The author, Prof. Guid Oei, from a technical university with a clinical background in obstetrics and infertility, is the leader of an international consortium of researchers working on the development of an artificial placenta. This book covers the definition, history, and ethical considerations surrounding artificial wombs. The book also delves into the different components of the artificial uterus, including the artificial amnion and placenta. The last three chapters discuss the challenges that need to be addressed before this technology can become a reality and its potential future applications. This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about artificial wombs. It's written in clear, accessible language that is easy to understand, even if you don't have a background in science or medicine. So, whether you're a curious layperson or a scientist looking to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the field, this book has something for you. 410 0$aCopernicus Books, Sparking Curiosity and Explaining the World,$x2731-8990 606 $aGynecology 606 $aReproductive health 606 $aPediatrics 606 $aNursing 606 $aGynecology 606 $aReproductive Medicine 606 $aPediatrics 606 $aNursing 615 0$aGynecology. 615 0$aReproductive health. 615 0$aPediatrics. 615 0$aNursing. 615 14$aGynecology. 615 24$aReproductive Medicine. 615 24$aPediatrics. 615 24$aNursing. 676 $a618.1 700 $aOei$b Guid$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01817572 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910996495303321 996 $aThe Artificial Womb$94375449 997 $aUNINA
