Let
us replicate a scenario, that you are about to give birth. You might be in for
a bit of stretch, but you will be with me. The first though that would catch
you napping is whether it is a male or female. There is a possibility that you
are making an entry to the two worlds. A couple of situations tend to emerge at
this point of time. The first works out to be a biological process where you go
on to give birth to babies and die a natural death. The second one refers to baby born in an artificial womb? The
onus is on you on what you are going to choose.
With
regards to an artificial womb baby born,
a lot of research has been called upon into ectogenesis. You can term it as an umbrella term that
allows babies to grow outside the womb of their mothers. The fact that to
become pregnant and at the same time giving birth does pose risk to the health
of a women. The similar levels of risks do pose considerable problems for the
mother. The facts do indicate that a mother is going to die from pregnancy
rather than suffering from measles. Sadly this is the case and we have a public
health campaign that is running against measles as of now.
In
the modern day context it is indeed not possible for a baby to grow at an
artificial womb for more than 40 weeks. For such a situation to emerge it would
take a decade of time as well. If you do feel that there is considerable
support, then 10 years we would think it to be on the reasonable side. If you
consider the benefits of ectogeneis are mammoth as well. Here you would come across
the fact that the nurtured embryos are kept close to 15 days at a co culture
method. This goes on to replicate the uterine environment. On the other side of
the coin the premature lamb that are born around 22 to 24 weeks, human foetus
which are kept in fluid bags and that
too in a hospital setting.
There
is a silver lining at the same time. It
does call for a system where the baby is able to develop from implantation to
delivery. In the modern day context it
would be very difficult in order to keep the embryo alive outside for more than
14 days at a single go. Till date the parents have been able to come close to 1
day shy of it. But there is an opinion that all these conditions could be
relaxed in the days to come as well.
Not
only the mothers are prone to the risk of pregnancy and birth. The same policy
does apply to the concept of foetus as well. The most commons situation where a
foetus could die a natural death would be a the time of childbirth. Here you
can expose it to factors that is within your control.
