This! Growing babies in some kind of artiicial womb is just all kinds of wrong.

Not really.

It made me quote Huxley.

Definitely think you're thinking of the wrong big government dystopian novel.

I think it's pretty damn cool. As someone who was forced to stop having children naturally I'm always excited when I see these kinds of "progress". I was super excited when I saw the uterus transplants that's been happening (it wouldn't be an ideal, though, as I'd have to go through another hysterectomy). 2030 isn't that far away, I'll be in my early 40's when the prototype comes out, perhaps still even be young enough to utilize the technology.

I have a feeling it would never amount to real gestation. Something along the lines of breastfeeding and formula, where it would be wonderful for somebody who can't carry a child but is definitely worse than letting everything take its natural course.

I guess so... I could have sworn it was 1984 that we read in my Senior English class. That was a long time ago.
