(ORDO NEWS) — A team of scientists from the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology in China is convinced they have developed an artificial womb with the necessary ability to carry a human embryo without the participation of a woman. Cloning is “human alchemy”, Rasputin’s prophecy about the future of humanity.
The device has artificial intelligence and is responsible for monitoring the growth of the fetus, as well as for its safety during pregnancy. In an article published in the Chinese scientific journal Journal of Biomedical Engineering, the researchers note that the uterus is already working, although so far it has only been used in mice.
The artificial womb, dubbed the “long-term embryo culture device”, is the place where the embryos develop through the supply of nutrients and oxygen.
The system has an optical device that tracks the embryo and provides key information about its growth. It is also controlled by artificial intelligence, which detects changes in conditions and adjusts the levels necessary for the proper development of the fetus.
On the other hand, he can classify embryos according to their health and developmental potential. If there is a serious problem with the embryo, the program is responsible for notifying the nursing staff so that the problem can be resolved.
Scientists have not yet put this innovation into practice, but believe that “this type of artificial uterus could allow a woman not to keep an embryo inside her body for nine months.”
There are still many unsolved mysteries of the physiological process of the normal development of the human embryo. Experiments with human embryos are illegal, but the “invention” could be a breakthrough for the future of motherhood in China, where the birth rate is at its lowest level in decades.
The Chinese scientist added that “this technology will not only contribute to a better understanding of the origin of life and human embryonic development, but will also provide a theoretical framework for addressing congenital anomalies and other important reproductive health issues.”
At least the same experiments and developments are underway in the US and Israel. Apparently the Chinese just got faster or more experienced.
Milestones in the history of cloning
In 1955, Emanuel M. Greenberg patented an artificial uterus.
In 2017, a research team at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia conducted an experiment in which four-month-old lamb embryos were grown on an ectopic life support system.
For 28 days, the lamb fetus was kept in sealed bags filled with concentrated saline, and a device was attached to the umbilical cord of the fetus to filter and saturate the blood with oxygen and nutrients. The fetuses of the lambs developed normally.
In 2021, a team of scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel succeeded in growing mouse embryos between 5 and 11 days of development (the normal gestation period for mice is 19 days) in nutrient-filled incubators published in an article in the journal Nature.
Thus, for the first time, the internal organs of the embryo are formed in an artificial environment. After 11 days of development without the supply of oxygen and nutrients through the placenta, the embryo becomes too large to survive and dies.
According to the team leader, Professor Jakub Hann, after the publication in the journal Nature, the scientists managed to go one step further and bring the embryos placed in the incubator on the first day after conception to the 11th day.
Clones, best doubles and Rasputin’s predictions for future monsters
Genetic engineering, clone tanks, cyborgs and artificial intelligence are all themes of human civilization, and if humanity survives the scenario of the impending doomsday, it will live to see all this. We have not even considered the huge number of ethical issues that need to be addressed.
We already know how this will end: there will be a million printed Chinese Boba Fetts, he will hunt down the little heads of the China-loving Jubb Huts and start canning the dogs with the remaining heads.
One hope is that the Anglo-Americans clone Darth Vader earlier and he will somehow solve the Clone Wars problem in his usual way, but let’s also remember what Grigory Rasputin Prophetic said on the subject:
“Monsters will be born, neither people nor animals,” Rasputin predicted. – There are many people who will not have a mark (umbilical cord) on the body, but there will be a mark in the soul. Then one day you will find in the cradle a monster of monsters – a soulless person.
“The irresponsible human alchemy will eventually turn the ants into giant monsters that destroy homes and countries, and water and fire will be powerless. Eventually you will see frogs flying, butterflies in kites, and bees like kites Crawling on the ground.”
