 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

CHINESE SCIENTISTS ARE WORKING ON THE WORLD’S FIRST “GESTATION ROBOT” THAT COULD POTENTIALLY GIVE BIRTH TO A LIVE BABY. (PHOTO).


Chinese scientists are working on the world’s first “gestation robot” that could potentially give birth to a live baby, according to a report by The Telegraph. 

The machine is being developed to imitate a natural pregnancy, allowing a fetus to grow from conception to delivery inside an artificial womb. Nutrients would be supplied through a tube, similar to how a mother’s body supports a child during pregnancy.


The project is being led by Dr Zhang Qifeng, a scientist from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, through Guangzhou-based Kaiwa Technology. Dr Zhang has said that the technology is already in a “mature stage” and is now being prepared to be implanted in the robot’s abdomen. This would allow real human interaction with the robot while the fetus grows inside. A prototype is expected to be launched in 2026, with an estimated cost of about 100,000 yuan (around $14,000).


If successful, the robot could provide a new solution for infertile couples or individuals who wish to avoid the physical challenges of pregnancy. Globally, infertility affects about 15 per cent of couples, and this breakthrough could revolutionise reproductive science. The technology builds on past artificial womb research, such as a 2017 experiment where premature lambs were kept alive in a synthetic fluid-filled “biobag.”


However, the project has also sparked debates over ethics and safety. Experts are raising concerns about issues such as emotional bonding between mother and child, the source of eggs and sperm, and the long-term psychological effects on children born this way. Dr Zhang’s team is reportedly in discussions with Guangdong Province authorities to address legal and ethical questions before moving ahead.
