Don’t get too excited, bro.

A lot of my thinking on what counts as actually-degenerate now, vs what could count as that in the future, depends significantly on available medical and legal technology.

• Keeping birthrates steady is key in a society where lifespan has not been radically extended.
  
• The lack of artificial wombs makes it far more difficult for the state to, if necessary, raise children to make up for population shortfalls.
• STDs still exist, some of them are becoming antibiotic-resistant, some of them are permanent.
• Most radical body modifications just aren’t feasible right now without dramatically risking the health of the subject.
• Difficult-to-impossible for most people to exit their sexuality means that most people are locked in as heteros so gender ratios matter a lot.
• Difficult-to-impossible for most people to remain young in appearance, and healthy beyond current healthspans.  Long-term irreparable deterioration inevitable.
• Cannot adequately repair DNA damage accrued through having children while of too great a genetic similarity.
• Heritable diseases largely incurable, cannot be simply edited out.
• Can’t repair brain damage beyond some minimum natural level at current tech level, including psychologically-induced trauma.
• Can’t repair limbs effectively, replacement prosthetics are of substandard performance.

I’m not against a future of immortal cyborg mermaids polyamorously dating cyborg vampires while engaging in extreme Martian exosports per se, but I am against picking the policies that make sense for that future long before they make sense for our present moment.
