Lab Develops Artificial Womb
Meowharishi writes: "According to this article at the Observer, scientists from Cornell University have successfully developed the first artificial womb. Embroys successfully attached themselves to the walls of these wombs and began to grow but were terminated to comply with regulations. Developments like this really offer tremendous opportunities for creating a family for those who cannot have children the old fashioned way."
...is thinking of the "Baby Harvesting" scene in the The Matrix right about now??
a step closer to having male pregnancy,,another Arnold movie predicts real life =p
I can see the Sci-fi scenarios now: Saddam Hussein breeding an army of clones to conquer the world.
Talk about Pinky and the Brain.

How do you know that the deaf, dumb or blind aren't better physically suited to the environment of the future, but have simply evolved early?
I can think of advantages to all 3. Having a hard time coming up for a reason for ugly though.

Or for creating an army of genetically enhanced flying monkeys. Fly my pretties, fly! Hahahahahaha!
If they were to combine such technology with a Realdoll!
She doesn't cook, she doesn't clean, but she will bear your children!
"Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives" should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
Ah.. that can be fixed with great ease, you know ? It wouldn't be hard to produce stimulation tapes. Play them 16 hours a day. Have them developed by "experts"
With some luck, the produced babies will be even more intelligent than "normal" babies.
And then, you could have "special" tapes which would help the baby develop certain reactions. Such as agression. That would be useful if you were trying to develop killer ninja babies.
Grow them in vats, and create a lot of automatons that will teach them to fight, as well as other required lifeskills. Such as learning a 'newspeak' type language which will form their view of the world.. And enable you to cheaply produce an army of drone-babies ! In only about 18 years after they're born !
