BJP MP stuns audience with his comment ‘babies are born online’ – Times of India
“I thought people started getting married online. Fifty to sixty years later, when babies are born online, will these babies be made of steel or made of flesh and bones,” he wondered as the governor looked on.
Patel and Mishra were present at the 60th anniversary celebrations of Rewa Govt Engineering College. Those present were surprised by the MP’s speech.
Mishra expressed serious concerns over the advancement of technology. “All the work is now done online,” he noted, adding, “Today we celebrate the 60th year of the foundation. But will scientists still be here as students in sixty years? Will people still work as deans? director, professors or will there be machines?”
He then described how cell phones have invaded the bedrooms of married couples. “Maine kabhi kissi pati-patni ke bistar mein jhankne ka kaam nehi kiya. Lekin log kahte hain, ki jab pati aur patni bistar pe let te hain, toh ek mooh dakshin ke taraf toh dusre ka mooh uttar disha ki taraf hote hain. Aur mobile se mohabbat karke, ussi mein aahe bharte hain (I have never tried to peek into the beds of husbands and wives. But people say that nowadays when the husband and wife lie down on the bed, one of them faces south and the other to the north . They sigh at their cell phones).
The three-time MP did not continue here and continued: “I thought people have now started getting married online. When babies are born after 50-60 years, will these babies born online be made of steel or flesh and bones? It is essential for us to think about this today.”
