Psalm 14:1 The Fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

Important Takeaways:

  • Terrifying ‘artificial womb facility’ where parents can pick their baby’s traits
  • EctoLife can grow up to 30,000 babies a year and parents can pick their children’s traits from a menu. The lab came about after fifty years of research, and is the brainchild of Berlin-baed Hashem Al-Ghaili
  • Hashem explains: “Introducing EctoLife, the world’s first artificial womb facility, which is powered entirely by renewable energy.
  • “According to the World Health Organization, around 300,000 women die from pregnancy complications.
  • “EctoLife artificial womb is designed to alleviate human suffering and reduce the chances of C-sections.
  • “With EctoLife, premature births and C-sections will be a thing of the past.”
  • “Thanks to CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing tool, you can edit any trait of your baby through a wide range of over 300 genes.
  • “It also allows you to fix any inherited genetic diseases that are part of your family history so that your baby and their offspring will live a healthy comfortable life free of genetic diseases.”
  • “In terms of timeframe, it really depends on the ethical guidelines. Right now, research on human embryos is not allowed beyond 14 days.
  • “After 14 days, embryos must be destroyed due to ethical concerns.
  • “If these ethical restrictions are relaxed, I give it 10 to 15 years before EctoLife becomes widely used everywhere.
