The Japanese have reached an invention that reshapes the concepts of motherhood and childbirth, represented in the first complete artificial uterus in the world, who is able to embrace life since its third week, and to follow the growth of the fetus until the moment of birth.
The University of Junundo in the Japanese capital, Tokyo, revealed the first artificial uterus that was tried through a goat fetus, which represents a qualitative leap in embryo care techniques that enable life to grow and prosper in a natural uterus simulation environment, and in the development of the path of medical progress that started with IVF, and reached the latest nursery techniques.
The Japanese achievement – which was highlighted by Episode (925/7/9) of the “Smart Life” program – represents the peak of decades of accurate research since the 1990s under the vision of a Japanese professor.
The system consists of a transparent biological room filled with artificial liquid liquid, and the room is connected to a complex network of tubes and sensors that monitor the development of the fetus and its vital functions, while the artificial placenta operates through an external rotational system that connects oxygen and nutrients directly to the fetus’s blood course through an artificial secret rope.
The artificial umbilical cord removes at the same time waste and carbon dioxide.
What distinguishes this achievement from previous attempts is its ability to support the development of the fetus from the very early stages. Unlike previous experiences such as the flexible artificial uterus, which was developed by Philadelphia Children’s Hospital in 2017, the Japanese regime has proven its ability to care for embryos since the third week.
The new invention can help thousands of embryos every year and help thousands of women who face risks during pregnancy, or they cannot have children because of a disease, but at the same time he carries with him major moral questions such as: Who bears the responsibility of the embryos in this case? What is the impact of this on our primary understanding of the determinants of motherhood and paternity?
Knowing that the need that prompted Japan To this invention is its demographic crisis, where the rates of births and the increase in the numbers of the elders and the elderly decreased due to the delay in the age of marriage and the increase in the number of players for it as a choice, the transformation of the priorities of young people towards material and personal freedom, and the overcoming of modern Western values between them.
In light of the Japanese invention, questions are asked before: Are we on the threshold of an era in which women are freed from pregnancy pain and lose the highest meanings of motherhood?
