Baby without a womb: see what a future pregnancy could be like

A presentation of the fictional project EctoLife, which uses the world's first artificial

uterus.It can “produce” up to 30,000 children per year. According to the published video, the institution’s staff will provide parents with a “wide range of tools.” They will allow you to “customize” the fetus and get a child who will meet all your wishes.

EctoLife is not a real company orresearch organization. It's more of a concept. She was introduced by Hashem Al-Ghaili, a Yemeni molecular biotechnologist, science communicator, director and producer. He is best known for his infographics and videos about future scientific breakthroughs. Previously, he showed what it would look like to build a mega-ring around the Earth and a celestial Titanic that runs on nuclear energy.

According to the authors, one of the tasks of the projectEctoLife is to meet the need for a younger population that will support the global economy in the coming decades. According to a UN report, Spain, Japan, Thailand, South Korea and Portugal are among the 23 countries that are at the forefront of the aging crisis.

It is also known that the birth rate has sharplyhas declined over the past few decades. Last month, scientists found that men's sperm counts have dropped by 51% over the past 46 years.

According to the presentation, EctoLife usestechnology of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The fertilized embryo is then placed directly into an artificial uterus. Here you can monitor the growth and development of the fetus 24/7 and take timely measures to prevent miscarriage.
