If it becomes a thing capitalists could try to implement systems that make more brain dead women than would exist naturally, so that there are more babies to become workers. Look at for profit prisons and how we have more people in prison than any other country. If they want something they can pay to get it

But this came out of a public university in Colombia. Nobody ever suggested doing it for profit.

More babies = more future workers = $$$
