Do the downvotes cause you pain? Just leave your original comment.
Yes they do. I don't know why but I really should just stop using these forums.

Perhaps there might be a higher level question at hand here. What level of caution is appropriate when the deliberate choice of inaction has a price tag of six digits of lives attached? What level of risk and potentially unforeseen consequences are we willing to accept?
This is not an idle question. It's a critical question for informing a decision-making framework that rests on calculation. Which we need here - I think we can all agree that personal ick-factor is a bad approach to large-scale public policy.
Which is to say you're right. We cannot be certain that won't happen with this approach. Indeed, we cannot be certain of all consequences with any approach.
With that in mind, what level of certainty should we require?
Another criticism of this haste is that you set yourself up to be taken advantage of by profiteers or genuine malicious actors. I understand the urgency to save lives as soon as possible; but the risk is high and uncertain.

I'm glad you're in favor of artifical wombs, but until that happens, please note that the live ones are attached to people who deserve the same degree of bodily autonomy you have.
Simplest possible case: there is no situation in which the current law will force you to donate your organs in order to save someone else's life. Even if you're already dead, you get to control your body through a pre-registration, an affirmative choice. The anti-abortion laws require women to potentially sacrifice their lives to save others.
