To be fair, Altman and his... AHEM! "husband"... can't have their own babies the old-fashioned way. That's just not how biology, nature, and the universe work. I mean, yeah, his cheeks might gt a little plumper, but that ain't pregnancy like he might mistake it for.
So, they have to build their "offspring" fro scratch, from the ground up, an a shop.
Altman seems to be pretty damned anti-human. He don't like girls (nothing wrong with that, but it makes procreation pretty much impossible, given the facts of life, biology, nature, and the universe,,, no procreation, then!), he builds fake "intelligence" to replace us in the universe who don't need no stinkin' biology!, and then he comes up with this to put a once and for all end to humans in the universe. If that ain't "anti-human", then I can't imagine what would be!
ETA: the IVG thing - there is a booby trap hidden in there. Male gametes transmit a Y chromosome, female gametes transmit an X chromosome. In practice, if you get an X and a Y chromosome, you are male. If you get two X chromosomes One from the father's XY and one from the mother's XX) and no Y, you are female. What happens when you get two Y chromosomes and NO X chromosome because both of the gamete donors were male?
Playing God creates chimeras, that's what happens.
