Since the successful human experiment of artificial womb technology in 2113, what has promoted the industrial development of the field of in vitro parenting is not so much the advantages of the system as the disadvantages of the human body itself.

This technology has been developed, promoted, and matured with the promotion of some countries in East Asia to reverse the decline of negative population growth. However, they are also socialist countries with stagnant population growth. Nordic countries have always respected the gifts of nature.

Pay more attention to natural pregnancy and birth. Yes, children are mainly born to women.

Not to mention countries with a strong religious atmosphere. Apart from giving birth to children, how can women realize the value of their existence in this world?

When the in vitro parenting industry first emerged, it mainly targeted wealthy people around the world, who either had physical disabilities and were unable to have children, or were too old to be able to give birth to a new life.

But as this new industry developed, strange deviations occurred.

For example, the offspring of same-sex test-tube babies, given the opportunity to be born secretly, have begun to account for a very small proportion of the population of various countries. Although the number is rare, it cannot be ignored, which makes some defenders feel a bit embarrassed.

For another example, in East Asia, where career competition is fierce, many women of childbearing age purchase in vitro child care services to avoid leaving their jobs. This makes the originally high-end in vitro child care services become a bit...

Civilization?

Even in this country, in order to cope with the shrinkage of the labor force caused by the births of women of childbearing age, in order to simultaneously ensure the number of working population and fertility rate, and curb the decline in population quantity and quality; after more than ten years of commercialized in vitro childcare services, it was finally

In the 1950s (22nd century 2155), this service was incorporated into the national security system and became a social welfare related to economic prosperity and even the continuation of civilization.

Subsequent changes have gone even further.

Generally speaking, compared with other animals, humans are physiologically premature babies because their brains are too large. Babies are separated from their mothers before their bodies are fully developed to avoid being unable to be born because their heads are too big. This means

This brings about a difficult period of external development. In addition to the indispensable sucking instinct, the baby has no mobility and cognitive abilities, and is completely unable to protect itself.

Among the three main human races, due to the relationship between evolutionary branches over tens of thousands of years, East Asian adults have the largest average brain capacity, the average gestation time of babies is the longest, the birth head circumference is the largest, the rate of natural dystocia is the highest, and twins

The birth rate is the lowest, and babies are the last to learn to walk and learn to dress and eat independently. African women have the best fertility performance, with the highest twin rate and the fastest babies to become independent. The performance of indigenous European races is between the two.

Due to these shortcomings of human beings, in order to improve the development of babies raised in large industries and reduce the difficulty of raising them after taking them home, child care institutions and universities in East Asia have carried out decades-long experimental research. Babies imitate the human environment from the beginning.

The 280 days of in vitro development gradually increased to 320 days of in vitro development. This is a milestone result. The newborns of babies born at this age

The disease incidence rate is only about 5% of that in natural birth. Subsequent studies have gradually achieved a development period of more than 360 days. However, in addition to a further slight reduction in the incidence of neonatal diseases, development above 360 ​​days of age is different from that of 320 days of age.

There is no obvious advantage in development. The optimal development period was thus determined to be between 320 and 360 days. This was used as the standard for in vitro parenting throughout the mid-22nd century.

Until some other factors intervene in parenting.

That is early education.

Some people have been trying to add early education to the process of in vitro parenting. The effect is better than nothing. The higher the charge for early education as an additional service, the more psychological comfort it can provide to new parents.

The decisive breakthrough came in the mid-1970s.

Comparative research and practice on the early education of infants raised in vitro between 200 and 360 days old and the early education of ordinary fetuses/infants has long proven that early education of infants reared in vitro cannot achieve better results than ordinary fetuses/infants.

.Research data on unborn babies over 360 days old are extremely rare, and there is a lack of early childhood education data. In the mid-1970s, a

A report on some unborn babies around 400 days old fills this gap. The report comes from official nurseries. Over the years, there have always been some lazy parents in various places who failed to take away their babies in time, causing babies to stay in nurseries. Because after birth

Babies belong to completely different fields. Taking care of them requires additional professional caregivers to be hired for 24-hour manual care. Official childcare

Nursery funds are limited and there is no budget at all. Each nursery is forced to temporarily keep these older children who should leave in the equipment and continue to provide a developmental environment. In order to prevent these children from going blank when they officially enter the world.

, grow into idiots, each nursery has more or less adopted some early education measures, mainly to continue the language and visual education after 320 days of age.

and touch stimulation. The conditions of "senior" babies in various places are isolated from each other. This report integrating the conditions in various places provides new ideas: Although early education for unborn babies cannot achieve better results than ordinary babies, these small children

Taking care of the doll is very simple! It is much easier to get along with! With equipment monitoring 24 hours a day, there is no need for additional manpower expenditure!

All that is needed is a more suitable nutritional formula and a reasonable early education program.

This is what was perfected in the next fifty years of development.

In the 23rd century, with an average of 610 days, a 20-month external development period, strong babies that can run and scream at birth, a complete public care and education system, and a doubled prime-age labor force, people would rather pay a pension than pay a pension.

Male and female animals plan to take care of their young by themselves; the people of the big countries in East Asia are running on a derailed road and never look back.
