Doctors are developing artificial wombs in which embryos can grow outside a woman's body. The work has been hailed as a breakthrough in treating the childless.

Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from women's bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow. However, experiments had to be terminated after a few days to comply with in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) regulations.

'We hope to create complete artificial wombs using these techniques in a few years,' said Dr Hung-Ching Liu of Cornell University's Centre for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility. 'Women with damaged uteruses and wombs will be able to have babies for the first time.'

I say:

Give us personal helicopters, and do away with the Western notion of the dignity of the individual, and we'll be done. No more need for human progress. We'll have arrived. Or gone extinct, depending on your point of view. Pod people are well adjusted people. A gram is better than a damn.

Don't mind me. Too much alcohol in my blood surrogate.
