Recently,
scientist
s from the
Cornell
University's Center for Reproductive Medicine and
Infertility
have created an artificial womb that allows
embryo
s to grow outside the human body.
They are created with cells from the mothers'
uterus
, by removing cells from the
endometrium
and growing them on a
biodegradable
scaffold
. The cells then grow around the scaffold, using
hormones
and growth factors. The scaffold later dissolves leaving the artificial uterus intact. Finally, embryos left over from
in vitro fertilization
are placed on the lab-engineered
tissue
and begin to settle.
To adhere to
IVF
legislation
, the experiment was
terminated
after 6 days (the laws dictate they must be halted before 14 days).
The intent of this
research
is to allow women with
reproductive problems
to still bear
children
. The
artificial womb
s could be made from a woman's own cells, eliminating
rejection
s.
This research does have some ethical problems. Dr Scott Gelfand, of
Oklahoma State University
in a statement said "some
feminist
s say
artificial womb
s mean men could eliminate women from the planet and still perpetuate our species." The right wing lobby fears that this technology would allow
gay
couples to have children. It also has implications with working women and
maternity leave
.
