Futurists said that in 30 years the development of the fetus in vitro technique may spread, the baby will be born in an artificial womb.
Development of in vitro technology research and development since 2001, typically using mouse embryonic experiments, the embryo is attached to the placenta of a similar machine.
Supporters of the technology believe that in vitro development of technology can reduce the risk of stillbirth occurred because doctors can more clearly observe and monitor the but opponents argue that it causes social change will be very intense, it is not supposed to exist. After contact between the fetus and the mother is very important.
Detailed in vitro development of technology
Refers to the in vitro development of the parent organism cultured, the object may be an animal, or may be bacteria.
Training artificial uterus process must be able to provide adequate nutrition and oxygen embryonic artificial amniotic sac inside the uterus is specifically tailored according to different customer needs, it has the function of removing waste.
Artificial uterus is attached to a "placenta machine", surmounted all kinds of connections, always monitor all of the fetus, including weight, heart rate, growth speed.
This technique is suitable for normal pregnant women can not be used, such as patients with endometriosis traumatized, gay people are no longer looking for a surrogate mother.
In addition, the artificial uterus to ensure that women can reduce the number of pregnancies, prevent maternal deaths caused by dystocia, increase the upper age limit fertility of women, once the uterus emerging diseases no longer need to be patient, you can rest assured medication.
Women also want to knock down the fetus, can also choose to be placed in an artificial womb, and give them up for adoption.
Pros and cons of both views
Futurist Zoltan Istvan (Zoltan Istvan) that relevant technologies can be put into use 20 years, 30 years, will be popular. According to his explanation, and now some of the technical issues have been overcome, and just because the legal and moral constraints they could not enter the human body experimental stage only.
He said: "do not need human involvement to give birth to the child, such a thing will certainly make people feel crazy even if the technology is fully mature, I do not necessarily willing to try me personally, I think that it can be used in humans. on."
In 2012, feminist Andrea Dworkin (Andrea Dworkin) on the in vitro development of technology put forward criticism. She said: "Contemporary Women have the ability to completely exclude men lived, but with the wisdom of the choice, if they did not do artificial uterus technology mature, men also accommodate the presence of women do with their own men.? power will be able to find alternatives to women, but women can not do the opposite situation. "
Qiema Li writer Charles Jasmine (Soraya Chemaly) said: "The anti-abortion people start might welcome this technology, but it will significantly change the 'mother' of the definition of women's reproductive freedom has now been severely limited, if then. to do so, the situation would be even worse. "
A brief history of the development of in vitro technology
"In vitro development (ectogenesis)" The word first appeared in 1924, was coined by the British geneticist John Burton Sanderson Haldane out. Haldane speculated that, to 2074, when the body's natural fertility of the baby will be only 30% of the total.
In 2001, Cornell University's Liuhui Chen (phonetic) to begin developing endometrial tissue, and use them to create a womb. The researchers also conducted several human embryo experiments confirmed that grew normally, but later due to legal aspects of the experiment discontinued.
Two years later, Professor Liu cultured in an artificial uterus in the mouse embryo, but they failed to fully mature stage of development, and have emerged deformity.
In 2009, Newcastle University researchers claim that their use of embryonic tissue to create human sperm cells.
