into mouse foetuses with fully formed organs using artificial wombs

in a development they say could pave the way for gestating humans

outside the womb. Professor Jacob Hanna of the Weizmann Institute

of Science said:

We took mouse embryos from the mother at day five of development, when they are just of

250 cells, and had them in the incubator from day five until day 11, by which point they had

grown all their organs.

By day 11 they make their own blood and have a beating heart, a fully developed brain.

Anybody would look at them and say, ‘this is clearly a mouse foetus with all the

characteristics of a mouse.’ It’s gone from being a ball of cells to being an advanced foetus.

A special liquid is used to nourish embryo cells in a laboratory

dish and they float on the liquid to duplicate the first stage of

embryonic development. The incubator creates all the right

conditions for its development, Hanna said. The liquid gives the

embryo ‘all the nutrients, hormones and sugars they need’ along

with a custom-made electronic incubator which controls gas

concentration, pressure and temperature. The cu ing-edge in the

underground bases and other secret locations will be light years

ahead of that, however, and this was reported by the London

Guardian in 2017:

We are approaching a biotechnological breakthrough. Ectogenesis, the invention of a

complete external womb, could completely change the nature of human reproduction. In

April this year, researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia announced their

development of an artificial womb.

The article was headed ‘Artificial wombs could soon be a reality.

What will this mean for women?’ What would it mean for children is

an even bigger question. No mother to bond with only a machine in

preparation for a life of soulless interaction and control in a world

governed by machines (see the Matrix movies). Now observe the

calculated manipulations of the ‘Covid’ hoax as human interaction

and warmth has been curtailed by distancing, isolation and fear with

people communicating via machines on a scale never seen before.
