This Lamb Grew In An Artificial Womb!

Eight lambs born prematurely were kept in artificial wombs called Biobags.
After 4 weeks, the lambs' brains and lungs developed, they grew soft fleece and even opened their eyes.
Scientists are hopeful that this technology will help save premature human babies in the future.

If they started use if this to save premature babies tho imagine how weird it would be to see your "unborn" baby growing in a bag

[regunationgaming]

I would name him




"Ziplock"

[lexingtonduncan]

And eventually they'll grow babies without mothers.

The lamb is so cute but the video failed to mention the part where they killed it and dissected it to see if the lung grew properly, , which it did.

It’s for premature babies not creating whole new life god these comments.

[uching]

Out of 8 lambs only one survived to term.

[mf_tokosh]

I have never seen a lamb that cute, I just can't IT LOOKS LIKE A WALKING OH GOSH THE WAY IT ACTUALLY WALKS I JUST CANTTTT

[Nightwing]

Lot'a people trying to start a gender war in the comments.
You've been warned.

[anon-jogm]

one year later it's gonna look like that healing chamber from DBZ. toriyama knew all along.

[justsomestranger]

How many parents have lost children because they were born too early?
Imagine the amount of lives this could save!

[jnicolebean]

Holy Hell. These comments are ridiculous. Come on guys, we have to be better than this...

[GoodMusicManiac]

The lamb is so cute!

As a human baby who has been into an incubator, I am happy science made such a revolutionary step. Seems more natural than the current way, no need to shove tiny tubes anymore (which must be really annoying to babies. My parents often remind the others in the NICU ripping them from their small bodies).

This is genius if we use this for unborn children or premature. It is also a substitute for an incubator.

[shizukagozen]

Geez I'm really sick of all the stupid YouTube comments... Some people shouldn't be allowed to have an account. 😧😑

[serenityyyi]

many people are commenting that all this is very cruel and other shit, but do you even realized that millions of babies who die because they are prematurely delivered can be saved by this in the future? if this is cruel then let it be honey for you, because one has to sacrifice its live to save a million other people, and those lambs lived, yes an autopsy was performed who died naturally but the other lambs who were alive, their lungs were scanned to see that they grew or not. if experiments like this were not done in the past then we would not be a developed world right now.

A lot of these comments are really mean, it's making me sad

[themushroominside]

Its sad to hear that 7 of out of 8 of the lambs where dissected afterwards, but....
Curiosity kills the cat, but sometimes the cat has to die in order for others to learn how it died. Meaning the lambs had to die to truly learn IF the theory of artificial wombs work or not. Here is a sad thought, documentarys about the womb, child birth/fetus development probably came from the data obtained through the dissection of fetuses and deceased individuals, as well as living specimens through non invasive means such as ultra sound. So yes.. that's a thing, and now because of it alot of babies don't die minutes after birth.
As a species that want to develop in Scientific Advancements we have to get our hands dirty, so long as it doesn't kill us all.
but... think what you think. people arguing whether or not the earth is flat gets us nowhere and why we have fidget spinners instead of colonies on mars

[lonr]

Getting closer and closer to a serious overpopulation problem

[bigdickbee]

I always imagined something like this but never thought it would be real

[CrownofMischief]

OK, but think of the potential now for endangered species like elephants and rhinos. Normally they are only fertile once in 5 years or so, but with something like this we only need viable cells and we can either use embryos fertilized in vitro or cloned cells that have been jump started. Hell, it could be a step towards deextinction if we can figure out the right design for certain wombs
