Question nicked from james_nicoll

What commonly accepted practice of today that you personally practice will be seen as unacceptable in one hundred years?
A few of my own thoughts:
- Owning pets
- Eating non-tissue cultured meat
- Not correcting your children's genetic defects before implanting them in the womb. Not using artificial wombs if that technology provides better outcomes than natural pregnancy.
Well, OK, I guess it's impossible for me to practice that last one, but I definitely _approve_ of people with the requisite uteri having children. Any other ideas?
