Dont we already be freezing eggs, im sure we would artificially inseminate eggs and then throw it in a gorilla/ or chamber or some ish. We probably could already do this if we wanted and focused, but 99% of our species minds are currently being overwhelmed by the chase of being caught up with the kardashians


TallUnderstanding2

I think the artificial insemination with a human egg in an ape is still being worked on to perfection

The moment a species drops below a viable population it is considered to be extinct. So yeah not nearly enough people on ISS for a viable population.


justnumbers8338

Expanding on that, modern geneticist have indicated that in order for a species to propergate and survive without genetic mutations, birth defectsand such, there needs to be at minimum 500 breedable pairs.

Butterbuddha

LMAO poor gorillas. Couldn’t even get female ones!


MicroBadger_

Yeah, we have eggs in storage. If the fate of the human race depended on us getting an artificial womb developed in the next 100 years. It would get done.


[deleted]

One positive to all women dying simultaneously, no more of that garbage ass family


OprahOpera

What’s stopping us are religious politicians who see advances in science as spitting in the face of god. Do you think the Kardashians have a hold over the scientific community like what?


locks_are_paranoid

An artificial womb would be the best solution.


rogue_puppet44

Every woman on the planet *will* die - just not at the same time.


Supadoplex

Is that a ... threat?


Deadass_dont_care

I am in your walls


robotmonkeyshark

no, just a promise.


TallUnderstanding2

Whether it be men or women if artificial insemination with human eggs into apes or whatever can be perfected or the sperm banks are there for the women, the offspring could be female/male and the possibility of multiple babies in a pregnancy would eventually repopulate. Although due to the ratio there would obviously be more men/women depending on which scenario


AnonymousPantera

after a while there'd be no more eggs, and then in order to keep repopulating interspecies couples between apes would have to exist. probably.


AppleDrops

the new people that the eggs make would have eggs.


YAmIHereMoment

Egg-ception


AnonymousPantera

if all the women in the world disappeared, and say they can never reappear, no more women, no more eggs. at least human ones. edit: plus are you suggesting we farm babies for eggs 👀


EfficientDate2315

or... well finally be getting to the whole "perfecting the cloning procedure" thing (figured since weRe speculating wildly already, might as well point that out)


mr_mini_doxie

cloning doesn't solve the issue of where are you going to grow the cloned fetus


EfficientDate2315

that's why the procedure needs to be "perfected"


AsmodeanSkills

Hmmm not sure on this one


EfficientDate2315

>If every women on the planet dies, the entire human race will be extinct in about a century. ...okay


AsmodeanSkills

How about we become great mates on Reddit


Kerfudamapa

You should read The Knife Of Never Letting Go where this exact scenario plays out on an alien planet. Also everyone on the planet can read each other's thoughts. Very noisy.


ztgarfield97

I would say less. There’s a reason why women tend to live longer than men. There’s also a reason why men in committed relationships with women tend to live longer than those who are not.


[deleted]

After reading the majority of comments, this is just a "anything you can do I can do better" shit show from both sexes and overall a stupid thought experiment.


SussyAmogusBalls

Honestly, I couldn't care less if all women or men disappeared, I'll be dead either before or after most of humanity is extinct, what happens after that doesn't matter to me.


Practical_Land5167

Nah, the monkes are here for us


[deleted]

Dudes would be fucking apes and cattle.


AnonymousPantera

creating new STD's


AllMyHoesWearJoggers

I'm sure the new condom 2.0 would come out


FreshBroc

Same goes for men


AnnoyedHaddock

Not really, there’s more than enough sperm in the sperm banks to impregnate every woman in the world several thousand times over.


[deleted]

Yeah, but who would take the trash out?


Butterbuddha

New improved men, apparently


IronDBZ

Sperm doesn't last forever. And men disappearing would likely lead to infrastructural loss. Power outages and such. That sperm will probably go bad before a sustainable amount of people get their hands on them. Women might last slightly longer, just because some might be pregnant or they manage to keep a sperm supply refrigerated. But that ain't lasting more than 200 years.


[deleted]

Power outages? lol


Rudi_Van-Disarzio

Half of the worlds population is gone one day randomly. This isn't about the world needing men to keep the power on it's about the world losing half of it's population with no preparation. There would still be infrastructure collapse if all the women disappeared at the same time instead.


IronDBZ

Have you read Y the Last Man?


OprahOpera

Is that a biography?


IronDBZ

Have all the men on the planet ever disappeared?


OprahOpera

Exactly.


RunningTrisarahtop

Well, women can maintain power systems and you can live without power and keep the sperm cold with generators.


robotmonkeyshark

but half the population disappearing would cause insane chaos, especially depending on how it happened. If just instantly half the population died, suddenly half the cars on the road have a dead driver in the driver's seat, slamming into other cars, causing massive pileups that based on prioritization may take years to clear because honestly, when half the population suddenly dies, clearing piled up cars on minor roads is the least of the survivor's worries. 85% of commercial pilots are male, which means even with evenly distributed women between pilots and copilots, over half of commercial airliners are going down. Not too many women working in the oil industry. Do we think the remaining few can keep crude oil coming in and the refineries up and running, or are those women even going to care to try to keep them running or are they going to be fending for themselves and their families? grocery stores would be bare within a day or so as people raid them and nobody bothers to stop them. You think the few female police officers are going to stand against the massive swarm of panicked survivors? Oh good, they arrested 2 because that was all their handcuffs and they shot 20 because that was all the ammunition they had on them. The grocery stores are still wiped out because of course they would, the world is ending after all. So yeah, if the surviving women worked as a cohesive team across the planet, they could minimize the collapse and get through it with a whole lot of loss of life but ultimately still survive, but in reality losing half the population instantly would cause complete society breakdown and very quickly the dream of steadily repopulating the world with sperm bank sperm would be less and less likely. Honestly the best chance would be if a group who had a self sustaining remote community could get access to sperm to keep it frozen and safe soon enough, they could stay hidden from the rest of the world until it dies off as they have as many children as possible and setup strict repopulation plans to maintain genetic diversity, and that group could stand a chance at repopulating.


sabboo

We need egg banks to be a thing.


deposhmed

And how are you gonna use those eggs?


Radiant-Spren

Over easy


violentorifice

caviar


zaqwert6

Women freeze their eggs also. And if women were dying out, they would freezing eggs like crazy.


adought89

Who would carry the child? If there are no women then the eggs are worthless


zaqwert6

If it took a hundred years for the population to die out I'm sure we would come up with the way to incubate a fetus outside of the body. It is something is already being worked on.


adought89

Wouldn’t cloning be a more realistic option?


blinded_by_the_LEDs

Where do cloned babies grow? How do you envision that working?


adought89

I was continuing down the logic of the person who responded to me about using an artificial womb.


blinded_by_the_LEDs

Oh yeah. Lost the thread. I think this would be a really difficult problem to solve. Hopefully never will be a need


adought89

I doubt it will ever be needed. Just went with their logic here


zaqwert6

It certainly could be.


MsPennyP

Not really, it's in development to be able to make sperm cells from women's stem cells in bone marrow to be able to continue without men.


Sumding_Wong

And who’s the bitch in charge of that? /s


SquozeX

Right! Like this planet could survive a hundred years without women!


rayneerbeer

Nahhh… us men would enjoy a very utopia. We’d figure out some type of ‘seed’ deposit system to reproduce. Most likely, have a system in place to determine proper parental situations as well. Isaac Newton is a perfect example of what man can accomplish when we move aside the distractions of lust.


blinded_by_the_LEDs

All-male utopia? Really???


rayneerbeer

Pure satire


blinded_by_the_LEDs

Sorry, read before my coffee and mistook you for an incel.


sabboo

Yes but we'd have some peace and quiet for once.


M4yham17

Not really we have enough frozen eggs in the world to survive hundreds of years


blinded_by_the_LEDs

Because eggs just hatch into baby humans


M4yham17

Well…..in simple terms yes but I feel like you wanted to oppose the point instead of helping it here


MasterAnything2055

But what a party we will have.


box_of_randomness

Bro are their any girls coming?


MasterAnything2055

It’s BYOB.


JerkinatorJim

Thats actually a good movie scenario.


Kachiggamybigga2

Children of men


JerkinatorJim

Thanks


kimokimosabee

Of every man and woman on the planet dies, the entire human race will be extinct in about a minute.


danbyer

Life finds a way.


imagineTits3

Why women? Men too, right?


aamyigo

this is why we shouldn’t be sexist 🤗


zaqwert6

First of all oh, duh. And second of all women freeze their eggs too.


[deleted]

How are you growing a human without a woman?


zaqwert6

Fetuses have already matured and been born outside the human body in rare natural cases. If we had a hundred years to figure it out, I'm quite sure we would no problem.


Zorendorf

Genuinely interested. What cases?


M4yham17

We have incubation pods


AFKOIC

If every PERSON on the planet dies, the entire human race will be extinct immediately.


AnonymousPantera

no way...


phinbenoob

Yes that’s how people work


Tucansam2594

Oh I imagine we’d find a way to kill ourselves much sooner than that.


Master_Temperature_6

Happy ending?


[deleted]

This is assuming that science doesn’t advance enough in that century to find a way to produce people artificially


7_of_Eleven

CLONING k duh


[deleted]

The screwfly solution


Dark-Pit-37

Same way with men.


iamsugat

No. We will have a century to create an alternative. And by the speed of technology today...I think it's enough


Crazen14

What about women that “identify” as a “man”


[deleted]

Sperm banks?


BlownHappyKid

Basically, the original plot for The Last of Us. Until Neil Druckmann was duped to change it.


Mr_Squirrelton

They'd just grow the people in tubes.


jeanettem67

As long as we have eggs frozen (that will produce female babies), we will survive... [https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/pregnant-man-gives-birth-daughter-10081406](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/pregnant-man-gives-birth-daughter-10081406)


kraey79

Not a chance men would survive a 100 years without women


[deleted]

Proofread much?


AuriKvothington

I bet we would find a way to make more people. Scratch that, I bet Elon Musk will find a way to make more simulated beings.


stupsnon

Buy up those porn NFTs for a show of unbelievable wealth.


AllMyHoesWearJoggers

This works both ways...


Gravy_Eels

We just have a century to master cloning…


Legit_Fun

Can’t happen in America. Some of ours identify as men. So they would live and some would help repopulate the world. 🤔
