An Analysis of Ethical Governance of Artificial Uterine Technology:Examination Based on Partial Ectogenesis Technology
Artificial womb,whose current feasible research direction is partial ectogenesis technology,is a cutting-edge research area in assisted reproductive technology.Partial ectogenesis refers to the transplantation of premature fetuses into artificial womb for instead of human pregnancy,and its value is mainly manifest in the treatment of premature infants,fetal treatment,and reduction of pregnancy complications.Although this technology has not yet been approved for human trials,the ethical issues it may raise,such as controversy over abortion freedom,balancing risks and benefits,equal parental rights,and the moral status of newborns,are worthy of attention.The researchers and medical practitioners need to adhere to specific ethical frameworks,adhere to patients'best interest standards,clarify parental rights and responsibilities,ensure social justice through evaluation,and clarify the boundaries between treatment and enhancement,in order to promote the development of this technology towards"Technology for Good".
