It was author George Berhard Shaw who said
that  "Animals are my friend.. and I don't eat my friends."

It seems that intelligence is not the problem as much as basic human
decency,
respect, acceptance, and kindess.

Devotion--spiritual love, is humanity's greatest asset.

 "Spiritual or intuitional development is possible through the happy
blending of civilization and science."

Civilization--the happy blending of culture and material
development--represents what you call basic human decency.
Today, science has surpassed our civilization, hence we
often do not use science in the service of humans, animals
and plants. So, the shadow side of increased scientific
development (ie. in a society such as ours where science
has surpassed civilization) is that capitalist profiteers--
whose hearts are without respect, acceptance and kindness--
may use science in a way that is detrimental for the
spiritual upliftment of all planetary beings. That's why
PROUT  emphasizes the devlopment of a human civilization in
which humanity can express and cultivate all its highest
and sweetest aspirations. To enable such a society to grow,
P R Sarkar advanced PROUT, the social philosophy
with its emphasis on cooperation, decentralization, self-
sufficiency, ecology, and so on.

Most important is a concept he calls prama--dynamic equilibrium or
dynamic homeostasis, a concept which would enable all
scientific developments to create minimum sideeffects and
be in harmony with the environment as it's a principle
deeply embedded in the procreation and evolution of the
universe itself.

So, will humans be totally self contained
units that would be
produced chemically into someones's image?

It is of course too early to predict exactly how this
future procreation will take place, but when P R Sarkar says that
"So many things now done directly by the Supreme
Conciousness may be done in the future through the medium
of individual human beings" I assume it to mean that we
will find ways to become intermediaries and procreate by
combining the various elements of creation, but not that we
necessarily will become "selfcontained units." To do this
harmoniously, our hearts will have to be much much bigger
than our heads! :-)

He is not, as some spiritualists, saying
that we should return to some past eden when everything was
simple and harmonious, because life has always, in essence,
been a path of struggle to become more whole. So He
acknowledges that human evolution is a continous creative
force that will go on forever.  As change is the only
constant in this universe, so we will manifest our
creativity (including procreation) in many new ways in the
future.

Is human sexual union considered wrong?

As you know, Tantra in the West is mistakenly  known as
solely the Yoga of Sex. But as Vimala MacClure wrote in her book A Woman's
Guide to
Tantra Yoga, Tantra is the "yoga of everything," including
sex. For us, sexual union is a natural way for a couple to
express their love. .

Am i to assume that we will loose energy with the
production of humanly produced children BUT can use this
extra not utilized
'energy' to produce offspring of art and the like?

Sounds like a good assumption.

Will the future lab produced humans be all female,
male or androgynous?

Again, I'm just speculating, but I would assume that there
will still be both males and females as we represent, in
physical form, the expression of the Cosmic principles of
Shiva and Shakti.

"The main characteristic of PROUT-based socioeconomic movements is that they
aim to guarantee the comprehensive, multifarious liberation of humanity."
