Taking away the responsibility of pregnancy from women could result in less wealth inequality by gender, one billionaire argued.
Several prominent tech entrepreneurs discussed the possibility of replacing natural birth with synthetic wombs, arguing that such technology would remove the “burden” of pregnancy and allow women to work more.
After Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk warned on Tuesday that society “should be much more worried about population collapse,”Musk’s fellow tech leaders came up with one solution for declining birth rates.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of cryptocurrency Ethereum, agreed, arguing that women would be able to continue working if the “burden of pregnancy” was replaced with synthetic wombs.
