People often talk about declining human demographics, but they rarely consider growing new humans artificially as a means of dealing with it. As nightmarish as it sounds, maybe that day is nearer than we think. Israeli scientists have already grown mammal embryos outside the womb to half their gestation period. If you have cloned embryos of "perfect" humans, perhaps growing them at scale outside the womb is nearer than we think.

I don't see it. Countries don't want the human they want the productive, educated, well adjusted adult and you don't get that through cloning.

That's actually pretty horrifying in many different ways. God help us all.

God won't save you there. We've become God.
