I just read about this happening, and it seems like the stuff from our old Sci-Fi movies , with humans being grown in labs, and now it is actually here (or will be coming soon).
Basically, they say that they can re-create the same enviroment of a womb and develop a fetus all the way to live birth. The information said that it is for places where the birth rate has dropped and they need to increase the population; but it looks to me like they could just grow humans at will, with none of the actual life we expect as a human.

Another thing, is that we are also being told that the world is over populated, so why would we need to create even more babies ? Thoughts about this whole thing ?
(Here is a short video that explains how it works.)

 

I watched this video last night and found it very disturbing - it gave me nightmares.

The idea that it could be a solution for couples that can't have children and a way to prevent birth defects sounds good - but the idea that those that select the 'Elite Package' can genetically engineer a baby made me wonder if this would produce a population of masters and servants.
 
That was my thought, too. If we have places with too many people, and places with not enough, then send the babies where they can be raised in a good family.
I can see that trying to move adults from one culture into a completely different one does not work well, but there is no reason that little children and babies could not be adopted into those countries that need more people.
The only thing I see that might affect that is whether the adopting countries were okay with it. Japan is one of the countries who have a need for more people, but they might be culture-locked to where they would only want a baby of Japanese descent.
 
I don't like the idea, but it probably coming anyway... I can't see every country in the world outlawing it, so I am pretty sure it will happen, one day. We just need to be thinking about the consequences.

It is just a concept at this point, not a reality, but I believe the reality will be possible in the near future. No matter what we think of it...

Why would we need to create more babies? Ask Japan, Korea, or Italy. Ironically more brains equals fewer babies. For a population to grow its fertility rate (births per woman) must be in the neighborhood of 2.1+ . Take a look…

My first reaction to this was that the possible intent, using the creation of 'super humans' as a pretext, was to incorporate some form of brain/mind control. But then I'm suspicious/cynical/skeptical.

Ashkenazi Jews as a group are the most intelligent element in humanity and also the recipients of Nobel Prizes far greater than their numbers would indicate, but they are also plagued with Cystic Fibrosis, Tay Sachs, and Gaucher disease. If a highly intelligent humanity free of genetic disease can be produced, sounds good to me. As for ”control” I suspect that the intelligent would be less receptive to control than the not so bright. Perhaps those lab grown babies could be the next step in human evolution?
 
This subject was also broached on a different forum I visit. I'll paste my reply here:

Another example of life imitating art. This will only make sense to Star Trek lovers: Ectolife may well be a precursor to the maturation chambers on a Borg ship where a Borg baby was found on star date 2376.
Yes, this is very scary. The future is upon us.

So you're going to create 30,000 babies a year, who is going to car for them, feed them, cloth them, educate them, etc.,?
We are going to create all these new expensive people, because of our falling population, but we won't let free refugees across our borders?
I think this technology may help childless couple have kids. But I doubt the cost of this technology vs, natural gestation will keep it extremely rare.
