The novel Cyteen by C.J. Cherryh depicts more or less this scenario: "normally" raised human colonists (who happen to include a lot of genetics, biology, and psychology experts) need to expand their population quickly, so they create babies in artificial wombs. Womb conditions simulate a particular human pregnancy with sound, movement, temperature, hormones, etc. After birth, children are socialized with a combination of brainwashing delivered via sensory "tapes" under hypnotic drugs, and orphanage/boarding school style care, with the front line caregivers themselves being artificial womb products. They are conditioned to be unable to disobey, so are essentially slaves, but are also conditioned to derive deep satisfaction from their work, with each worker genetically and psychologically optimized for a specific field/job. The resulting people are depicted as not "normal" in their psychology and social behavior, but in some ways superior (able to approach problems more rationally and systematically with less emotional involvement, for example). It's an interesting study by an author who clearly recognizes this scenario as slavery and ultimately wrong, but is also willing to explore a variety of both positive and negative implications.
