I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
It looks like a useful medical advance although this is not artificial babies.
Who cares what the religious right thinks? It isn't even a religious issue.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It would be cool to have one of these in the living room for 9 months. The whole family could watch it grow. It would be like a super cool fish tank.
 
I don't see a moral question here. The thread cited shows a bunch of idiots arguing that if it's artificial it's not god's way and therefore wrong. I wonder if they feel that way about oxygen tents, vaccines, and antibiotics, not to mention surgery of any kind.
But, I wouldn't want to have one of the first few test babies unless I was infertile. It doesn't seem to take much in the way of drug use or odd eating patterns to mess up a fetus. And it's not just nutrients but also hormones that arrive through the placenta. I suspect there will be early problems. Besides, I actually enjoyed being pregnant.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

The Christards pointed out the difference between fighting off illness (that was caused by sin) and undermining god's natural processes.

From that line of reasoning, would that not make a majority of the threads on this forum "non-starters"?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
