I guess, Juditha, that there are a lot of things to think about when we start imagining the possibilities. What you said helps me to understand what you value, what you love about your own life experience, and how you see it. I know that I, personally, did not come through a tunnel, but I am certain I felt my mother's love, despite the 'inadequate' (according to society) preparation for my arrival. Because, not only was I not planned in any way by my prospective family, I was a breech baby who was trying to come down feet first, and was removed from my mother by 'unnatural' means which saved our lives. So, I'm sure my 'tunnel' experience was not a happy one in any way. I suppose I wouldn't want to miss that time my mother was carrying me, so that is something I can appreciate. But, honestly, I don't think I'd resent it if I was raised in a 'greenhouse' first, as long as it was with love, and with enough personal understanding of myself that I could find joy and purpose in my life. But, then, I really don't know. Until we try new things, it's hard to say what benefits and problems can result. It is certainly true that we all come into the world in very different ways and in very different social circumstances. Quite a lot of food for thought there, especially considering the fact that babies absorb thoughts and feelings from the mother, hear and react to their environment (sounds, vibrations) of the outside world, etc. If a person grows in an environment which is 'different', I don't think we really have enough knowledge, at this point, to 'know' how we are affecting the unborn. We don't even, generally, provide them with a 'pristine, clean' environment at this point, with how the earth is being saturated with the products of our technologies in the form of chemicals, etc. It's enough to give me a headache just thinking about it. These are complex issues.
