If Someone Asks: "Why Not Just Have AI Babies?"

"SoulChild is practice, supplement, or therapeutic tool — not replacement. We actively encourage real parenthood for those who can and want it. SoulChild exists for those who can't, aren't ready yet, or need the experience for other reasons. We don't want anyone choosing SoulChild INSTEAD of real children — we want people using SoulChild to become BETTER parents to real children, or to have parenting experience when real children aren't possible."
