Would you grow your baby in a BAG? Gen Z backs use of artificial wombs

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

42 per cent of people aged 18-24 said they would support 'growing a foetus entirely outside of a woman’s body' In the first large-scale survey of its kind, Theos asked 2,292 people for their views on artificial wombs.

This revealed that the majority of people remain staunchly opposed to growing a child outside a mother's body except in cases where it might save the life of the mother or child.

Only Gen Z showed any significant support for the notion, with only 32 per cent saying they were opposed.

Artificial wombs are being developed so premature babies can continue to develop outside of the womb in an artificial 'bio-bag' designed to mimic the conditions inside their mother's uterus.

This could significantly improve survival rates for pre-term babies which currently stands at just 10 per cent for babies born at 22 weeks after conception.

Some people are concerned that using a machine in the place of a womb might deprive mothers of an important part of parenthood.
