I mean, not shooting sperm has no downside.
Unless you're trying to conceive and nature has decided it isn't in the cards for you ;-) OK, no downside for me personally.  |

I would rather crawl six miles through broken glass and rusty razor blades to get to my appointment to get fixed with no anesthetic rather than have a second child....

I'd have 10 more kids if I could, the Mrs isn't keen on a 2nd though.

I really want a third, but we're getting old and I'm not super hip on having a kid with Downs Syndrome or some other problem. The kids we've got are healthy, so we're probably going to stop at 2.

Two is definitely enough for us, we went through Hell to have them and I'm not going to do that again. The strain that it put on my marriage might not ever be completely erased.
I have the same sort of issues with the twins, they'll cry and beg to be held and fuss and follow her around. I'll tell her to go out for coffee or go to the basement and read, they'll fuss for a bit and then just sit and play. It's causing a HUGE amount of strife in my household as we're not exactly seeing eye to eye.
I'm definitely no great example of parenting, but this one seems pretty obvious to me. Routine is everything.

No, there is actually no downside as you say since we no longer even NEED sperm to conceive. You need DNA, and that's it. Lesbian couples have been flirting with this tech for a while now actually. Hell, we dont even need wombs nowadays either. Viable artificial ones (rather the ones we hear about) have been around for over 10 yrs. Bush doctrine made them illegal past 2 weeks though. Think of it. Most highly evolved organisms procreate externally, they dont inject eachother with liquid (risky), carry around a 12lb sac for 9 months (riskier), and then manually "birth" it (riskier still). The smarter/safer way is building a human selectively and then letting the machine carry it to term... whilst you continue to work, drink lattes, and have sex w/o worry. |

Which highly evolved organisms are those that typically reproduce externally?

And insects, birds, most fish... and on and on. The older the organism the higher the chance they use eggs and external fertilization (not so much the latter though).
Mammals and humans in particular are the new kids on the block. Our method of reproduction is considered barbaric in the natural scheme of things.
Aside from that, our young are amongst the most helpless in nature. It's amazing we're not extinct actually.

I imagine there are probably reasons why complex mammals with enlarged brains have fairly helpless children and don't leave them lying around in eggs everywhere. The fact that we have technology that can take care of our unborn speaks to our prowess, not the flaws of the birthing system (which undeniably has drawbacks).

Yet currently most of the world is dominated (and significantly so) by the apparently less evolutionarily fit mammals of which you speak. |

Yeah, sorry Ghambit. Your suggestion doesn't make a lot of sense. Cockroaches aren't "highly evolved". In fact, I don't think we can think of anything as highly evolved until they at least achieve spaceflight.
