Artificial Womb Technology: an Examination of Human Rights, Ethics, and Legal Frameworks

As reproductive technologies advance, they prompt ethical and legal inquiries that challenge established definitions. The focus on Artificial Wombs Technology (AWT) has spurred debates surrounding ex utero fetal rights, impacts on women's reproductive autonomy, and future prospects like full ectogenesis. This thesis extensively explores these concerns from human rights, bioethical, and legal standpoints. Employing a meticulous methodology, including comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis, the study meticulously selects pertinent information. Findings emphasize the need for a nuanced analysis, encompassing psychological, ethical, sociological, and legal dimensions. The primary focus centers on exploring ongoing discourse and its implications concerning this topic. The hypothesis suggests that evolving debates, when approached from various perspectives and integrated methodologies, will illuminate critical implications for human rights, ethical guidelines, and legislative frameworks. By synthesizing fragmented sources and disparate viewpoints, the research aims to comprehensively analyze the topic and provide a holistic understanding. Crucially, these discussions not only influence perceptions and applications of the technology but also shape its ethical implementation, societal impact, and contribute to this field's transition from theory to practical application.
