Artificial wombs are coming!

 Artificial wombs are coming!

Elon Musk


Here's a story straight out of science fiction replacing human pregnancies with artificial wombs i know the idea sounds dystopian but it may be a fast approaching reality dutch scientists are working on it influential people are promoting. 
It like the co-founder of cryptocurrency ethereum he recently pitched synthetic wounds as a solution to the income disparities between men and women he said they could reduce the burden of pregnancy and help women earn equally at their workplaces interestingly he made the suggestion to tesla ceo elon musk.
Why did he reach out to musk our next report tells you meet vitalik buterin the co-founder of ethereum the second best cryptocurrency after bitcoin the 27 year old inventor has pitched a bold solution to end the economic disparities between men and women and also to prevent our planet from a population collapse.
He wants to replace pregnant women with synthetic wounds a proposal that has drawn the wrath of feminists deuteron shared this techno-utopian solution in a twitter exchange with the ultimate tech visionary elon musk of late the tesla tycoon has been expressing his concerns about an impending global population collapse he's been sharing tweets about falling birth rates the world over which musk says won't leave enough people for his relocation plans to mars viteran chimed in to musk's complaints online with the controversial solution synthetic worms.
He even shared a graph to justify his views. It pointed out how women's earnings drop significantly after a child but for men. They remain unchanged synthetic wounds according to him can remove the high burden of pregnancy and reduce income disparities. This wild suggestion has split the internet while some have welcomed it the others are calling it crazy those in favor say they would love to have more options and prioritize. Their health some others say that it would help them escape an environment where men condition women and yet others think that bearing child the exact same way women have forever is just deeply regressive those against synthetic wounds say women do not need to defy the laws of nature to be treated equally. They say pregnancy connects them to the natural world like nothing else and that synthetic wounds would be the same as growing new species in a lab the debate continues but the question is can we really make a synthetic womb.
Well we already are scientists in the netherlands say they are just 10 years away from developing an artificial womb that could save the lives of premature babies premature birth is said to be the biggest cause of death among newborns dutch researchers say that an artificial uterus could solve this problem the technology sounds promising but there are still ethical dilemmas to overcome will the technology only be used in emergency situations or will it also be available for those mulling and abortion will it be available for all individuals or only for those who can afford it and above everything else is letting machines replicate every human element of life
