““Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…””

An artificial womb used to help premature lambs fully develop after birth. This study is led by Alan Flake at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. According to an interesting comment by Winterplatypus:

“This is all about finding a way so the baby doesn’t have to breathe. Before you are born you get oxygen from the placenta via the umbilical cord.

Unborn babies cant drown because their lungs are already full of fluid, but if there is a problem with the placenta they can die from not having oxygen. When you are born, the placenta stops working and you have to start breathing.

The lambs don’t drown because they are transferred to the bag before they start breathing (before they are born), they still get oxygenated blood from their umbilical cord. The big tube attached to the bag has the umbilical cord inside it, it goes off to a machine that adds oxygen.

One of the main reasons why they are trying to develop this technology is because sometimes the fluid surrounding the baby gets infected with bacteria. When that happens the doctors have to get the baby out even if it’s too early. The baby suddenly has to start breathing but its lungs haven’t developed properly yet, so they get a lot of problems relating to breathing. It’s kind of a big deal because there was no alternative to breathing before.”
