Remember the song "In the year 2525" ???

"In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long black tube"

This might be a lot sooner than that....

Scientists Breed Mice From Stem Cell Alternative

(Newser Summary) – Scientists in China have created mice using stem cells made from modified skin cells—hinting at an alternative to embryonic stem cells, the Washington Post reports. Separate teams used viruses to manipulate genes that caused mice skin cells to regress back into induced pluripotent stem cells—which, within a placenta sheathing and in the wombs of female mice, developed into baby animals.

The creation of stem cells from differentiated cells sidesteps many of the ethical issues of destroying healthy embryos to harvest stem cells, but raises the specter of “designer babies” and surreptitious cloning. “With just a little piece of your skin, or some blood from the hospital, anyone could have your child, even an ex-girlfriend or neighbor—and there’s nothing you could do about it,” says one researcher.

Quicker than you know. The human genome has been broken. Better get your copy of of Blade Runner.

Someone could create a race of Cylons like on Battlestar Galactica
