• Japan is pushing the boundaries of medical science with the development of an artificial womb system, aimed at supporting premature and critically ill fetuses. The device, part of the "EVE therapy" project, simulates the womb environment using a biobag filled with nutrient-rich fluids and connected to life-support tubes that mimic the placenta.

    Although the idea of full external gestation remains a distant goal, early experiments on animals show promising results. This technology could soon revolutionize neonatal care, reducing complications from premature births and increasing survival rates. As research progresses, bioethics committees are closely evaluating the societal, legal, and emotional implications of this breakthrough.

  • Human cloning is no longer just science fiction. Recent scientific advances in stem cell technology and genetic engineering have made it technically feasible to create a genetically identical human embryo. This leap forward—though still surrounded by international legal and ethical restrictions—could eventually lead to applications in organ regeneration, infertility treatments, or even reversing genetic disorders.

    But with this potential comes massive controversy. Bioethicists warn of a future where identity, autonomy, and the value of human life are put to the test. Could cloned individuals have the same rights? What happens to our definitions of family, lineage, and uniqueness?

    Although no cloned human has been born, the technology now exists. Governments and global institutions will soon face a pivotal decision: regulate, restrict—or embrace—the age of human replication.
