In this article, Olson and Pellisier discuss how artificial wombs will change human reproduction. The authors believe that over time the concept of an egg, an artificial womb, will be used for human reproduction, rather than for incubating the fetus in a woman's body. This process is called ectogenesis, which is "the development of artificial wombs capable of supporting fetuses to term without the need for women's bodies." (Smajdor, 2007) This article discusses the concept of an artificial womb, the health and safety benefits, the benefits to potential parents, the possibility of gender equality and balanced parenting, and the potential resistance to the use of artificial wombs. “Womb” is not relatively new, it has made a fairly recent resurgence as we begin to see more examples and studies to prove the possibilities of another type of human gestation in the future. The authors write that "humanity will inevitably return to the egg via 'artificial wombs' that grant women the same gestational freedom as birds in the air" (Olson and Pellisier, 2011). Although the authors do not expect this technology to be available anytime soon, they believe that over time it will become available as a method of reproduction. Along with scientific studies, the arts are also beginning to realize the concept of an artificial womb. . In one of her recent performances, Lady Gaga emerged from a synthetic womb while performing one of her musical numbers "Born this Way" and other books and films have referenced this reproductive option. In 1932, Aldous Huxley wrote the book "Brave New World", a mixture of science fiction and fantasy, but it was a pioneer in the discussion of anticipatory developments in reproduction...... middle from paper......n The concept of using artificial wombs for human creation in the future through research will likely happen outside of the United States, but they believe it will happen. The idea of ​​using artificial wombs in the next 25 to 50 years is increasingly becoming a reality. Works Cited Garcia, JE (2005). In Vitro Fertilization.
