Ectogenesis means in vitro fertilization and embryo development outside mother’s womb. Nowadays there is no technology which allows to control complete human growth in an artificial environment. Futuristic insight into the society breeding in Hatchery and Conditioning Centres was described by Aldous Huxley in a dystopian fiction Brave New World and shown in a film Sexmission directed by Juliusz Machulski. Church’s Magisterium condemn hypothetic possibility of complete human ectogenesis, because it is in opposition to the dignity of a human being. Expression of this teaching is found in the Encyclical Evangelium vitae, Instructions of Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Iura et bona, Donum vitae and Dignitas personae. A partial ectogenesis is actually usedin neonatology. It enables to sustain a life of a child from 22 weeks of gestation. The Catholic Church teaching gives moral evaluation of actions which concernusing experimental therapy on preterm infants. This article presents a mechanical ventilation therapy of preterm infants, a current state of research on artificial placenta conducted on animals, and an answer to the question if it is morally permissible to use hypothetical artificial placenta technique on extremely pretermhuman children.
