Artificial wombs are interesting to me for the colonization of space angle. It's an old trope-- the ship full of frozen embryos lumbering across space at a fraction of c-- but the idea is really exciting to me. For all I dislike about humans and human nature I'd love for our species to spread beyond our single solar system.

Life is difficult enough when you are born into this world but at least you usually have one or two parents to care for you along with the company of the rest of human civilization. Being born on an empty world with only an AI or worse a dumb machine as your parent with only your equally orphaned siblings as companions would make fate seem cruel indeed.
