What is the status of artificial wombs? Including both public and speculative domains.

Should we use them? Is there any point in man continuing on in a Brave New World? Discuss.

>What is the status of artificial wombs?
Got them workings for lower mammals, Human testing is probably bit off.
>Should we use them?
Sure. Mainly because Females would trip the fuck out over them. However I do not see wide adoption because their mere presence would radically shift gender politics back towards a balance. Same with sex robots
>Is there any point in man continuing on in a Brave New World?
sure, because we an conquer it

What if it was State sponsored and the entire population either had limited (managed) fertility, or were sterile?

Quoted By:

At some point,conventional pregnancy and birth may be viewed as barbaric-after all,if it is well made enough an artificial womb allows doctors unprecedented access to the vitals and development of a fetus while not bringing a host of potential difficulties to the woman who would ordinarily be with child. Children born of this are much less likely to be premature,exposed to infections or accidents, and will havem uch better screening for potential illnesses and deformities.

Pressure, not legal but social, would probably make this very commonly used by all but fringe adherents of certain religious sects within a century or so. The idea that women would seek to ban them is silly-there is no energy opposing such research and early on they would be used to help women with defective wombs or other issues have children without having to hire an expensive as fuck surrogate. Cost seems likely to fall sharply-the fundamental tech isn't THAT complicated, we understand the hormonal and nutritional balance that nourishes a growing fetus better with every passing day. Still, this tech is a ways off. I look forward to seeing it advance over the next 30 years,.

It would definitely allow them to clamp even earlier.

No-birthing would be a gentle affair, and post-removal nutrition and hormone delivery would be sustained,potentially for much longer than is usual for even a non-clamped natural birth. The clamping is mainly done to try to go easier on the mother and speed up getting the newborn off of using her stressed, exhausted body's nutrition and it's clearly not ideal,and that simply does not need to be done in a birth where there is no mother at all. On a loosely related note, I think we are slowly seeing the wind blow against circumcision in the west-its benefits are so slight and silly (mildly reduced odds of AIDS transmission maybe? Slightly easier to clean,but as someone who has a foreskin it's not hard to learn to retract it and get it clean ffs) and its potential downsides of complications and in some cases reduced sensation are very serious.

If we look back on man's history, regardless of the knowledge, regardless of the context, what we could have done is not what we did do. At best we weaponize, further dominate the lower classes, and then a decade or two later a little bit of benefit trickles down in the form of consumer goods or what have you.

It really is a Brave New World though. The possibility of small groups arising who desire to (or accept the necessity of) create ubermensch, does exist. And perhaps they could ultimately stand against the Rome (or commonwealth) of their day.
