Embryos get better start with IVF on a chip

sumsung submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.eurekalert.org)

Can conception be replaced by an automated artificial uterus? Researchers in Japan are building a tiny womb-on-a-chip in which an egg and sperm are fed in at one end and an early embryo comes out the other, ready to implant in a real mother.

Many conservative ethicists have objected to the creation of an artificial womb of any kind. I'm not sure why it bothers them, but this will probably set off some alarm bells.

Yes, I've heard of that. Is it just a US thing or a worldwide thing?

Personally, I think it's a "That's creepy and we don't feel like thinking about it" thing.
