In one of the most thought-provoking sessions at the Cairo International Book Fair 2026, the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Center hosts a discussion and signing for a new book that opens the door to questions about the future of humanity and technology.

📍 Date: Friday, January 23, 2026
🕓 Time: 4–5 PM
📌 Location: Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Center Pavilion

📖 “The Artificial Womb” – a title that raises existential questions

The book titled “The Artificial Womb… A Post-Human Reproduction World” by Emirati thinker Dr. Jamal Sanad Al-Suwaidi is a significant addition to both Arab and global libraries, addressing one of the most controversial medical technologies of our time.

📌 The book is divided into five chapters, starting from defining the artificial womb and its historical evolution to discussing its pros and cons, and finally envisioning a post-reproduction world.

🧬 Why this discussion matters

Because the artificial womb is not merely a medical technology, but a turning point in our understanding of humanity and identity.
It promises medical advances such as:
✔️ infertility treatment
✔️ reduced maternal mortality
✔️ fewer premature births

But it also raises ethical and social challenges such as:
⚠️ lineage confusion
⚠️ gender imbalance
⚠️ human trafficking risks

🎤 Who will participate?

The session will include the author Dr. Jamal Sanad Al-Suwaidi, with discussion led by:

• Saeed Al-Tunaiji, Executive Director of the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Center

• Dr. Osama Abdelraouf, Dean of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence at Menoufia University

It is a rare opportunity for intellectuals and researchers to engage directly with the author’s ideas.

🔍 What else is the center offering at the fair?

The center’s participation extends beyond this session and includes:
📚 “Kalima” translation project publications
📚 “Al-Basa’ir” research and studies series

🌍 A presence that reflects a deep cultural vision

In an era of rapid scientific development, the discussion about artificial wombs becomes more crucial, raising the question:
Are we entering a new era that redefines family and reproduction?
