The technology of ectogenesis isn’t new to science that has seen various experiments involving successful extra-uterine animal birth. Despite experiments on human embryos being forbidden, the possibility of total artificial childbirth has brought warnings that it could completely change our reality.
Chinese scientists have developed an AI robot system that takes care of embryos in artificial wombs with efficiency unattainable by humans. Its main goal is to facilitate the cultivation of animal embryos for scientific purposes, but in theory such innovation can be used for human embryos, according to a study published in the Journal of Biomedical Engineering.
