Also possible.

Actually, since we're genetically engineering anyway, we should be able to combine genetic material from two males or two females (or just clone, of course). And once an artificial womb gets developed you won't need to rent anything, um, living.

In any case, not too many prospects for dating :-/

If we're assuming artificial wombs are widely used, humanity effectively becomes a eusocial species.
