A short concept video by Berlin-based Hashem Al-Ghaili, a filmmaker and biotechnologist has been making rounds on social media talking about how artificial wombs could be a “safe and pain-free alternative” to have babies in the future. Al-Ghaili came up with the idea of an EctoLife Artificial Womb Facility.&nbsp;

Additionally, the video also shows how the “world’s first artificial womb facility” which is still just a concept, allows parents to produce a customised baby which could be “reinventing evolution” by growing up to 30,000 babies in a year.&nbsp;

“Ectolife allows infertile couples to conceive a baby and become the true parents of their own offspring. It is a perfect solution for women who had their uterus surgically removed due to cancer or other complications,” said the voiceover of the almost nine-minute animated video.&nbsp;

Based on five decades of what the filmmaker calls “groundbreaking scientific research” by scientists across the world, the video claims that it is aimed to help countries that are suffering from a decline in population giving the example of Japan, Bulgaria, and South Korea.&nbsp;

According to the video, the facility will run on renewable energy and house 75 labs, each equipped with up to 400 “growth pods”. The pods would be designed to replicate the environment inside a mother’s womb, in addition to the number of sensors and scanners to monitor the baby’s growth the data for which would be accessible to parents on their phones.&nbsp;

Furthermore, the growth pod and constant monitoring of the baby would also allow parents to know about any potential genetic abnormalities, said the video. However, before the artificial womb, the video shows that an IVF would be carried out by using the sperm and egg to create and then select the most genetically superior embryo.&nbsp;

The short film also shows how parents with an “elite package” will be able to genetically engineer “any trait” of their child from their hair colour, height, skin tone, and eye colour to even eliminating inherited genetic diseases and increasing their intelligence.&nbsp;

“You can edit any trait of your baby through a wide range of over 300 genes”, said the video. The babies would be taken out with a push of a button, with EctoLife providing a “safe and pain-free alternative”. Furthermore, it also said that with their miniaturised version of the product parents would be able to incubate their baby at home.&nbsp;

‘Artificial womb’ which can grow up to 30,000 babies a year? Scientist’s film shocks the internet

In what may seem like a rerun of a Hollywood movie, Chinese researchers have claimed to develop an artificial intelligence nanny, which can monitor and take care of embryos as they grow into foetuses in an artificial womb environment. &nbsp;

Does it ring any bells? Well, certainly, you must have witnessed the scene in some big budget movies. Let’s get to the depth of the claim. &nbsp;

The AI system has been developed by researchers in Suzhou, which is located in eastern Jiangsu province of China.&nbsp;

The findings of the study have been published in the domestic peer-reviewed Journal of Biomedical Engineering last month. &nbsp;

The AI nanny is currently looking after a large number of animal embryos, the researchers said. &nbsp;

The team, which is led by professor Sun Haixuan at the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, a subsidiary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the artificial womb, or “long-term embryo culture device”, is basically a container where mouse embryos are growing in a line of cubes filled with nutritious fluids. &nbsp;

Although the breakthrough may pave the path for the future of childbearing in a country facing low birth rates, it can eliminate the need for a woman to carry her baby as the foetus may grow safely and efficiently outside her body, as per the research paper. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The AI technology also helps the machine detect the smallest signs of change in the embryos and make changes. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The technology would “not only help further understand the origin of life and embryonic development of humans, but also provide a theoretical basis for solving birth defects and other major reproductive health problems”, they added.&nbsp;&nbsp;
