What's the world's most pressing need today: Fighting Covid-19 Pandemic, Creating Synthetic Womb and Increasing World's Population or Dealing with Hunger, Starvation and Hardship?

After reading a post writing by @ura-soul titled: Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin Joins Elon Musk & Other Technocrats In Publicly Pushing SYNTHETIC WOMBS Because We Need More Humans! The War on The Mother Continues, it borders me what rich billionaires use their leisure time to do. According to the post, Elon Musk said that the world lacked humans and needs to encourage the production of more children. Is this not the highest form of lunacy and deceit or maybe an irony when you look at the world's population and the majority living below poverty line and those dieing from hunger and starvation. It pains me to see men of high reputation tweeting irrelevant things instead of seeking for solutions that'll end the on going pandemic and hunger ravaging the world today. This is your friend and brother @inspiredbyhive.

The entire world is being ravaged by the covid-19 pandemic and the harmful nature of it's vaccine that have killed more people than the coronavirus itself. Although, the pandemic is traceable to a laboratory experimental work and it's used as a biological weapon targeted towards a certain nation or people. My concern is not in who is targeted but the solution of the pandemic so that people can return to their normal life. In December, the hospitality sector lost a lot of money due to the Covid-19 restrictions placed during the Christmas season. Most jobs were shutdown while other have sacked workers due to their inabilities to meet up with the wages of their employees. To me this is the most pressing need and not the increasing the world's population. Although, the pandemic shouldn't be our total focus, there are other pressing needs like solving insecurity and hunger in our society. Crimes in Sub-saharan African are usually associated with hunger, starvation, unemployment as well as inequities in our societies. The question is how did all this deviations started? This will be tackled below.

How did this idea of Synthetic Womb start?
In April 2017 a team of medical practitioners namely; Emily Partridge, Marcus Davey and Alan Flake are neonatologists, developmental physiologists and surgeons who work with extremely premature babies at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).Source This process started after the above mentioned medical practitioners successfully delivered a lamb which was detached from the mother for weeks and placed in a Biobag. The lambs didn’t grow in the bags from conception; they were taken from their mothers’ wombs by caesarean section, then submerged in the Biobag, at a gestational age equivalent to 23-24 weeks in humans. Actually, the research in science and technology on how to help deliver premature babies and help them survival until they're matured has been the dream of everyone who's premature baby have died in the womb before the child was born. This research cannot take or replace the gestation period in the womb of a woman.
The real idea behind the Biobag experiments is actually not to help solve the problem relating to premature babies but to reduce the involvement of women from child bearing who they describe as the most vulnerable specie in the world. According to those who believe in synthetic womb or artificial womb, they said that there's a big disparities between the male and female species. In @ura-soul's post, it was identified that once a woman get into marriage and child bearing, her dreams and aspirations are set in a show pace while the men continued to excel in all their endeavors in life. I think from my own point of view, the days of female marginalization are over, because most feminist and preacher's of gender equality have stressed that the male and female folks has equal rights and opportunities in the world. This is true actually in some societies. In Africa for instance, men are given the leadership role in the family as well as the community due to the patriarchal nature of that society. My belief is that since freedom of choice is free and enshrined in the constitution of several nations, then a female could choose whether to get married and get involved in child bearing or not. If she decided to get married our of her own will, then she should bear the brunt of child bearing and work extremely hard to achieve her dreams. It's just my little point of view.

Does the world really lack humans?
Elon Musk's tweet on the planet lacking humans amuses me if he's really on planet earth. China and India are already over populated with an estimation of over 3 billion people. Just two countries in the world have over 3 billion people and Elon Musk is saying the world needs more humans. I think he wanted to say something different and probably has a slip of tongue. To support Elon Musk's tweet, Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin brought up the issue of synthetic womb to the discussion. Like I said earlier, synthetic womb are targeted at liberating women from child bearing. Maybe I didn't tell us that the April 2017 artificial womb lamb experiments didn't start in the Biobag but in the womb of the mother, so I don't know how they would want to achieve this goal in the nearest future. I'm thinking that we may experience abnormal people doing abnormal things in the world when this is achieved. Abnormal people again? Just imagine you asking a supposed human being to go to the house and the person slaps you thinking that's the message passed to him or her. Is this what the world wants to experience in the nearest future when this experiment is concluded?

Dealing Hunger and Hardship across the World
The second aspect of this point is that if you look at the world population and the resources available to manage them is in great parity. This would have not been possible if the world's resources is shared amicably to everyone in the world. We all know that this is not possible. Capitalism and it's tenets will never allow everyone to enjoy the wealth and resources of the world. Since this is not achievable and the majority of the population of the world suffering, then we don't need more humans on earth. Look at the situation of Sub-saharan African and the rise of hunger and starvation or the incidents of famine and drought in East Africa most especially Ethiopia and it's axis. The suffering masses needs donations from Elon Musk and his allies more than creating more problem in increasing world's population.

I'll conclude by saying that too much money and riches sometimes makes people go insane. Maybe Elon Musk wanted to reduce the tension in the air about covid-19 pandemic and it's vaccine, but we all know that information is power and whatever that's said by the rich is carried by the majority of the populace.
