Why Not Artificial Wombs?

This article talks about past experiments in using the wombs of animals for other species. Artificial wombs are on the horizon–or should scientists stick to using other organisms' wombs? There is thought that artificial wombs would relieve mothers of the burden of carrying their children. If so, the question of, "what does it mean to be a mother?" pops into place. With artificial wombs, fetus would be developed externally and might become things rather than people.

Should there be artificial wombs? Why or why not? Why would people want to use them?
