Anyone has any idea about how far this research is nowadays? The applications could be life saving beyond neonatology: - Pregnant women being diagnosed with illness that would threaten the baby. - Pregnant women being diagnosed with illness for which the cure would threaten the baby. - Pregnant women in very serious accidents (mother dying, such a device could save the baby). - Infertile couples not wanting to use a surrogate mother. - Like "alexeisadeski3" said, gay couples wanting to have a baby (but then, which one gets to be the biological father?). In the crazy science department, this would render the cloning of extinct species more viable. Unfortunately, it could also reduce the hurdles to create genetically modified beings.
