World's first 'artificial womb facility' is a creepy glimpse of pregnancy in future

 

Hashem Al-Ghaili's EctoLife can grow around 30,000 babies yearly because of extensive and groundbreaking scientific research of over 50 years. It is Hashem Al-Ghaili's brainchild, who is a science communicator and biotechnologist from Berlin. His...

Hashem Al-Ghaili's brainchild, EctoLife, will help infertile parents conceive babies and become true biological parents.

You can use the "Elite Package," which would let you engineer the embryo genetically before they implant it into an artificial womb. You can choose intelligence, height, strength, hair, eye color, etc., and avoid genetic diseases. Hashem says EctoLife is entirely powered by renewable energy and is the first artificial womb facility in the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that around 300,000 deaths happen due to pregnancy complications. EctoLife will help reduce human suffering and reduce C-sections. EctoLife will make C-sections and premature births history.

Increasing Human Population

Hashem added that EctoLife would offer solutions to women who had to have their uterus removed due to complications. It would help countries that suffer population decline, such as South Korea, Bulgaria, Japan, etc. Hashem says the technology is already available, but ethical constraints do not make it a reality. He concluded by saying that every feature is completely science-based and scientists and engineers have already achieved it.

My inference: I got this article from the internet. Its a superb invention. Hope the relevant governments clear the legal hassels and this facility is made available as soon as possible in all the leading hospitals. Kudos to the medical scientists and the brain behind the massive discovery 👍👍👍
