The claim
China will launch the world's first "pregnancy robot" in 2026, capable of carrying a human fetus and giving birth to a live baby.
Original review summary
Fact Crescendo Sri Lanka found no credible evidence or official announcement supporting the claimed 2026 launch. It says current artificial-womb research remains experimental and has not achieved full human gestation from conception to birth.[S1]
Additional context
The review distinguishes the claim from research on supporting extremely premature infants: it describes the Biobag as having supported extremely premature lambs for several weeks in an experimental setting. [S1]
