Don't remember what book it was - but one of the sourcebooks mentions that
growing a human isn't possible with the level of tech availible. They mention
that they can grow the body but it won't have the spark of life.

I'll try and find the ref - I though it was in Shadowtech, but I couldn't find
it. That leaves - Cybertechnologies, Tir Tairngire (lost of loose bits of
info) and a few other books.
