How could 3D Bioprinting and Synthetic Biology be used in the future for reproduction?
I think it will be possible in the far future to take a single person`s cells, genetically enhance and change them using genetic engineering and synthetic biology using new genes, and put it in a 3d bioprinter in order to create a new person.
3D bioprinting could create a fully grown person instead of an artificial womb, which would grow a fetus and the person would be born as a baby like typical humans. With a bioprinter, the new person could be born as an adult. I think if this technology became possible many people would opt to create fully grown offspring because it would be much cheaper than to raise a baby until adulthood.
