More interesting, if reproduction is no longer tied to sex, in how much of the population will sexual desire persist?
That's a good question too. Human bodies spend a lot of energy on sexual drive, so eliminating that would probably improve overall individual health, on the one hand. On the other, it's our most universal game, something a sizable proportion of the human race is very attached to doing. So I don't know that artificial reproduction would breed it out even though it served no practical function any more.
