b'Long time listeners of Flash Forward might feel like this future is kind of\\u2026 familiar. And it is. It\\u2019s actually the first future we ever traveled to on this show. A future where humans have invented artificial wombs. And this is a special bonus episode of Flash Forward where we\\u2019re going to go back and revisit that future, because a new piece of research recently came out about artificial wombs. I\\u2019m calling this, a BACK TO THE FUTURE episode.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0Related reading:\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0Fluid-filled \\u2018biobag\\u2019 allows premature lambs to develop outside the womb\\n\\xa0An extra-uterine system to physiologically support the extreme premature lamb\\n\\xa0Early Ectogenesis: Artificial Wombs in 1920s Literature\\n\\xa0The Man Who Ran a Carnival Attraction That Saved Thousands of Premature Babies Wasn\\u2019t a Doctor at All\\n\\xa0The World, the Flesh & the Devil An Enquiry into the Future of the Three Enemies of the Rational Soul\\n\\xa0The Hermetic and Alchemical Writings of Paracelsus\\n\\xa0Daedalus, or Science and the Future\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family.
