THIS MACHINE COULD KEEP A BABY ALIVE OUTSIDE THE WOMB. HOW WILL THE WORLD DECIDE TO USE IT?
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
More than 10,000 infants in the US are born prematurely each year. Premature birth remains the nation's second-leading cause of infant death, and those who survive it may face crippling lifelong complications. Artificial wombs promise to save more babies, but the technology raises ethical questions that need to be answered before human trials begin. If perfected, the technology could rewrite the limits of viability.
