What next? China has made a bold step in reproductive technology by developing a pregnancy robot ( should be available in a year).
The robot will be equipped with a womb and is expected "to replicate the entire gestation process from conception to delivery"
The idea is to support families facing infertility...who knows what can go wrong. What are your thoughts?
You can read about it in the link below.

It's the same start-up as in vitro fertilization but instead of implanting the fetus into a living person, it continues in the "test tube". The fetus can be seen the entire time and can be easily aborted if anything goes wrong. (Unless laws continue to claim that a bunch of cells that can't survive on their own is a "baby".)

@Kandae11 Yeah, they have machines that will "nurture" the fetus. Changing the shape of the machine is no problem at all. And adding a robotic voice to the machine doesn't change anything, either.

@DaddyEvil l guess they have it all carefully planned out. I am just wondering what part the parents will play.

I don't know how I feel about this. I can see it having advantages and disadvantages

It is an odd machine for a robot to get pregnant.

@Kandae11 Thank you for explaining since I have heard of this before.

It’s like an advanced version of test tube babies, except the robot womb replaces the need for a mother’s womb so the baby can develop full term outside the body.

Technology is really advancing. I’m not sure what to think.

Now that sounds really bizarre but I guess in the modern world anything is possible,

"Ethical and legal discussions are already underway with officials in Guangdong Province, exploring policy frameworks to guide this unprecedented technology." - from same article
When it comes to robotics China says it does a lot of things that it doesn't really do. I suspect this might be one of those. I feel this is a large enough discussion to include the entire world community in medicine and social development not just Guangdong Province?

It's crazy the way things are going ....nothing will be normal or natural soon.
