EctoLife, which is an artificial womb facility that has the potential to produce up to 30,000 babies
The article is discussing the concept of EctoLife, which is an artificial womb facility that has the potential to produce up to 30,000 babies annually.
The facility would allow for custom-made babies by selecting the baby's physical characteristics such as intelligence, height, hair color, eye color, physical strength, and skin tone. The growth pods would simulate a mother's womb, allowing for parents to monitor their baby's growth and development through a screen or an app.
The delivery process would be simple and effortless with the baby being easily removed from the pod at the touch of a button. However, critics argue that this kind of technology sets the stage for humans to be treated as commodities and could potentially take away women's historic role as givers of life.
The creator of EctoLife believes that the technology could become widely used within 10 to 15 years if ethical restrictions are lifted.
