Artificial wombs could mitigate complications of prematurity by recreating a uterus-like environment with lab-made amniotic fluid, allowing underdeveloped organs to continue to grow.
The decision to use artificial wombs could create significant pressure on expecting parents, as current technology often falls short in supporting fetuses less than 23 weeks gestation.
While animal trials of artificial wombs have shown promise, there is debate on whether this is sufficient evidence to progress to human clinical trials from a bioethical perspective.
