Artificial Wombs, IVF & Robot Nannies | Noor Siddiqui on Family in 2050

Noor Siddiqui is building a future free of inherited disease. As Founder & CEO of Orchid, she has developed embryo screening technology that reads 99% of an embryo's DNA - 100 times more information than legacy tools. In this episode of Forecast 2050, Nebular General Partner Finn Murphy sits down with Noor in San Francisco to discuss why embryo screening and artificial wombs may become the default way humans reproduce, what's really driving falling birth rates, the moonshot nobody is funding, and why a generation of young people with world-changing energy has been left with nowhere to put it.Extended Show Notes: https://finnmurphyirl.substack.com/p/sex-is-for-fun-orchid-ivf-is-forTranscript (with links): https://finnmurphyirl.substack.com/p/forecast-2050-transcript-episodeChapters:00:00 Intro00:50 Rolling the Dice No More: The Embryo Screening Revolution05:27 Artificial Wombs Are the Tech Challenge of Our Time07:47 Why Aren't We Having Kids?17:03 The Broken Generational Contract 18:56 Nature Beats Out Nurture21:45 AI & Genetic Technology Could Give Us Superhuman Powers30:54 Noor’s Plan for 205037:10 What We Lose When Old People Run EverythingNoor Siddiqui is the Founder & CEO of Orchid, the world's first whole genome embryo screening company.
