German Molecular Biologist Unveils Concept of World's First Artificial Womb Facility Which Can Incubate up to 30,000 Lab-Grown Babies a Year (VIDEO)
2022-12-11
[Gateway] On Friday, a German molecular biologist by trade unveiled a new concept for the world’s first artificial womb facility, EctoLife, which could incubate up to 30,000 babies a year.

"My new concept will be unveiled early December, something that I have been working on for a while," said Hashem Al-Ghaili in November. "The new concept relies on over 50 years of groundbreaking scientific research."

Hashem Al-Ghaili is a molecular biologist, producer, filmmaker, and science communicator based in Berlin, Germany.

EctoLife, which operates solely on renewable energy, enables infertile couples to conceive and become the biological parents of their own offspring.

"It’s a perfect solution for women who had their uterus surgically removed due to cancer or other complications. With EctoLife, premature births and C-sections will be a thing of the past. EctoLife is designed to help countries that are suffering from severe population decline, including Japan, Bulgaria, South Korea, and many others," according to its press release.

"According to the World Health Organization, around 300,000 women die from pregnancy complications. EctoLife artificial womb is designed to alleviate human suffering and reduce the chances of C-sections," Hashem wrote.

#8  The science fiction author Lois McMaster Bujold in her Barryar series and associated works centered on artificial wombs, human 'genetic genetic engineering' and the like -- while having some great action.

If the 'artificial womb' becomes economically practical will most abortions be considered murder one wonders.
