Well there's the answer to the projected population downturn and resultant labour force shortages. We're pointed ever more towards total coportocracy and I don't see that slowing down any time soon. Expect this tech to be abused accordingly.
Shit, you'd probably find a bunch of business areas where they'd be welcomed now. Can't get cheap immigrant workers out in the fields any more? No worries, here's a pack of vat grown humans with no rights. Work 'em 'til they fall over and replace with a fresh batch.
