The "artificial uterus" that brings hope to premature babies is really coming? Experts talk about new technologies and technological ethics.
first heardWhat is the first thing that comes to your mind with the word "artificial uterus"? Is it the psychological fear of creating people in a laboratory in a science fiction movie, or an infinite imagination of new technologies? Nowadays, countries around the world are paying attention to this new technology in the field of life science, and hope that it can make a corresponding contribution to improving the survival rate of premature babies.
On the occasion of World Premature Birth Day on November 17, Science Popularization China, together with the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Society for Science and Technology Policy, planned to launch the "Artificial Uterus" around a cutting-edge biotechnology that benefits premature infants-artificial uterus technology? -- The theme program of "Dialogue between Science and Technology and Ethics" invited Professor Zhao Gaofeng of Lung Transplantation Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, who cultivated the first artificial uterine fetal sheep team in my country, and Deputy Dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Professor Guo Ruixia, together with Professor Ye Sheng from the School of Medical Science and Engineering of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Zong Junlin, director of the Medical Humanities Editorial Department of China Science and Technology Press, we discussed the topic of artificial uterus from multiple latitudes such as medicine, science fiction, and ethics.

In the program, experts launched a heated discussion on whether the artificial uterus, which is of public concern, can completely replace the natural uterus, whether the artificial uterus will really bring about the problems of robot birth, laboratory creation, and the ethical boundary of scientific and technological development..
During the discussion, the basic principles, development and current progress of the artificial uterus were also popularized for the public, and the birth process of China's first artificial uterus animal experiment was introduced, as well as the role and value of artificial uterus technology in the treatment of premature infants.
This program has attracted the attention of the majority of science enthusiasts, provided the public with an opportunity to understand the relevant knowledge of premature infants and the cutting-edge biological technology, and also gave the public a clearer and comprehensive understanding of the artificial uterus, and could look at the development of new technologies from a scientific and rational perspective.
