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.
Wasn't trying to swing your opinion in either direction. It was merely an observation that it's a lot harder to come up with a coherent argument against this research if you also allow women to terminate inconvenient or unwanted pregnancies on a whim.

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

Sure, if it will actually be similar to abortion in the sense of getting embryos... errr, donated.
Are you trying to sell me even more on abortion? No need to, my position on it is already pretty utilitarian.

Cultural appropriation or religious reasons will be their go to.
