Playing God doesn't end well. Figuring out a way around the natural order may be possible, but think about what they would be creating. A human with two fathers. Do scientists have the right to take away a child's earliest experiences with its mother? Every other human has that. It's theft or abuse never before possible.
By your own logic,feminist, you should consider how over half of children currently( 59% of all mothers in USA ,who have a kid under age 16, are single mothers. This % is growing fast each year. 93% of all black mothers with kids under 16, are single mothers.)
So does family court have right to take away a father's rights to have 50/50 custody? And yet, law since early 1960s onwards says by default only woman gets 100% custody. Only 9% of dads get joint custody, only when the mother allowed it. 91% of mothers did not allow it. So you femimist hypocrit should be ridiculed for your double standards. Mothers, by your own logic, cause waaaay more damage to kids by taking away fathers from kids forcefully.

I believe, if we are to be staunch supporters that creating life is the paramount achievement in life (which I do believe), then we must not necessarily automatically discredit the creation of more life. Even by unconventional means.
Creating life is not the paramount achievement in life,dumbass. I could create tens of thousands of babies with many women, countless wonen throw their babies ina dumpster after birth or give away to orphanage or abort them . You are either an immoral sociopath/autistic it seems,by that logic, or incredibly limited in mental capacity to not grasp how stupid your statement is. Creating life is not any greatesy achievement, it's a damn biological process simply. However raising a kid properly..is where a majority of parents always fail. Raising a great independent thinker and well-adapted human who can give society and other humans usefulness,that is indeed a great achievement. Creating life in and of itself means very little,and can often be a bad decision even.( Mao's mom,Stalin's mom, Mussolini's mom, Zedung's ,Mugabe's moms could have aborted indeed)

This will change how society will question if people were made natural or created in a lab. Dare I say, those created in the lab will be viewed as less human.
No. Because we have had lab created babies for decades,dude. IVF and petri dish babies been born since 1977-78. They are celebrated actually in society as miracle babies at the time,and nowadays as a great story to tell others. Research. Nothing changes here, same organic matter from human cells is used as it always has. These are not synthetics.

Demonic. God created male, female, not this abomination evil crap.
You seem confused truly. This would still be a standard run of the mill male or female born. You seem to not grasp the news. How is this evil? You have no answer,zealot.

Having slept on it, i imagine they will still need an ovulating female for their process to work. Science may be able to start the cellular process, but they haven't developed a system that can replace a placenta.. Entering alien territory here! While IVF programs, and surrogate mothers are 1 thing, it will be something altogether different carrying a product of science to term. I wonder, does the surrogate in this case even need to be human.. Just how far will boundaries be pushed in this dangerous frontier?
No. You failed to understand. An egg is created from a male XY chromosome foubd in the DNA, the skin cell then is used as an incubator of the egg created from said X part of the XY male chromosome. Women are not needed in any capacity at all for having children anymore . That is the breakthrough. Artificial wombs have been in development for many decades, as well. This is nothing new and it has been simply perfected now. Research.

I have failed to understand nothing. I was not speaking conception, I was speaking gestation, cell recombination to created an embryo is 1 thing, the biological intricacies, finesse, and convolution, of a placenta, is far beyond the current science.

Let alone the implications of a LJ embryo reaching term, without inclusion of the vast number of hormonal, antibacterial, and immunological systems that are assumed during the process of gestation.

Again as I said, implant is critical to the process, my question is, will they push the frontier and use an ape, pig, cow.. or do you think they have maybe managed to create a synthetic egg?

If the idea wasn't so abhorrent to me, from a medical, let alone theological position, id be interested.. and more than a little bemused, to see them hatch a child. Alien has now morphed to Mork and Mindy.
I have no words. Mankind is working overtime to devise their evil plans everyday.
There seems to be hard work underway which is directed towards the implicit goal of separating Women and Men completely from each other and artificially creating (at least two) different self-reliant species to take their place. Alas, that is a winning combination of genetic and social engineering - Brave New World at its best!

Children are female born, not male born. The latter is a natural impossibility. What you overlook is that this is an extension of an unnatural change that only denigrates our created humanity. The natural creation of life is a primary work of humanity; the raising of life is an extension of it.

Fully false. The egg can be created fully from the male genetic material, since males have the X part of the XY chromosome. Women only have the X, 2 of them. The X in men allows to create the egg, whilst the Y part is how we produce semen. You ignore proven fact that eggs are now created from male genetics fully. Women no longer need to carry an embryo to term either, it can be done in an external setting. Hence, literally, no womb nor egg needed from the female body at all. Male genetics and male ingeniuty yet agsin has proven progress. No need to be butthurt about the prospect of it, Jess. It is what it is, how is this any of your concern. Pissed that men no longer need women to get children?

"unnatural change" -- get off your high horse. You are using electricity, a smartphone, internet, cars, ovens,fridges, make-up, Tvs, computers, synthetically processed and fertililized food and clothing. Men created all this, you as a woman use it. It is all unnatural"..so stop using it ,hypocrit
You have zero counterarguments. Just empty shaming tactics, yawn.

You're reading a lot into my comment that isn't there. Detaching childbirth from the womb of the mother has a million negative implications with very few payoffs. I don't think giving gay men a chance to have a baby that looks like both of them is a good enough reason to twist nature like this. It's also a very superficial reason. It's likely being framed as a gay rights issue so that the researchers can smooth over the obvious abomination that is the artificial womb.
False. Every human has a drive to want biologic kids, even gays. Every person will prefer it if given a chance. This is more natural rather than not, the progress of technology as a tool to achieve it. You are just scared shi***less, as a woman, seeing that women are obsolete as far as their womb and egg goes. Both can now be gotten from the male body and developed in a lab. There are no downsides to external wombs, stop lying. The plus sides are a more stable risk and stress free environment in fact. Research on it. Your base instinct is in overdrive as a woman. But women now will have to provide something to men worth their time aside from sex( A.I. sexbots ,or hook-up culture even, prostitution,porn etc) , their egg or womb. However women will need some man's sperm if they want to get pregnant. So a woman needs to now flex her muscles on being worth a man's time personality, brains and looks wise. But that isn't men's problem really.

Oh brother. Here we go, drama queens calling progress evil. Salem witch trials all over again

Your psychotic serial killer! You prowl about Brittany's channel daily looking for approval with your narcissistic critiques & opinions. Yet you learn NOTHING from the amazing Brittany. Interesting.
