...produce offspring. Once again, humankind is attempting to play God.
I hardly ever say this, but no, humanity and Earth do not only need this new technology, quite the opposite is true: any such scientific endeavor to create an #ArtificialWomb should be strictly prohibited and severely punished.
I am under no illusion that my opinion will be influential enough to become mainstream.

Where to start?
Humanity, as well as Earth, don't need this "reproductive machine" envisioned in the classic son, "In The Year 2525"*. Not only the ethical implications are disastrous.
Many richer people will be able to pretty much procreate as they like, combined with existing technologies like #IVF.
