Would you want to take one home if it freed you up from the hassles of pregnancy?

A facility like EctoLife can improve the success rate of conception by using procedures like in-vitro fertilization and then transplanting the fertilized embryo directly into the artificial womb. Here, the growth and development of the fetus can be monitored 24/7, and timely interventions made to prevent the loss of pregnancy.

What Al-Ghaili also manages with this video is bringing to the fore discussions about the ethics of such a technology, where parents could be given the option to tweak multiple characteristics of their unborn child, which could even lead to a race for a "super baby" someday. Clearly, a technology like this would be a boon for those who cannot conceive or have a history of miscarriages or genetic conditions in the family. But if fertility rates keep dropping and the global north has a population crisis, this could soon become the mainstream way to have children.
