It is concluded that an advanced civilization using an integrated, embryonic approach to recolonize Earth after global catastrophes and to colonize exoplanets could eventually colonize distant parts of its home galaxy and potentially the wider universe.

Ectogenesis for survival in deep space and deep time: reply to Gale and Wandel

Gale and Wandel (2021) describe my paper in IJA (Edwards, 2021) as having crossed the border of scientific plausibility into the realm of ‘science fiction.’ By science fiction, they presumably mean…

Space ectogenesis: securing survival of humans and Earth life with minimal risks – reply to Szocik

It is found that the potential for securing long-term survival is far greater for ESC than for standard colonies, while the bioethical and other risks are far fewer.

Humanity should colonize space in order to survive but not with embryo space colonization

The embryo space colonization (ESC) concept is an interesting, very rational and quite effective way to guarantee the survival of the human species, as long as the technology is achieved and no…

Why not artificial wombs?

Today, scientists in the United States and Japan are experimenting with both live animals and human cells to mimic the functioning of the womb, and while their work is in its early stages, it is worth exploring the scientific prospects and ethical implications of research on artificial wombs.

The aim of this article is to contemplate and consider the implications of ectogenetic reproduction for future 'ecto-children', so as to generate debate about some of the hitherto neglected repercussions of this reproductive technology.
