How can the artificial womb be made affordable for the common people?

+0
−0

The artificial womb has become a reality, freeing many women from the 9 month burden of carrying a child. Unfortunately, it was not the liberating game changer that feminists hoped it would be. These machines and the technology behind them require multiple steps, and extensive maintenance in order to work successfully. They must provide the necessary requirements:

  1. Ultrasound fetal heartbeat monitor
  2. Implantable blood chemistry monitor
  3. Method for placental monitoring
  4. Cheap genome sequencing
  5. Big-Data analysis of blood chemistry monitor matched with genome sequencing
  6. Rapid transplantation of fetus from womb into an artificial womb.
  7. Chemical duplication of mother's and baby's hormones.
  8. Creation of a viable artificial placenta

Artificial wombs must be housed in specially built facilities, where all these steps must take place and they can be monitored around the clock. This creates a very expensive process from start to finish. The exorbitantly high costs have led to them only being affordable by the wealthy, privileged elite. This has led to much consternation in society. In addition to this, many conservative advocates and other discontent have taken matters into their own hands, attacking and attempting to sabotage. The facilities have to be guarded 24/7, leading to even higher expenses.

How can the cost of a artificial wombs be reined in to make it more affordable for ordinary people?
