One of the biggest challenges of the 21st century will also be one of the most Biblical, the artificial womb. Science and technology have brought mankind to the brink, and if we cross this line there is no going back.
As it stands, right now researchers are in what we will call the designer phase of bringing about the artificial womb.
Scientists and researchers have worked tirelessly to bring to life an ‘ectogenesis,’ where humanity no longer needs humanity to create babies. The coming problem is much bigger than the one we face today, and unfortunately so many fail to realize the drastic shift in our culture is due to an agenda driving scientific discovery.
While some may think an artificial womb is something from a sci-fi film, you should know, that in April of 2017, scientists publicly grew the first baby sheep in what is called a biobag.
The biobag is being hailed as an answer to the premature birth problem that so many women face, and the artificial womb is being hailed as the end of infertility. But in reality, the artificial womb will create more of a problem than it will fix.
As of right now, scientists and artists are crafting a way for the artificial womb to be sellable to the public. On June 22nd and 23rd, 24 student teams from 22 universities around the world gathered at the Biodesign Challenge Summit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. One of the teams from the summit put forth a design concept for the artificial womb, and it is truly likened to that of Brave New World.
Jasmijn van der Weide, Jeroen van Kempen, Lovisa Minkiwicz, 2nd year students have been selected to present at the Biodesign Challenge Summit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) on 22-23 June in New York City. The Biodesign Challenge (BDC) is a university competition, that partners college students with scientists to envision new ways to harness living systems and biotechnology. The students have been working with professors, scientists, and subject-matter experts to explore the possible ways biotechnology may reshape our lives.
The group designed a speculative context to open the debate between design, technology and ethics. The Par-tu-ri-ent project is about future parents and childbearing, with the possibility to grow and design your child in an external pod. By shifting the focus of the discussion from a purely scientific approach to a social approach, we can get a realistic impression of what the consequences of the progress of biotechnology and biodesign could be.
The project was supervised by Katja Gruijters and Sander Luske. With support of Rolf Schoeber, Peter Traag and Judith van den Boom and Dr. Jeroen de Ridder & Dr. Wigard Kloosterman, Dr. Terry Vrijenhoek ,University Medical Center Utrecht, University Medical Center Utrecht, Emy Kool, Ethicist, University Medical Center Utrecht, Sos Astrup, Midwife, Hans Bergmans PhD, (retired) NIPHE, Actors Annebel Overbeeke, Harun Balci, Grace van der Zee.

The university students and the organizers of the summit alike openly admit that in the near future, mankind will design its offspring, however, therein lies a problem. Once we remove the Hand of God from pregnancy, humanity gives that control over to both technology and humans, and the result will not be human.
To conclude, if evolution is real and natural, why do we then have to force its hand through technology?
I do not believe that we can stop this as the world and abundant evil drives this. Even if we tried to physically take action against those involved, it would be to no avail. What we can do is make known our opposition and try to get others who are for this adulteration of humanity and rebellion against God, to see the truth and maybe hinder progress. A question we need to ask ourselves, something we should never have reached, are these beings human? Do they have a soul and can know Christ as their Lord and Savior? I don’t know if they are planning on using a sperm and egg and artificially inseminating or completely fabricating the dna (which they are working on to bring extinct species back, among other things)?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I JUST WATCHED THE BOTH OF THOSE VIDEOS WITH MY HAND OVER MY MOUTH THE WHOLE TIME-APPAULLING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. EVEN IF YOU FORGET THE FACT THEY ARENT HUMAN ANYMORE~EVEN IF WE PRETEND THERE ARENT GOING TO BE ‘NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS’- I CANT BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUES THESE ‘CHILDREN’ WOULD HAVE WITHOUT BEING PHYSICALLY CONCEIVED AND CARRIED BY THEIR MOTHER. YOU THINK WE HAVE FAMILY UNIT ISSUES NOW, WELL THE BOND THAT MAKES FAMILIES SO STRONG WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN STARTED AND IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR IT TO JUST HEAR THE PARENTS’ VOICES OR TO BE MECHANICALLY ROCKED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. BABIES NEED REAL HUMAN CONNECTION EVEN BEFORE THEY ARE BORN- NOT TO MENTION THE INCREDIBLY COMPLEX CHEMICAL/HORMONAL ATTACHMENT AND COMMUNICATION THAT OCCURS BETWEEN A MOTHER AND CHILD IN THE WOMB. I DONT CARE HOW ADVANCED THEY SAY THE MACHINES WILL GET. I AM TELLING YOU THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TRULY REPLACE A HUMAN MOTHER AND FATHER DURING ANY PROCESS OF CONCEPTION, CHILD BEARING, OR BIRTH. THEY ARE TREATING THE PROCESS OF BRINGING A NEW CHILD OF GOD INTO THE WORLD LIKE A TRIVIAL CHORE THAT SHOULD BE MECHANIZED SO PEOPLE CAN DO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS– WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR OWN CHILD? YOUR JOBS. THATS WHAT. OF COURSE YOUR JOB IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THIS WORLD- ISNT IT? KEEPS YOU ATTATCHED TO THE MATERIAL THINGS. THE MONEY. MAYBE NOT FOR EVERYBODY BUT THE POINT STANDS. THE FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE (WHOM I HOPE ARE ACTORS) ARE SO BLINDLY IGNORANT AND STARRY EYED I CANNOT BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THEIR FOOLISH THOUGH PROCESS. THE WOMAN SAID SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT PREGNANCY AND YET THEY WANT AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO CARE FOR A CHILD AFTER ALL THE ‘WORK’ (YES IT IS VERY HARD WORK FOR A MOM) IS DONE. PUTTING THEIR COMPLETE TRUST IN AN INDUSTRIAIZED ENTITY THAT HAS ZERO REGARD FOR THEIR HEALTH AND WELL BEING–DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE EUGENICS ASPECT- THIS WHOLE IDEA MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO CONSTRUCTIVLY OPPOSE THIS SORT OF THING TO HELP CHANGE PEOPLES OPINIONS OF IT ALL. MAYBE I CANT STAND IT BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN. EITHER WAY, YOU ALL SHOULD BE SHITTING BRICKS ANGRY IF YOU CAN EVEN HALFWAY SEE WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. WE GOTTA GET ON THIS GARBAGE TRAIN AND STOP IT. GOD BLESS..
