The title should be "human eggs 'grown in lab,'" not "human babies 'grown in lab.'"

Hi, I'm the devil....

You can just call me 'Old Nick'. Nope, I didn't come up with the process, and I'm not really a geneticist--well, not since the whole 'Nephilim' thing kinda 'went south' LOL!

But, this kinda thing does give me a smile--I'll make sure those mad doctors get their reward.

You can be your own creator and savior--feel the power.

The lesbians will be so excited. I wonder if health insurance will be forced to pay for this?
