SCI-Day FRIDAY #2: Working Artificial Lamb Womb?

in #science6 years ago (edited)

Why not end off the week with a mind-blowing science video? I'm sure this one will be a doozy. Be sure to let me know what you guys think this insane progress might mean for the future of biology!

The Breakdown

Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have created an artificial womb. Inside of the womb, they placed a premature lamb fetus. They then kept the fetus in the womb for four weeks. The big question was: Would the lamb fetus survive?

This video is absolutely insane in terms of advancements in biology and is the first step into our eventual indoctrination into the matrix...

Did it work though?

Turns out, it didn't just survive, it thrived. Over its four weeks in the artificial womb, the lamb started to grow a wool coat, gained weight, and even opened its eyes. The researchers successfully tested eight lamb fetuses this way. But growing lamb fetuses is just the beginning.

At least there is one upside. Now that the baby farm is just decades away, there's a smalllll chance my great grandson could end up being Neo... That'd be pretty cool once the robots take over and perfect this crazy crap.


... My son probably wouldn't look quite like Neo though...

Thanks as always for watching! If you enjoyed the video, why not check out last week's video? Or maybe drop a follow! It's always appreciated!

No. Why would I. Cause of your cent vote? Much obliged, but I'd prefer a topical comment than a copy paste plug for yourself.
