Post Humanity: Unlimited Supply of Humans in Labs.

Scientists will soon be able to create an unlimited supply of humans in the lab.  We already know stem cells can differentiate into any cell, potentially replacing neurons, islet cells, kidney cells and more. However, now, lab-grown egg cells could revolutionize fertility - and even banish menopause. That's right. The The first human egg cells that have been grown entirely in the laboratory from stem cells could be fertilized later this year.

The first human eggs grown from human stem cells could be fertilized with human sperm cells later this year, potentially adding one more peg in the ladder toward reproduction sans human interaction. In this case it would entirely bypass a woman's donation of her eggs. But it could also turn stem cells into an infinite loop, of egg cells into embryos into stem cells, and on and on, in a fractal-like repetition of reproduction.
So, that means they are going to create a human being, right? Okay, for some, a zygote, or embryo. What will they do with this "being" after they create it? Well, I believe the plan is to either freeze it or destroy it. And for what? Menopause is part of the natural cycle. Women cannot have children after a certain age, and for good reason.
