World’s first artificial womb facility lets parents choose baby’s characteristics from menu

The world’s first artificial womb facility lets parents choose their baby’s characteristics from a menu.

EctoLife, able to grow 30,000 babies a year, is said to be based on over fifty years of groundbreaking scientific research.

The concept boasts that it will allow infertile couples to conceive their own babies and claims to be a “perfect solution” for women who have had their uterus removed due to cancer or other complications.

A so-called ‘elite package’ offered by EctoLife would allow parents to genetically engineer the embryo before implanting it into the artificial womb.
