Did you see this version? It's at www.theverge.com/2017/4/25/15421734/artificial-womb-fetus-biobag-uterus-lamb-sheep-birth-premie-preterm-infant (Kept getting error msg so truncated the url.). Don't think they gave credit where it is darned well due, however.

I wouldn't go overboard with the credit if I were you. Aldous Huxley was playing with the trope, which has become standard genre furniture, as early as 1932. He was using it for quite different narrative purposes than I was, true. (Exploring some peculiarly British class issues, metaphorically, if I recall from my one reading of, good grief, half a century ago.)
Not to mention fantasy precursors as far back as the Mahabharata, though I'm not sure how to count those.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I must say that the Vorkosigan saga is my favorite work of yours! I have reread the books so many times and the Civil Campaign is definitely the one I always recommend to my friends - it is amazing. I would like to ask whether you plan to write another book for the Vorkosigans or the lovely cousin Vorpatril? (and I really hope so). Thank you!

Hello Lois! I have thoroughly enjoyed the adventures of the Vorkosigans. The last book that I read was Gentkeman Joke and the Red Queen. Will you be going back into that serious or have I missed something? Cheers and thank you for hours of pleasurable reading
