't since egg cell progenitors are haploid before a girl is even born. I guess theoretically you could genetically engineer a woman such that her dayghter had diploid eggs, but I doubt they'd be viable.
