Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Teresa Barron. She is assistant professor at Nottingham University, working on reproductive ethics and philosophy of parenthood. And today we're going to talk about her book, The Artificial Womb on Trial.
So Dr. Barron, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Thanks very much for having me here. So let's start perhaps with just a definition here, just also for people who might not be familiar with it to understand what we're going to talk about here.
What is artificial womb technology? Well, so artificial womb technology in the way that we might conceive it and the way that it's been presented in science fiction. doesn't exist yet. This is the kind of pod that we might imagine in which a human fetus grows outside of the human womb, the biological womb. I say human, but of course this could apply for any mammal.
