I question how this will impact the mother and child bond. It is one thing to grow a baby inside of you and all that comes with that and watching your kid grow in a fish tank.
Then there is how "birth" affects the child. Will it be similar to C-section vs vaginal?
All the same, this is the start of some potentially concerning abilities for bad actors to leverage.
My assumption will be children born into true slavery with this tech, even though it could do much good.
That is the dark possibility. They could come up with all sorts of insane means to justify company owned humans to abuse. Imagine being grown in a vat just to work a job and having no idea of anything else.
The upside is that robots will be a lot more viable and cheaper a workforce than vat babies, so it is unlikely to happen outside of some dystopian colony on another world.
