Summary

This quote highlights a common human reaction towards emerging technologies, particularly those related to reproduction. It suggests that people tend to initially respond with a sense of aversion or discomfort, often labeled as the "yuck" effect, when confronted with unfamiliar advancements in this field. This reaction likely stems from the unfamiliarity or ethical concerns associated with such technological progress. It reflects the inherent resistance of individuals toward novel ideas or changes, particularly within the realm of reproduction, which has been historically viewed as a deeply personal and intimate aspect of human life.
