Has The World’s First Artificial Womb Facility been totally dangerous and harmful for mankind?

THE RIGHT THINKING 24


 Has The World’s First Artificial Womb Facility been totally dangerous and harmful for mankind? 

 
M Shariful Islam

The World’s First Artificial Womb Facility has been already experienced in the world to human being but Creator has given natural process of birth alive but we have already discovered many artificial process of birth of animals, trees as well as medical science for huamn being like TestTube Baby, Surrogacy and so on. In the process of birth of animals and trees, we have already got benefits like getting more crops where we have been also getting benefits of TestTube Baby eliminating infertility as well as we are getting healthy baby birth due to applying many process of medical science during pregnancy period and give birth time like surgery and others. But many more are taking surgery give birth despite her natural ability due to get healthy baby as well as avoid mother's risk of life and health conditions.

 

Islam has given many rules of birth of human being. Now questions have been arisen whether it is legitimate-halal or not?

 


Once Prophet prohibited to exchange flowers to pollination of palm-date trees for crops but it is seen less crops have been cultivated, then Prophet has permitted to exchange flowers to pollinate between trees, [Hadith]. It indicates trees and animals are allowed to breed applying scientific breeding process for more crops and benefits ie. consistent with Islamic order.

On the other hand, It is seen once it used to put immature baby into cotton to open its eyes. Now TestTube process has been approved by Islamic scholars as Tube is put into mother's womb. Even Surrogacy has been also legitimate in Islam for them who doesn't have other options though father and mother both have kept their own sperm to other hired woman's womb but generally it isn't legitimate-halal practice under Islam. Only infertility couple can apply this process.

 

In addition, if anyone hires sperm from sperm bank donation centre to put it his wife's womb to produce baby ie. not legitimate-halal under Islamic order. Before arrival of Islam under Quran, wife sometimes was pregnant by other male due to incapability of husband where Prophet prohibited it as it will be that male's baby as a father.

Prophet mentioned in Hadith stating one won't keep your sperm-water into another wife's womb/birth cultivating place.

But Islam has given opportunity to adopt children treating as best practice, even Prophet hazrat Mohammad(pbuh) also adopt children despite his own children.

 

On the other hand, artificial lab or machine to produce baby having womb from married couple's sperm like cotton womb for further development like eyes opening that is new scientific development though cloning is not allowed under international law across the world but it has mentioned it can complete some cloning like artificial breeding like animals or trees e.g. especial eyes, hair, skin colours, body structures like tallying as well as ensuring healthy. It is like surgery for safe pregnancy treating as most advanced scientific process of give birth where generally mother take many medical treatment, process, medication, for better healthy baby in modern time. Many things are also mentioned literally in Islam e.g. reciting Quran during pregnancy ensures baby's better brain as well as Salah for exercise and healthy foods.

In Islam, Creator has declared many virtue during pregnancy for mother including sexual intercourse. Even death of give birth mother will go to heaven without accountability. Islam always also inspires science and scientific processes, systems like modern treatment. But if a person uses wheel chair to move any place despite his good health where it is for only disable, then it is different issue. Science like religion expresses child has especial bonding-weakness-care with mother due to long time pregnancy.

Therefore, it is obvious Creator has ordered to apply natural process for give birth children. In case, couple can apply other processes if they are required due to their conditions.

Despite natural process, couple providing own sperm using just a machine like cotton or Tube can use this artificial womb like surgery of give birth with healthy babe purpose ie. legitimate under Islam as they are legitimate parent of child. Even laser treatment for beautification is legitimate under Islam but excess like changing black skin by white like Machiael Jackson isn't legitimate-halal under Islamic order without necessary grounds. So ensuring good health and small modification like equivalent of healthy foods, listening music-Quran, reciting Quran-poem, Salah or small exercise e.g. changing eyes, skin, hair colour and good health ie. allowed and permissible under Islam. But body modification like strange-man isn't allowed like changing sex without reasons like transgender.

Finally, it always remembers that Islam always supports scientific uses for positive purposes for benefits of mankind, creatures. For this reason, natural give birth is the first and general process of give birth where exceptions can be used for specific conditions. Almighty Creator has mentioned he gives son or daughter or disable child or infertility to test mankind or his servant. Even medical science can't cure disable pregnancy yet having good and healthy baby give birth, they just can miscarriage it. Even all scientific alternative options aren't always appropriate and effective where Test-Tube has only 40-50% success ie. also consistent with Islamic information with Creator rules, norm, orders, etc. We must pray towards almighty Creator expecting for good healthy baby despite applying scientific processes.
