Shocking forecasts about future births

Children born from artificial wombs, older women can become pregnant, human embryos will become familiar and no longer a major moral issue in 30 years, some experts predict.

How will birth in the future take place?

They envision a scenario like the babies born from test tubes - which was a shock to us 30 years ago - has now become a simple and most accepted process.

A lot of predictions about the future of reproductive support and other child-related medical advances have been made in a special report: " Making Babies: The Next 30 Years" , published in Nature.

Here are a few forecasts in this report:

• Infants as well as centenarians can have children.Infertility is eliminated at the root.
• Laboratories can create eggs and sperm for everyone.
• Human embryos will be made from eggs and sperm derived from pluripotent stem cells (which can develop into any cell type in the body).
• The fetuses will float in artificial wombs containing fluid, with umbilical cord attached to the machine.
• "Genetic cassette" will be inserted into the embryo stage to repair diseases like Huntington.
• Because the workpiece will be grown in the laboratory, mutations put into the workpiece can be adjusted and improvements can be programmed. However, there will not be " babies ordered" , because there is no single gene predicting a perfect child.
• In vitro fertilization will be as cheap as about $ 100 and will be available to women in developing countries as well as those who are infertile.

Even if in vitro fertilization is easy and cheap, experts are not sure if people will choose it or how to have a traditional child - sex.

"The traditional way is cheaper, more interesting and will not change in the next 30 years , " said Susannah Baruch, director of reproduction genetics from Johns Hopkins University's Center for Genetics and Community Policy (US). comment.
