artifact children

Term invented (or at least popularized) by the late musician Frank Zappa to describe children conceived primarily for the experience of having them.

"There seems to be this trend for the young modern parent to have a child for these reasons: For the woman to experience the miracle of childbirth and for the young couple to raise their precious child to be this immaculate artifact of modern society. If people think today's punk kids are repulsive, wait until they see what these little artifact children are going to do."

Frank Zappa
