30 thousand children will be born without a female womb: what is 'baby pod' and how will the newborn be born through it?

Posted on 16th Dec 2022 by rohit kumar

In 1999, the Hollywood film \'Matrix\' came out, in which it was shown that humans are being produced in a factory. This film surprised people all over the world. But do you think it is possible to produce children without a female womb?

 

Scientist and filmmaker Hashem Al-Ghaili have answered \'yes\' to this question. Ghaily has claimed that soon in his company \'Ectolife\' it will be possible to produce a child in a pod ie a kind of machine.

 

Question 1: Who are those who claim to have created a child in a machine by challenging nature?

Answer: The person named Hashem Al-Ghaili, who has claimed to have born a child in the lab, is a resident of Berlin, the capital of Germany. Apart from being a scientist by profession, Ghaili is also a film producer.

 

He said- \'Ectolife\' will become the world\'s first artificial child-producing company. He told- Whatever discoveries scientists from all over the world have made in this field in the last 50 years, all of them together have been taken forward.

 

The \'Ectolife\' company has told on its website that initially 75 labs have been set up to work on this project. 400 \'baby pods\' have been installed in each lab to produce babies. With this, 30,000 children will be born through the machine.

 

Question 2: What is \'Baby Pod\' and how does it work?

Answer: \'Baby Pod\' is a machine, through which a child can be born without a uterus. This machine has been designed just like the womb of a woman. That\'s why it is also called an artificial womb.

 

To understand how this machine works, it is necessary to know how the fetus grows in the womb.

 

A fetus in the womb receives oxygen, nutrients, and hormones from the mother\'s body through a placenta.

 

The carbon dioxide that the baby releases at this time mixes with the mother\'s blood and is passed out. The womb also has a certain temperature and environment for the fetus. \'Baby Pod\' also helps the fetus grow and grow just like a woman\'s womb.

 

Question 3: What is the process of having a baby through \'Baby Pod\'?

Answer: If a man has an infertility problem and a woman is unable to become a mother, then this technique can be used.

 

For this, first of all, the sperm of a man and an egg of a woman are mixed in the machine. After this, this machine starts working like a womb.

 

Modern sensors have been installed in \'Baby Pod\', which is connected to an app. With this app, parents will be able to monitor real-time skin, pulse, temperature, heartbeat, oxygen level, blood pressure, breathing rate, heart, brain, kidney, liver, and other body parts.

 

Like a female womb, \'amniotic fluid\' is also inserted in this artificial womb. After extracting this fluid after 9 months, the newborn is also taken out of the machine.

 

Question 4: Will artificial pregnancy be different from natural pregnancy?

Answer: Scientist Ghaili, who is working on this technology, has claimed that this artificial womb will be so advanced that a common man cannot even think about it. He said- parents will now be able to give birth to a child of their choice.

 

In this artificial womb, the child\'s intelligence level, height, hair, eye color, physical strength, and skin color can be set.

 

Question 5: Why was the need for an artificial womb felt?

Answer: On the need for artificial wombs, Scientist Al-Ghaili has claimed that artificial womb facilities will be used to increase the population in countries with decreasing populations like Japan, Bulgaria, and South Korea.

 

Apart from this, many married couples cannot do intimate intercourse or have some other problem. If they want to give birth to a child without using the womb of another woman, then this machine will be helpful for them.

 

Not only this, this technology will prove to be very special for infertile couples and women who have had abortions.

 

Question 6: Can a baby be born through Baby Pod only in the lab or at home?

Answer: According to the company Actolife, if a couple does not have enough time to come to the lab to see their baby developing in the pod, they can also take the \'Baby Pod\' home.

 

Each pod comes with a battery that can be discreetly carried into your bedroom. The process of making a baby starts in this machine only after all kinds of tests. In such a situation, there is less possibility of birth complications, that is, any disease at the time of birth.

 

Question 7: What is the biggest problem in having a child through an artificial womb?

Answer: The first 10 days are the most important time after the sperm of men and egg of women are mixed. In these 10 days, sperm and egg together take the form of an embryo. The science behind the conversion of sperm and egg into an embryo is not yet clear. In such a situation, it is a challenge for scientists to adopt this natural process exactly in the artificial womb.

 

The mother\'s womb has its natural system for blood to reach the fetus through tissue. Scientists have not yet been able to develop these systems for artificial wombs.

 

These two biggest challenges are currently facing scientists for the development of the embryo in the artificial womb.
