Birth Machine? Robot designed to carry and give birth sparks ethical debate

Scientists unveiled the world’s first robot that can carry life and process as a woman’s womb in terms of pregnancy and giving birth, igniting wide ethical debate on social media.

A huge fuss erupted following the uncovering of the first robot with an artificial womb, which is able to carry and give birth.

According to the media, the robot is able to carry a fetus for 10 months in an artificial amniotic fluid environment and feed it through a tube that simulates the umbilical cord.

The new tech robot was created and developed by the Chinese company
“Kaiwa Technology” and it has sparked widespread controversy in scientific and ethical circles.

The company announced earlier the development of the world’s first robot equipped with an artificial womb, capable of completing pregnancy and childbirth on behalf of women.

The price of the new robot will be below 100,000 yuan ($13,900).

An X user slammed the new robot by saying, “This will not work well, we haven’t even fully begun to understand all the biological processes and requirements for proper gestation. We’re only now finding out how C sections affect a childs immune system. I can only imagine the kinds of issues children will have when born from these prototypes.”

Another person commented, “A fascinating development.  What are the ethical implications of outsourcing parenthood to technology?”

A netizen mockingly said, “Great, Earth needs yet another 8 billion humans for sure.”
