How Would an Artificial Womb Work?

<p>The idea of an artificial womb sounds like science fiction; it conjures up dystopian thoughts of The Matrix. But this technology isn&rsquo;t as distant as it might seem &mdash; and the United States Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fda.gov/media/172183/download?attachment=" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">is considering</a>, in its late September 2023 meeting, how an approved artificial womb might work.</p> <p>Before we go any further, let&rsquo;s first make things clear: this is not replacing a human for an entire pregnancy. We aren&rsquo;t going to be making &ldquo;pod people&rdquo; any time soon.</p> <p>Instead, an artificial womb would be a support system for infants who are born pre-term and are severely underdeveloped, helping to provide the right system and environment so that they can finish developing and become healthy, fully developed babies.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/predict/how-would-an-artificial-womb-work-5abe0028877c"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
