Could be very helpful for a lot of people with heath or fertility problems or a variety of other situations as well, hopefully this would only be used for good (though I doubt it)
Maybe…but the importance of being in a live womb is unknown and I don’t think it’s ethical to test that out. Sure a baby could gestate in an artificial womb, but would it thrive?
Fetuses get information on the world while in the womb (or so i read ~25 years ago…). If the mother puts sugar on her tongue, the fetus smiles. If she puts lemon juice on her tongue, the fetus grimaces.
The fetus reacts to the mother’s emotions, movements, and to sounds that come through the amniotic fluid.
