The relgious pro-life side would be just as afraid. Simply developing the technology amounts to human experimentation. Your research specimens are human embryos, and you're going to kill a lot of them. The ones you don't kill might reach stages of life where you're legally unable to terminate them before you realize you've created a kid who's gonna die of cancer at age 6.
Do you think they will ever allow it to be applied to humans?
If the technology is there, and the end result is comparable to natural birth, they will have to tie themselves in knots trying to explain why it can't be allowed. All arguments beyond that will basically boil down to saying females are only fit for breeding and that any other purpose they serve is sub-optimal.
We can probably expect to see this come to fruition within our lifetimes. Only ethics and legal red tape will stop it.
Most of the moral problems are not problems if you don't think abortion is bad.
If a late term abortion is perfectly legal, then what's the argument against experimentation up to that age of gestation? There isn't one. Not one that has any legal logic behind it, anyway.
A society that allows abortion will have a harder time keeping the lid on this.
Our "betters" must be on suicide watch.
Without their biological necessity, even the tradcucks will cease caring.
I've always thought the technology has been slow to develop because abortionists are afraid of the implications.

This is Alpha Centauri shit.
Only difference is the religious pro-life side has no power. The fundies would ban it if they could.
It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks, and become one with all the people.
Do you think they will ever allow it to be applied to humans? They will campaign against it like mad. It will be funny to see them turn religious.

Given the sheer scale of moral problems with just developing this... will it ever be there in public eye?

Cultural appropriation or religious reasons will be their go to.
