Over the years, the numerous advancements in technology that we have seen have been almost impossible to keep up with. Humanity has been able to accomplish things that at one time would have been considered unachievable. These advancements in technology have impacted us in many positive ways, such as making our lives easier and helping us live longer. Recently, there have been discussions regarding technology advancing to a point where it has gone too far and violates moral and ethical boundaries. Some would say that it is not a matter of if, but when it will get there!
Lisa Mandemaker is working with Maxima Medical Centre to create the first artificial womb for humans. On her website, lisamandemaker.com, she states positive outcomes like saving babies born prematurely or fixing/preventing genetic defects or diseases. Progress has already been made to accomplish that particular goal. In 2016, beckershospitalreview.com reported that the first ever three-parent baby was born using genetic engineering. This was done to prevent flaws in the mitochondria that can cause serious illness or death. The article states: “The technique that led to the baby boy’s birth was to move the DNA from an egg of the mother, who had mutated mitochondria, and place it in the egg of a healthy egg donor—after first removing the healthy donor’s nuclear DNA from her egg cell. That egg was then fertilized.” If procedures like this were to become normalized and taken one step further so babies are able to be born with DNA from multiple parents, this inevitably raises questions regarding parental rights!
At first, it may appear that Lisa Mandemaker’s goal of being able to carry a baby to term in an artificial womb is a positive thing, but the reality of the world that she wants to create tells a different story. On the Reprodutopia section of her website, she goes on to state: “Emerging reproductive technologies such as artificial wombs, genetic editing techniques, and artificial sperm and egg cells will not only affect the ways in which we have babies. Their use will change our experience of sexuality, gender, relationships, and family. We are challenged to rethink what is ‘natural’ and what it means to be human in a highly technological environment.
New questions arise: should men be able to get pregnant and carry a baby? How would you choose your partners when you no longer need them to produce offspring? And should your kin even be humans?
The Reprodutopia Clinic presents the thought-provoking visions of artists and designers; some could be perceived as dark or uncanny, while others might be seen as hopeful dreams about freedom, equality, and diversity. All are created to start a much-needed debate to help us make better decisions about what reproductive futures we actually want. […]
