I've finally figured out what my one wish would be, if I had only one.

It would be that from now on any time there is sex between a male and a female human being, there's an even chance as to which one of them could get pregnant.

Life as we know it would change in SO many ways.

Happy Fourth!

Many a pregnancy started as a form of trickery, to "trap" a man into marriage. This is wrong, imo.

All children should be wanted, not used.

I'd love for every child to be wanted too, but this has better implications.

Mine is even more simple that each human can feel every single bit of the pain they cause others. All the world's problems will get solved in short order. Once I feel your pain is more than a platitude

in about 10 thousand years, they'll have found the human female womb too unsanitary and primitive a place for gestation and will have invented a mechanical womb where conditions are completely ideal and everything can be monitored and the perfect nutrients fed to the fetus. You pick up your kid when it's "done."
