If a permanent Martian settlement of any scale is to be established and maintained, it’s likely women will need to get pregnant and give birth beyond Mother Earth. NUS Centre for Biomedical Ethics’ Victor Cole looks at the implications.
If humans are to survive as a species, the late cosmologist Stephen Hawking once argued, at some point we will need to make our home among the stars because the Earth will one day be engulfed by the Sun.
More imminent threats to humanity’s survival include nuclear or biological war, runaway artificial intelligence, and climate change.
The colonisation of the Earth’s Moon, followed by Mars, is a current ambition of government agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the China National Space Administration, and private organisations such as SpaceX.

If they go into labor while there, yes.
As opposed to the first abortion in space yes
Does anyone seriously think that “climate change” is a threat to extinguish humanity?
No, because there’s no air in space. They should have the babies in a space station, space ship, or other habitable vessel.
And, why is it anyone’s business? So long as the OBGYN can’t find something wrong with the birth process, butt out. There is no validity to even asking: “Should women give birth off earth.”
“No, because there’s no air in space. They should have the babies in a space station, space ship, or other habitable vessel.”

Do they automatically get U.S. citizenship? Probably.
Just think of the diapers and poo
What a mess when her water breaks.
I spent 45 years in the business and the cost imposed by the risk averse, paper pushers, when contrasted with advances in unmanned space tools, ensures that manned flight will remain cost prohibitive.
This is especially true in a political environment where destroying the American economy is a top priority.
Weightless “conception” could be an interesting time.
There is the possibility that a child gestated in space may never be able to survive on earth.
“The Expanse” explores issues with humans gestated on Mars and in space, the Belters.
More imminent threats to humanity’s survival include nuclear or biological war, runaway artificial intelligence, and climate change caused by a comet strike or a massive volcanic eruption.
Fixed.

No Victor humans should not have babies in space. Moron. I’m not reading your drivel.
This stupid column gives new meaning to the term “airborne” and “airhead”.
Didn’t Roger Moore try that in a James Bond flick?
