...why not (eventually) a human life in an animal?

That's an interesting idea. If it's OK to hire humans as surrogates, why couldn't we create an animal to do the job? Especially if an animal with a wider pelvis (e.g. a small cow) were used, it could eventually be made safer than regular human pregnancy.

I think your worries could more profitably be directed to the industrial farming complex as it exists right now.

Are you suggesting humanity will create real life furries?

I guess it's the sort of thing you can count on someone doing the moment it's possible...

It would be amazing to generate entirely new organs that don’t exist, to give humans capabilities they never had. I’m all for it.

Building hardware is the easy part. Making it play nice with the firmware (and, um, writing the firmware) is the hard part - we haven't been able to do that well with silicon, so far.
