For the first time in history, AnyCompany — the largest pharma in the world — is no longer earning its bottom line from selling drugs. Now, it's flagship product is Momb, the inter-connected artificial womb. Fetuses can now develop under your eyes, not in the mother's uterus, in completely safe conditions.

Developed initially as a solution for premature births, exclusively for hospital use, the technology has gained tremendous popularity among career-oriented parents.

The main features of the Momb are:
- connected to other wombs (supporting Android, iOS, Windows, and ElonM OS)
- connected to your smart-house (Alexa), Google Assistant, or Siri
- the fetus is closely monitored at any moment
- the proprietary system is monitoring more than 250 indicators of development and alerts you, our dispatching center, and your doctor immediately
- fetuses are 7x more protected against viruses, and 10X more against physical harms

Momb now comes in different shapes, colors, and styles, so you can easily integrate them into your living room, or any other room of the house. The Momb's travel accessory has now an autonomy of up to 48 hours, allowing parents even more flexibility when traveling with their future baby.

As the program for future parents is claiming, "these are 9 months that each parent is gaining, by avoiding the traditional pregnancy discomforts. At the same time, the children that come into the world are no longer associated with the hustle and pain of giving birth, or the inconveniences of breastfeeding".

The first large-scale generation of children developed in Momb is already 4 years old. A comprehensive study shows that:
- They have developed the capacity to speak 13% faster than traditionally developed children.
- They have a natural tendency towards using any type of technical devices.
- They tend to be more autonomous from an earlier age, and seek to discover 25% more things compared to traditional children.
- They prefer processed food and have difficulties in digesting un-processed aliments.

Sources say that AnyCompany is already working on the next generation of Womb, which will most probably be a major breakthrough in the birth industry. Womb Alter will provide parents the ability to alter some of the genes in their offsprings, influence (or even choose) attributes like hair or eye color, future child's talents for art, sport or science, tendency to be more active or more sedentary, more introvert or extrovert, and several others.

Apparently many couples have delayed their decision to have a child, waiting for the new Womb version.
