Abstract: (672 Views)
In recent years, artificial womb technology (ectogenesis) has emerged as a novel approach to supporting extremely premature infants and assisting infertile couples. Early prototypes, such as the Biobag, have successfully simulated physiological conditions to support fetal growth in lambs ex utero, bringing this clinical vision closer to reality. Alongside these technical advancements, ethical and legal discussions surrounding the social, gender-related, and child rights implications have intensified. This letter provides a concise overview of key developments, ethical challenges, and the future outlook of artificial womb technology
