Scientists can now grow a human embryo from day 1 to day 13 in a petri dish, because of the "14 day rule" they had to terminate the embryo at day 13. Well guess what the 14-day rule has been abolished allowing them to go farther than 14 days. Will this lead to an artificial womb?

So first and foremost this is nothing but a discussion so let's keep it civil. I just want to discuss the implications of this research, will this lead to an artificial womb? I'm very fascinated with the idea of growing human babies in artificial wombs.

"What’s next for lab-grown human embryos?" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02343-7

So here's my personal opinion, I do think this research will eventually lead to an artificial womb. I think it's possible we could see an artificial womb by 2050. Technology seems to be moving at an incredible speed these days.

I also want to point out that there are women who say they'd welcome the artificial womb.

Edit: It seems Nature put their article behind a paywall so here read this one, this one shouldn't have a paywall.
