The
day is not far that as per developments in the domain of medical science artificial womb baby born is going to
be a hard core reality. The natural process of child birth is going to be on
the decline. What it does mean is that you can grow a foetus outside the body
of the mother. This could be via fertilization or even after the process of
fertilization but the foetus needs to spend some amount of time in the natural
womb. It might replicate a situation of science fiction but scientists are
making a lot of progress in this direction.
Some
researchers were able to take the samples of the uterine tissue of a woman and
then these cells were tested in the laboratory. To the engineered womb the
human embryos went on to successfully attach and this began to develop. After a
few days this experimentation did not find any major value because of the
infertility treatment. But baby born inartificial womb is a reality after people of Japan went on to study goat foetus
in the womb for a few weeks.
In
a way people are pursuing their active interest in this matter till date and
you can expect any radical success in the shortest time frame possible. It
might even strike you without warning. If you are street smart you are going to
consider the ethical considerations and why it is still in the stage of theory
and not in a naïve stage. Now you need to figure out whether artificial wombs
are a good idea or not.
Foetus
The
main benefit till date for this research is the benefit that could be extends
to the fetus. At the same time there are some definite advantages of the same.
The main benefit would be that the death of the premature infants could be
reduced to a considerable level, as you can transfer the foetus to an
artificial womb. It would continue to grow and develop in complete safety as
well. There are some situations where such a womb might be much safer than an
artificial womb. The risks of alcohol , addiction or pollutants could be
eradicated to a considerable level.
You
can term it as two sides of the same coin. If you can consider them to be safe,
could you make sure that the insurance companies would go on to use artificial
wombs as a safe alternative. Would they adopt such a stance where they are not
going to pay compensation for someone who is not opting for the natural method
of birth.
Here
the question of the development of a baby also comes into consideration. There
is no denying the fact that the fetus is being influenced by an environment where
it grows. It means that the heartbeat or the actions of the mother has a direct
impact on the baby. Now do you think whether a natural environment is safe for
the baby.
