China develops 'pregnancy robot' capable of giving birth to live baby

China develops 'pregnancy robot' capable of giving birth to live baby

"Since the 1970s, feminist activists such as Andrea Dworkin have been strongly opposed to the use of artificial wombs on the grounds that it could lead to the 'end of women'.
In 2012, Ms Dworkin wrote: 'Women already have the power to eliminate men and in their collective wisdom have decided to keep them.
'The real question now is, will men, once the artificial womb is perfected, want to keep women around?'"
Anyway... it says it just in the prototype stage.
Robots can be cheaper though....I didn't know that there was a shortage of available wombs.
That was the theme of the 1977 sci-fi movie "Demon Seed".l'll believe it when human females give birth to robots.
l'll have to give "Demon Seed" a look see.That was the theme of the 1977 sci-fi movie "Demon Seed".
Don't worry. They'll be too busy looking after babies.Ridiculous. Some day these robots are going to attack us and rule the world.
Such a sophisticated robot with a functional womb and biological support systems sounds like it would be pretty pricey to me .Robots can be cheaper though.
That will truly be AI. All those hungry babies.This smells like an AI image to me. The whole idea is ridiculous. What's the point of the robot, especially one with plastic breasts?
I agree. I didn't quite get it at first. Had to reread it. I just have trouble envisioning them getting something like that to actually work. To grow a baby in a robot.From what I can understand, that couple used sort of a robotic form of IVF.
The embryo would then have been transplanted into the mother and she carries the pregnancy as usual
So, improved version of IVF but not a robot giving birth to a baby.
There is more.I've seen everything now...
