Sorry for being so detached from the discussion and your actual point but if someone had made a dystopian sci-fi novel with the tagline following your sentence with "...or can they?", and made it all cheesy, I'd read it in one sitting.
Brave New World (and probably many other sci-fi) basically skips this problem entirely by having babies be mass-produced in bottles.
You mean each women all producing parts of the baby one then one women/machine putting all the parts together?
You want to read a novel about ten women making cheese in one month?
