I was just looking for an appropriate thread to post a similar idea to. It looks like the inventors want to implant the whole artifical womb, kid and all, back into the mother. But if a kid was brought to term in one of these, I don't think artifical pre-natal "mothering" would help the kid as much as the real kind - about like formula vs. breast milk. kids learn a lot while in the womb- I imagine that it's close to hypnopedia, which also is in Brave New World. Hearing speech in the womb primes them to learn speech after they're born. That's my two cents from Child Psych class.

I am always willing to be told I'm not cynical enough, but I have to wonder who's doing the polls.
