It is said possible but practically not prooved. It has never been done completly. Only until a specific state and then it was put into a utero. Especially not with humans as it is against the human rights. But technically it it the same with every mammal. But even it has not be done I strongly belief it is possible and when not now, then certainly in a few years.

No, it is not (currently) possible to grow a baby from fertilization to infant completely outside the womb.

In vitro fertilization can produce an embryo. The embryo can continue to divide in a test tube, forming a blastocyst in just under a week. During natural fertilization, the blastocyst is what implants itself into the uterus and begins forming a baby. In a test tube, a blastocyst will die if it is not transferred to a mother within a day or so. Therefore, it is not plausible at this point to grow a baby outside of the womb.

Premature babies can survive outside the mother, but survival rates are less than 50% if the baby is born before 23 weeks. A normal term is 40 weeks. Therefore, over half of the baby's development MUST occur within the women for the baby to survive.

While we may be able to grow a baby from sperm and egg completely outside the mother sometime in the future, it is a long way from happening and don't plan on seeing it in your lifetime.

Its been done with animals before.
But I would feel horrible, for some reason, putting a human child in an incubator.

Premature babies are put in incubators and they grow.
If you mean grown from an egg it would need lots of sunlight and a good compost.

I don't think it has been done yet, but it has been done with animals; I suspect it is only a matter of time for humans.
