Not actually my 12th favorite, but this one is cooler.
Wikipedia calls them spermbots.

This is how X Æ A-12 was conceived.

Yes good idea, lets use the weak sperm to further our species

What if some of the sperm that don't make it have a better DNA package but just didn't get the best transport?
itsanuglyplanetabugplanet
Then the DNA package isn't better
Cananybodyreallyreadlikethis
That’s not inherently true. DNA packaging efficiency in sperm is not inherently linked to flagellation of thr sperm body.
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
Same dna in all sperm
reposthitler
It’s not all the same. If it were your brothers and sisters would look exactly like you. There are variations in ever sperm/egg
betrothedtobacon
Then what's the issue?
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
That if none of the sperm can swim on their own, prolly not a good idea to help that dna become a human
betrothedtobacon
So, we should eliminate ivf for couples who have trouble conceiving?

Not even remotely true, fraternal twins, or even siblings, wouldn't be different if that were the case.
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
Thats because mommy also adds dna, a sperm is a data package of dads dna.
Strangedays2024
Half of both technically, and even just assuming for each half being a full X or Y chromosome that's four variation of child. From larger1/2
Strangedays2024
That's not really any different than the natural method. This would just help previously "infertile" men to some degree.
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
Im an adherent of the theory of natural "quality control", infertility could be linked to genetic problems, that shouldnt be spread
Strangedays2024
Could also be linked to many things, damage later in life, poor nutrition, etc. Even if there is a genetic cause it might not get passed.
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
All valid reasons, I just think adoption would be a better idea than ivf
Strangedays2024
Maybe? Realistically its up to the parents, this would mostly be used with people making conscious decisions about reproduction.
