It’s like these scientists don’t go to the movies....this is a bad sci-fi/horror plot.

How will “natural” humans view the lab-grown humans?

If they can create eggs in the lab...can they design them according to order?

All sorts of scenarios stewing in my brain here.

Dean Koontz Frankenstein 3 book series will stop that stewing in your head and give you a snap shot of what could be.

Eerie!

If you want bad sci-fi plots:
* One of the limits on cloning experiments has been the shortage of human eggs to use. One thousand eggs yielded a Dolly. That many human eggs equals around 100 IVF babies - so the donor eggs go to lots of paying parents instead of lots of failed clones. If you can mass produce human eggs, now you have the raw supply necessary to attempt to clone en masse.
* Now egg donation is no longer limited to a series of surgeries. One prime donor is paid for an ovary slice, and tens of thousands of donor eggs are produced from it for sale. We’ve already seen “sibling super-sets” from popular sperm donors of 50-150. Now you can get the same thing from the maternal side.
* You could see harvesting of ovary tissue upon death and post-death egg creation to create the same issues we’ve had with harvested sperm from dead guys used to create kids.
