Lab-grown babies could be a reality as soon as 2028

Japanese scientists have claimed they’re on the cusp of growing human babies in the lab, by incubating eggs and sperm in an artificial womb.
Indeed, tykes from concentrate could be available to mothers in as little as five years, according to Professor Katsuhiko Hayashi, a stem cell biology expert at Kyushu University, the DailyMail has reported.
His team notably used this synthetic surrogacy method to create baby mice from two daddy rodents — as pre-proof-of-concept of the tech’s implications for same-sex parents.
According to the novel study published in March in the journal Nature, the team transformed male mice’s skin cells into pluripotent stem cells, which have the potential to develop into various types of cells or tissues, like a cellular shapeshifter.
Researchers then grew these cells and treated them with a drug that converted the male rodent stem cells into female cells, thereby producing functional egg cells.
Fertilizing those eggs and implanting this baby blueprint into female mice, meanwhile, resulted in the artificial conception of male mice.
And while only 1% of the embryos — seven out of 630 — grew into live mouse pups, researchers thought the experiment potentially had important implications for human reproduction.

Dr. Hayashi estimated, that it would take around half a decade to replicate egg-like cell production in humans, and 10-20 years of testing to ensure this artificial reproductive method is safe for use in clinics.
One of the concerns is the mutations and errors that may be introduced in a culture dish before using stem cells to make eggs.

Will they have male or female sex organs, or both?

Never a good idea to try to play God

Maybe this guy will solve Japan's plummeting birthrate though, since Japanese people refuse to frick

Can they be aborted to satisfy Molech, and let the real babies live? Perhaps we found a loophole.

Hopefully both so we can tell them to go frick themselves.

You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube.

You’re a Cajun Alabama/Navy fan living in Texas? Is that the deal?

In a world full of unwanted and unloved kids, I have to ask “who thought creating more kids artificially was a good idea?”

That baw needs to listen to more WAP.

But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'
And they're farmin' babies, while slaves are workin'
The blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'
But I'm goin' hungry, yeah

Cajun is my brand of bass boat, I am a fan of Alabama along with the US Navy while living in Texas.

I am not sure at all how the proposed business model of this company passes ethical hurdles. Humanity has tended to look unfavorably (rightfully so) on gene editing in humans and taken efforts to make it illegal.
