I imagine they will figure out ex-utero in a couple of decades. Our understanding of genetics will improve too.

I imagine an underground bunker somewhere growing babies in tiny pods in 1000's. Those babies are in pods until full adult hood and an artificial process is injecting memories and skills into the brains of this pod babies.

Bonus brownie points if there is a pod cluster on an alien space. A billion super humans that land on earth who were all manufactured in transport.

Do they treat humans like we treat cows pigs and chicken?




> A billion super humans that land on earth who were all manufactured in transport.

This is a common concept in space-faring science fiction. It's one of the few 'practical' methods of sending a species with a human life span far out into the universe; with an ark filled with genetic material.

Although most stories have the humans being manufactured in the good ole' fashioned way during transport, a few franchises (warhammer 40k, mobile suit gundam, certain entities in mass effect I think, halo to a certain extent, etc) speak of body-assembly-lines.

(and in the case of Halo or Warhammer40k, yes -- the clones are quite often treated as expendable cattle.)
