Artificial Uterus
Extracorporeal gestation for space travel, reprogenetics, and medical support.
Artificial uterus (ectogenesis) would support fetal development outside the body. Research and experiments; animal trials (lamb) have demonstrated partial success. Applications include space travel, reprogenetics, same-sex procreation, and neonatal care for extreme preterm infants. Significant ethical and regulatory challenges accompany development.
