Bavarian? Right?
The artificial womb, especially on the scale mentioned in the article, has only one purpose: creating large numbers of genetically modified human beings free from the possibility of contamination by unvetted “free range” DNA.
Once you clean up the human genome and begin introducing “improvements,” you don’t want it to be re-contaminated. Since the environment of the womb and the specific hormones, amounts, and timing all effect the developing child, it is logical that these engineers of superior human beings will want to control every aspect of their environment. Of course, reaching the point of “decanting,” as Huxley put it in “Brave New World,” is just the beginning of the process of raising the human crop to its full productive capacity. Many years of careful nurturing are still needed.
The product of this effort will be a human being - well, at least in the beginning - but he/she/it will also be a copyrighted, manufactured product.
Slavery, anyone?
Even when the chains are forged of gold, they are still chains.
