I've read enough dystopian novels to know this is a bad idea. 😳

In a world where no one would even think of abusing this option it would have been a great idea.

-The children of 2030: "Were you born of an artificial uterus? Hahaha eeww!"

-The children of 2130: "Were you born of a woman? Hahaha eeww!"

When it comes to messing with "Mother Nature" it can be a horrible experience if things don't go as natural as a woman having her own womb to carry and naturing the baby. Things can get difficult and since this is a temporary procedure, one has to be careful about considering acquiring a womb like this. Also, the complication of the law, and the stability of the couple intentions if things don't go as expected. Too many options of what could go wrong is for many not ideal.

This absolutely insane! Babies receive things like love, bonding etc. That they can't get in a fake womb!

[sylwiab]

That won't end in a happy ending as everyone may think...

One day you can grow your own army in your own basement

[therealrealwizz]

If they have this ability then there is no doubt they can engineer super soldier children

[justmariakick]

it can be seen as dystopic if you believe this would "replace women" but in the case of premature births it could be life saving, and prevent serious health issues from developing, I think it's a good thing overall, we just have to be careful with how we implement it

This was done before back in 1900's by man called Dr. Martin Couney( He wasn't really a doctor) He built a premature baby unit with incubators for the babies, that was supposed to mimic the mothers womb he had nurses there to attend the needs of the babies, thire was controversy over it because it was on Coney Island where there was amusement park built. This was seen as an exhibition, it did so well prominent doctors who had delivered premature babies entrusted him and his work, apparently he saved 90% of all babies whereas the hospitals where losing 90% of theirs so made sense. The parents of these babies never had to pay healthcare as this was all taken care of with admission fees from the public this paid for the running of a hospital and the care of the babies and he was even able to pay the nurses I would be happy for humanity to have something like this but in a more secluded and healthier place. But I'm telling you now the top 1%ers the way shit is going right now, they definitely won't be happy if their plan is to cull the population of the world 😡

I find this really sick, there is no emotional connection between mother and child.
Make a joke about it, but get serious, this is crazy scienctists experimenting.
I have two beautiful daughters, and wouldn't part with those wonderful memories of carrying, and delivering them.
It wasn't all smooth sailing either.

People are so smart they are stupid. What about the relationship between the mother and the uterus? There is a neurological connection between a mother and her unborn child. The in utero baby is not just a sack of meat. My wife loved to sing. Often when she would stop the baby would kick my wife to get her to sing again. The emotional relationship between a mother and the man and wife's baby is shared. Babies in the uterus can recognize voices. ... Humans are not lizards.

This is the price you people pay for being gynocentric.

[stephenmccagg]

Dystopian Nightmare! That is just horrifying.

[dianemccarthy]

Crazy world we live in; one side is killing babies and the other is growing Frankenstein's.

[maxpower]

Welcome to the matrix people buckle up.👀

[cy_diaries]

Do they have a soul? It's not a blessing from above it's like a human who invented them😢

And what about the beneficial bacteria from the mother's microbiome that the baby gets when it passes through the vaginal canal? Even C-section babies get this beneficial bacteria because there is a special cloth that is put in the mother's vaginal canal that absorbs the microbiome. After they remove the baby he is wiped down with this cloth.

I'm sure there will be side effects that we won't know about until they do their research and make it public sometime in the future. Just like evey other artifical thing man has made.

Ungodly and downright riduculous ..its not everyones right to have a child its a blessing .and part of the bond is carrying baby in your own body still alive from grave it seems
