Answer 1

To say it simply, ethics. We’ve been developing the technology to create an artificial womb for something like 70 years. It’s been successfully tested in animals. It was supposed to be ready for use in humans for premature babies a few years ago. It isn’t ready because it’s difficult to test in humans because ethics and laws. Also this technology could weaken the argument for abortion, and we can’t afford that.
