In June 2008, Thomas in Oregon, USA, successfully gave birth to his daughter Susan, becoming the first man in the world to conceive and successfully give birth to a child, and a true male mother. You may not believe it, but it's true.
Over the past few decades, discussions about gender and fertility have historically been extremely complex issues. Now, technology has made a major breakthrough: men can have children. Behind this achievement is a striking innovation – the artificial womb.
The artificial womb is a technology that may be used in the future to conceive a baby, and it could help women who are unable to conceive. This technique uses advanced life science to mimic the mother's uterine environment and provide a good developmental environment for the fetus. The breakthrough of this technological innovation may also solve fertility problems for more infertile families!
As early as 2020, the first artificial womb sheep fetus in vitro cultivation in mainland China was successfully cultivated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and the lambs conceived through the sheep fetal artificial womb experiment were successfully born after 17 days and grew wool after 28 days. The success of this experiment has also enabled the mainland to make new breakthroughs in artificial breeding and walk at the forefront of the world.
Its emergence can not only solve the problem of many infertile family fertility, but also provide a new opportunity for some same-sex couples and some single men. The theoretical results of the experiment show that artificial uteruses are not only suitable for women, but also for same-sex couples and single men who want to have children. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as it can deliver enough blood nutrients to the placenta, it can survive. Well, if embryonic cells are implanted in the man's body. Does it mean that men in the future will be able to have children like women? Even men who can obtain eggs can become a reality if they want to raise their children independently.
There are data showing that with the development of the times, more and more women are reluctant to have children. According to the survey, 6.1% of women nationwide were childless in 2015, and by 2020, the proportion had surged to 10%. This may seem like a small number, but there are 690 million women in the country, which translates to nearly 70 million women who do not have children. The new technology of the artificial womb gives most women the expectation that they will no longer bear the pain of an October pregnancy, and it is also a lifesaver for premature babies. According to interviews, more than 85% of women are willing to try. We all know that since ancient times, the process of getting pregnant in October has been the hardest than for women.
But some people also question this, after all, the matter of having a child is a precious process, in which the mother can have enough time to establish an intimate relationship with the baby, and these are irreplaceable by artificial uteruses.
Elizabeth Chloe Romanis, a lawyer at the University of Manchester who has done research on bioethics in exploring artificial wombs, argues that before artificial wombs can become a reality, the legal and ethical issues arising from technology must be discussed. In addition to technological upgrades and clinical trials, the challenges of artificial uteruses are social and legal thresholds.
As a result, the implementation of this technology is still in the research and experimental stage, but it has attracted widespread attention from the medical profession and the public. However, more people are willing to see the benefits that artificial wombs will bring to human society, after all, this is really an encouraging thing for many people.
Although the current research on artificial uteruses is only preliminary for the healthy survival of premature babies, no one can say what it will develop in the future. If one day a man can really have children, are you willing to have children for your wife? [Cover face] [Cover face] [Cover your face] Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
