I don't consider children to be adults, though. The awfulness of what we do to young adults is awful in large part precisely because they aren't children.

There is the issue of informed consent here too, but no one gets asked if they want to be born, so *shrug* I guess.

Aiming for longer gestation periods might slow aging in a way that preserves demographic ratios. Seems like low hanging fruit to me.
Assuming you mean artificial wombs here
