This is not only because of financial pressures, but also because of the impact of the fertility process on a woman's body. The case of various birth injuries has forced people to re-examine the risks of childbirth.
It's time to rethink our conception of fertility.

No matter how unique a client's needs are, the staff at the Uterine Center are fully committed to meeting them. At the same time, parents can participate in the pregnancy process through the screen on the egg cabin without worrying about the lack of participation.
An innovative invention for the liberation of women's bodies, which has sparked a global cult following. Rachel, a working woman, has always cherished the dream of becoming a mother. On the daily commuter subway, she is always attracted by the egg compartment in other people's hands, as if it is a new fashion trend.

Rachel's decision upsets her husband, Ivey. As a botanist, he is hostile to high technology. In particular, the use of synthetic materials such as "egg cabins" to conceive their children was even more unacceptable to him.
He knows how harmful pregnancy can be to women, but he also knows that loving someone means respecting her choice. After much deliberation, he decided to support Rachel's decision. Under the professional guidance of the uterine center, the two successfully "got pregnant".

Rachel's mental state has changed dramatically after using the egg cabin, and she holds the tablet in her hand almost all the time, whether it is brushing her teeth, exercising, or going to work.
Even though Rachel has been paying very close attention to the baby's growth, she is still apprehensive about it. Asking the staff about the status of the "egg cabin" has become a daily chord for her.
Every night, she would have nightmares and imagine all sorts of unexpected situations that might happen.

Her husband has more time to spend with the children because he often works from home, and Rachel has to isolate herself from the children to prevent distractions, even when she takes them to work.
These complex emotions intertwine and make her feel guilty from time to time. The pressure is also mounting.
While advances in technology may alleviate the pain of childbirth, improvements in fertility are not guaranteed. Because the complexity of fertility problems far exceeds the impact on women's physiological injuries.
The economic cost of childbearing is prohibitive, and machines seem to be a good solution. However, this is only by appointment"Egg compartment"The deposit is as high as 8,700 US dollars (about 6.)250,000 yuan), even Rachel, a highly respected elite, had to rely on the company to barely afford it.

New Copywriting: The absurd scenes in the movie actually reveal a real reality - childbearing has become a business, and children have become a commodity. This creepy phenomenon, which is emphasized again at the end of the movie, is that their target customers are no longer parents, but children.
Their ultimate goal is to want their children to be able to choose their own parents. Such a reality makes people think deeply.
In this era, procreation is no longer a simple reproduction, but a tool for inheritance. However, we often lose sight of the true meaning of fertility. Childbearing is not just a question of who will give birth and whether it will be painful, and it should not be a moral pressure that women must bear.
Childbearing is just a way of life that we can choose, regardless of the opinions of others, as long as we are satisfied with ourselves, it is enough.
