Lab birth

Lab birth is the practice of artificially growing human babies in a lab instead of via natural pregnancy. The first lab birth was performed in 2098 in Frankfurt, Germany on Earth, but was not widely popularized beyond families with serious genetic conditions until the early 2100s (around C.Y. 0.) Lab birth was initially an incredibly expensive process, often totaling upwards of $100,000 USD, but has become significantly cheaper. The average cost of lab birth today is approximately $25,000 USD on Earth, and is significantly more expensive on Cyprus (approximately $15,000 TD or $50,000 USD.)
