Would you use an artificial womb? (I would)

It's one step on the chain to designer humans and clone armies, should we do it maybe will it exist inevitably.
Also men die on the job at a significantly higher rate than women, what I'm getting at is if they had to give birth it's unlikely that this would be farther along. I suppose we could say the top tier is composed of wealthy men and they are inherently self interested thus this research would be pushed along, but my counter example proves the opposite at least in a large body of cases.
