#3 fortunately, in this particular case, most of the world’s population does not live in this world. Can you imagine proposing this to Muslims? To the Chinese? To South Americans? To at least Orthodox Jews? To 90% of the world’s Christian population? Even in the Western world, abhorrent as it may be: sex sells. So this isn’t going to go over with marketing folks looking to sell products either.
Oh it’s just silly, folks. Almost nobody in the world would want this. No men would want it, no straight women, and frankly not most lesbians. Lots of lesbian two-mommy families are very happy raising one or more boys. (Of course, such two-M households may be far from ideal on other grounds — I am just pointing out that even here the majority of them have male friends and sometimes male kids.)
What does that leave us? Maybe a few thousand insane women and maybe a dozen crazy eunuch men — compared to the rest of the 6 billion of us. I’m not worried.
Well, this would be just terrible! And I don’t really think there’d be fewer wars.
This is just silly. It assumes we live in a world where every decision is made on a purely scientific basis.

I think it’s a good time to recommend people read CS Lewis’ “Perelandra” trilogy, especially its concluding tome, “That Hideous Strength.”
