> it would still be advantageous for authoritarian countries to produce kids in vitro and just assign them forcibly to parents You do realize that while you can create primate clones in vitro, you still need to carry them to term the old-fashioned way? Which, in your scenario, means you can't just drop a "child born in some lab" on a family. It means you forcibly impregnating a woman, have her birth the child and then raise it. This is pretty far removed from "the usual standard" of coercion. I'd call it so absurdly dystopian, imagining it happening somewhere - on any significant scale - without immediate violent revolution seems unthinkable.
