Those lambs still spent a couple months in their mothers. There's presumably a huge gap between being able to finish baking a severely premature baby and a full artificial womb that could take a zygote all the way to birth. I assume they use something similar to dialysis to insert oxygen and nutrients into the blood. For a full artificial womb they would need an artificial endometrium and placenta which might as well be science fiction at this point.
Mm, but they also just came up with a totally artificial mouse embryo, with a brain and heart (presumably normal and working), not sure how far they let that go.
From the point of view of someone born in the 1960s, we're pretty much living in a science-fiction world as it is, so I wouldn't put much past them. We have things we weren't "supposed" to have for another hundred years, ffs.
It's pretty much just a matter of time and more torture of the truly innocent.
And yes, it's very "Brave New World", where the whole point seems to be the eventual "liberation" of sex from the burden of reproduction. And then eugenics for humans will be A-OK, because there's no point in creating retards in the lab.
