Any idea how it would interface with the placenta? Normal mammals use umbilical cords.

  Maybe a cannula would be attached at a certain point? I think the real difficulty would be producing nutrients and mixing them into the blood. I am clearly a nonexpert. I brought this up thinking about the broader "chicken and egg" ethics & scaling problem of tissue growth. Currently the biotissue alternative meats are dependent on fetal bovine serum to get started. A vegan might object to these meats. I don't personally support these methods, and am just spitballing ideas on the tech side of the aforementioned problem.
