An artificial womb contains cells from the lining of the uterus and this is where the egg is implanted. It would have to successfully replicate many of the physiological features that occur naturally in pregnancy, particularly those provided by the placenta. These include the transfer of nutrients and oxygen to the foetus, and the excretion of waste products such as urea and carbon dioxide.

Pros:
- Will benefit women who have damaged wombs
- Equality for both sexes
- Women do not need to take maternity leave
- Deaths of premature infants could be drastically reduced
- Artificial womb may be safer than a 'normal' womb, ie the risks of diseases, accidents, drugs, alcohol, pollutants, inadequate nutrition, etc., would all be virtually eliminated
- Will benefit women who can't conceive
- If technology improves, will benefit same sex couples
- Could potentially end abortion debate, ie instead of terminating the pregnancy, the baby can be moved to the artificial womb and put up for adoption
- chances of babies being premature will also reduce drastically
- the cahnceof genetic disease will also decreases which also let older women to have babies and no need to worry about the greater chance of the baby having genetic disease

cons:
- It goes agsint the Abraham religions
- it is not natural
- it would be bit expensive
- a lot people say babiesmay will feel less attach to their mother but it didn't yet got proven if babies feel attach by either nuturing after birth or in the fetus.

Let's say that you're in a happy relationship. However, the female in the relationship (you or your partner) is raped by a stranger. It's a horrible event to have happened, but she becomes pregnant from it.

Knowing that the male in the relationship is not going to be the actual father, would you want to keep the child? Put it up for adoption? Or abortion?

Sorry for the horrible question, I just randomly thought of it.

At the pet store today they had 6 kittens from the humane society up for adoption. I really wanted to adopt one.
