Quote:In this short video, we're excited to announce the world's first artificial womb facility concept: EctoLife. This revolutionary new technology could one day allow couples to have children through artificial means, potentially saving thousands of lives every year.

We hope that this world-first facility will help pave the way for more artificial womb technologies in the future and help to save more families from infertility and heartache. Check out the video to learn more about EctoLife and how it could change the world! According to a special interview with Science and Stuff, the EctoLife idea may eventually replace natural birth. By doing this, society would be able to satisfy the demands of parents who are "weary of waiting for a response from an adoption agency" and those who are "worried about pregnancy difficulties." But most significantly, EctoLife might provide us the opportunity to address the infertility epidemic head-on.

Scientifically, it’s called ectogenesis, a term coined by J.B.S. Haldane in 1924. A hugely influential science popularizer, Haldane did for his generation what Carl Sagan did later in the century. He got people thinking and talking about the implications of science and technology on our civilization, and did not shy away from inventing new words in order to do so. Describing ectogenesis as pregnancy occurring in an artificial environment, from fertilization to birth, Haldane predicted that by 2074 this would account for more than 70 percent of human births.

His prediction may yet be on target.

In discussing the idea in his work Daedalus–a reference to the inventor in Greek mythology who, through his inventions, strived to bring humans to the level of the gods–Haldane was diving into issues of his time, namely eugenics and the first widespread debates over contraception and population control.

“Now that the technique is fully developed, we can take an ovary from a woman, and keep it growing in a suitable fluid for as long as twenty years, producing a fresh ovum each month, of which 90 percent can be fertilized, and the embryos grown successfully for nine months, and then brought out into the air.” By the year 2074, Haldane imagined, ectogenesis had become a popular technique — with “less than 30 percent of children… now born of woman.”

It is this prospect — children without mothers, babies molded in machines — which chills the blood when reading of children being “decanted” in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. How would these gestational foundlings differ from children developed in human wombs? Are there things about the womb that we simply can’t replicate but that might, in fact, be integral to healthy human development? To be “born of woman” is not merely to be born using a certain technique, a means that is suitable today but perhaps will be superseded in the future by our own ingenuity. This is a point persuasively made by Charles Krauthammer at the October 2003 meeting of the President’s Council on Bioethics:

Why do we want the embryo to be housed in its mother? One of the reasons is that it creates an innate connection between the child and the mother, and the mother becomes uniquely protective and attached. That’s human nature. It’s even animal nature as well… And it’s not the mixing or the “yucking” that’s at issue here. It may be severing the connection between the child and the mother, which is a way of protecting that child by giving him a belonginghood to someone who will care. Once you put him in an animal, which is a thing for these purposes, or a machine, which might happen in the future, you create a completely atomized and defenseless creature, and that opens the way to all kinds of tyrannies, social control, and lack of autonomy, which we would not want.
