evidence: Just a concept at this stage, EctoLife is the brainchild of Berlin-based producer, filmmaker, and science communicator Hashem Al-Ghaili, who has compiled the latest scientific advances related to childbearing and has shaped the gestation of the future. It’s based on over 50 years of groundbreaking scientific research conducted by researchers worldwide. With EctoLife, premature births and C-sections will be a thing of the past. Society would finally be able to meet the needs of parents who are tired of waiting for a response from an adoption agency and those who are worried about pregnancy complications. But most importantly, Al-Ghaili says EctoLife could allow us to confront the infertility crisis head-on. He also says it’s a perfect solution for women who had their uterus surgically removed due to cancer or other complications. The facility features 75 highly equipped labs that can accommodate up to 400 growth pods or artificial wombs. Every pod is designed to replicate the exact conditions that exist inside the mother’s uterus. A single building can incubate up to 30,000 lab-grown babies per year.
