With the use of synthetic wombs, EctoLife is a concept that allows parents to "create" customized children. People may select their baby's cognitive level, height, eye color, physical prowess, and even skin tone with a "Elite Package."
Have you ever considered the idea of a baby being "manufactured" in a setting resembling a factory? Many people are debating the future of pregnancy after seeing a video depicting rows of infants being raised inside a pod in what appears to be a scenario from Keanu Reeves' Matrix.
EctoLife, the "world's first artificial womb facility," is now simply an idea that would allow parents to have custom-made children.
According to his website, Hashem Al-Ghaili, a producer, filmmaker, and science communicator who resides in Berlin, is a "molecular biologist by trade."
According to Al-Ghaili, the EctoLife concept is the result of more than fifty years of "groundbreaking scientific study" by researchers around the world.
It will be able to create 30,000 infants every year in transparent "growth pods" in a laboratory.
According to the UK's Metro newspaper, the facility, which would be powered by renewable energy, would have 75 labs with up to 400 development pods or artificial wombs in each.
The environment within these pods is intended to be similar to that found in a mother's womb.
According to Metro, parents may monitor their child's growth and development via a screen on the pods that shows real-time data.
A phone app can be used to monitor this data as well.
“The artificial-intelligence based system also monitors the physical features of your baby and reports any potential genetic abnormalities”
Al-Ghaili was quoted as saying by Mirror.co.uk.
The infant can be taken out of the pod during birth with the "press of a button."
“EctoLife provides you a safe, pain-free alternative that helps you deliver your baby without stress. The delivery process is smooth, convenient, and can be done with just a push of a button”
A statement quaoted from Metro,
“After discharging the amniotic fluid from the artificial womb, you will be able to easily remove your baby from the growth pod”,
it further explained.
