Noun
/ˌɛk.təʊ.dʒən.ɪ.sɪs/
Ectogenesis refers to the development of embryos outside the female body, usually in an artificial environment. It is often associated with scientific research in fields like reproductive health, biotechnology, and bioethics. The term is relatively specialized and may not frequently appear in everyday conversation but is more commonly found in written contexts, particularly in academic or scientific literature.
Ectogenesis is used more often in written contexts than oral speech, predominantly within scientific discussions, journals, and ethical debates surrounding reproductive technologies.
Эктогенез может революционизировать наш подход к лечению бесплодия.
The ethical implications of ectogenesis are hotly debated among scientists and ethicists.
Этические аспекты эктогенеза горячо обсуждаются среди ученых и этиков.
Advances in ectogenesis technology raise questions about the future of human reproduction.
Ectogenesis is not very common in idiomatic expressions. However, it is often part of discussions regarding ethics in science and reproduction. Below are sentences using terms related to ectogenesis:
Мы ходим по тонкому льду в исследованиях эктогенеза.
"Ectogenesis may open a Pandora's box in discussions about genetic engineering."
Эктогенез может открыть ящик Пандоры в обсуждениях генетической инженерии.
"The advancements in ectogenesis are a double-edged sword for society."
The term "ectogenesis" is derived from two parts: "ecto," which comes from the Greek "ektos," meaning "outside," and "genesis," from the Greek "génesis," meaning "origin" or "creation." Thus, ectogenesis literally means "development outside."
