Can a human baby be grown in an artificial incubator?

It is said possible but practically not prooved. It has never been done completly. Only until a specific state and then it was put into a utero. Especially not with humans as it is against the human rights. But technically it it the same with every mammal. But even it has not be done I strongly belief it is possible and when not now, then certainly in a few years.\n\nGreetings Dr.Seuss

Yeah but not too hard. the foetus will be tiny so won't be affected. just be careful.

A great way to do it would be to have a light bulb enclosed into a compartment inside your incubator.  Run the power to the bulb through a dimmer  switch or knob like you get at a hardware store so you can set the brightness.  Use a thermometer left in the incubator to find the brightness that will keep your incubator at about 95 F.  Just make sure you don't electrocute yourself or set your incubator on fire.  Light bulbs get pretty hot so don't put it too close to anything flammable.\n\nHere are some links to guides to building simple, inexpensive incubators like this:\nhttp://www.herpcam.com/incubator.htm\nhttp://www.motherearthnews.com/DIY/1982_March_April/Build_Your_Own_Incubator\nhttp://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/eggs/res20-incubator.html

This is an IVF baby. Not really a test tube baby. "Test tube" is a terrible name for it, invented in the late 70's when this was a very new and controversial technique. IVF stands for in-vitro fertilization. They take the mans sperm and the womans egg and fertilize them in a tube (ie-outside the womens body). Then the egg is fertilized they implant the embryo (called a blastocyst at this point) back into the womens uterus and she carries the pregnancy and gives birth the normal way. I hope this answers your question.

Biologically, yes, a normal person and a person with mental retardation can have a normal baby.  \nContrary to what mia t stated, the baby would not be a welfare target.  There is still one "normal" parent to care for the baby and another loving parent, who just happens to have mental retardation.  Also, just because some has mental retardation, that does not automatically mean they are incompetent.  Really, what's the difference between an IQ of 70 and 71?  \nI've met plenty of competent, caring people with mental retardation.

Yes, it is possible. In fact mother-son intercourse can be the most satisfying and fulfilling thing. Apart from social restrictions and invention of birth-control, a hygienic and well built women unless she is too old, due to motherly tenderness can be exceptionally enjoyable experience to a growing son. \n   This is my personnel experience. I am 37 years old, and my only son who is 16 had had many a times his moments of bliss between the warmth of my open legs !

I have no idea about baby incubators, but I remember when my son had been in a motorcycle wreck and was in a coma for about six weeks, his brain stem was unable to regulate his body temperature. Part of his care was a plastic pad with channels where water was pumped through. There was a thermostat and a connection to his body for a thermometer. If his body was hot, cold water was pumped through the plastic pad to cool him. If he got too cool, hot water was pumped through the pad to warm him. \nBaby incubators also provide a high percentage of oxygen to a baby, and can increase atmospheric pressure to help a baby breathe, sort of like an "iron lung" used for polio patients in the fifties.\nMy grandson was a preemie, and he had a device that gave his heart a boost, sort of like a mini difibrillator. You have probably seen defibrillators on TV shows, where the doctor puts two paddles on the chest, and the patient's body jerks from the electrical stimulus. Baby defibrillators have the pads in a band around their bodies, and their heartbeat is monitored, and restarted if it stops.

Natural birth is better for both the mother and the child.

It is medically possible at this point in time. A fertilised human egg (that has already made contact with sperm) is frozen while it is still a single cel and hasn't duplicated. Under a microscope scientists insert a needle and remove the cell nucleus that contains the DNA of the merged egg and sperm. They then insert a nucleus from the host person that contians their own DNA. The cell is then allowed to divide and continue growing, at the right time it would be placed within a surrogate mother like test tube babies until a baby is born with the exact DNA of the host person. Barring developments later in gestation such as the mother's diet and condition, the child will be an exact duplicate of the host who's DNA was used, until social factors kick in

incubate, 2 to 14 days

Please contact a pediatrician before giving your baby a supplement whether natural or chemical.  A baby's brain is developing more in the first 3 years than the entire rest of their lives, I would hate to see someone give a child something they were not ready to handle.

At this point in time it isn't really possible.  in theory it is though.  we can manipulate chromosomes in bacteria and viruses and engineer plants to contain more vitamins or be bacteria resistant but humans are different.  tampering with humans brings up a whole array of ethical questions.  If we were to 'engineer' humans to be faster, smarter and such we would have to select for those traits we want from people who possess these qualities and 'insert' that trait into the chromosome of the subject.  in theory we could do much more with this technology.  Currently this technology is a near vision at best.  \n\n~Chris~

When my sister was pregnant with my nephew the doctor told her that he would be born with horrific deformaties and that she should have a second trimester abortion. She chose to have her baby, knowing he may only live a few hours past his birth.He was born a perfectly normal healthy baby boy, except a little bit of reflux. Medical technology is grand isnt it?

Not yet, but scientists are working on it. Scientists have successfully grown eggs out of sperm cells in fish (see article). One day it will be possible for gays and lesbians to have biological children.\n\nhttp://www.livescience.com/animalworld/060206_fish_story.html

Well, there's artificial insemination, or whatever it's called. That's where they just take some sperm and inject it into the womb of a woman...or they can mix sperm and an egg together in a petri dish and then inject that into the woman.\n\nBut if you're talking all natural...no pregnancy without sex.

No, but it's not impossible- A widely held, but incorrect, belief is that the fetus must implant in the uterus.  The uterus is an excellent place for implantation, but the fetus drives formation of the placenta/umbilical cord, which can form on any vascularized tissue. This is the case in ectopic pregnancies-they are dangerous, but possible. It has been shown in male dogs that a fetal puppy can implant and grow on the external wall of the intestine, and develop-but the experiment was not taken to term.  There has never been an experiment reported in which a fetus was implanted in a man.  Theoretically it would be possible to grow a fetus in a man to the point that the fetus could be removed and kept alive ex vivo.  It would be dangerous for the man because of the massive growth in vascularization on any tissue the fetus implants, and the chance for bleeding, and since the man doesnt have the same hormones the fetal brain would likely develop significantly differently, but the end answer is that there is no physiological reason it is not possible.  I doubt, however, that it could be taken to term without serious danger to the man.
