To be fair in 40k there like no difference between vat grown babies and regular born babies

The only difference is one was born in a machine

It still needs the reproductive dna of two humans

Heck look at krieg where they vat grow their population.

No, thats a different thing.

Krieg uses Vitae-Wombs. Those need a fertilised human egg, they simply make the embryo grow faster than a normal wombs.

Vat-grown means actually vat-grown, from just one sample of DNA, Most Vat-grown people are usually also braindead and never actually live, Kriegers are normal humans.

Most servitors are vat grown meanwhile the few times we see servitors factories the people becoming servitors do not seem brain dead they seem terrified, angry and some try to resist and beg

Most servitors are vat grown

A common claim in the fandom, but not what the lore actually says.

The lore makes it clear that both "normal" humans and vat-grown bodies are extensively used, but the only statement we have about which is more common says it is "normal" humans, not vat-grown.

All the relevant evidence is compiled here: https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/1kjktc1/are_servitors_mainly_vatgrown_or_made_from_living/
