Yeah you bring up some nice extra questions around the 'prisoner' thing.

First of all, I still prefer Kaneki to become the OEK after all the events that took place. Not because Kaneki is the protagonist or I favor him, but because all the manipulation he has been through had to have a purpose. Furuta & Arima & Kanou & Eto (FAKE). They know the most from the characters that already have made quite some appearances. They had to have had a purpose for Kaneki. Furuta throwing the steal beams, Eto following & observing him like a shadow & occasionally altering his path by a direct or indirect act, Kanou making Kaneki into a OEG & Arima preserving the creation "Kaneki", adding it to CCG's forces.

They all have one thing in common & that's how they're intriguid about how Kaneki will "evolve" or "progress". They observe and follow his progression through the series and encourage him in their own way. Why? What do they want to see? Surely not: Someone who works his way through misery to see him die, when he finally reaches some knowledge about his situation. That would just be cruel & quite useless.

Even among all the OEG creations, Kaneki is still considered closest to 'the perfect creation' yet.

Now about the 'prisoner' thing, because i digressed a lot xD You can see the belly as a prison for a baby, but at the sametime a place that gives nourishment, where you can grow with time. A lab can be seen as something similar, an artificial womb/belly. Or an actual prison, like you said.

The artifical topic is pretty hard for me, since i don't have enough knowledge about it, but I think it's plausible. There was one theory i recently came up with about the ghoul liquid, being used as a "steroid" (be creative with the word, don't know a good english word for it yet) for soldiers like Arima to gain strength multiple times stronger then a normal human, but still retaining your human self. It's either a DNA based dominant/recessive thing, where the recessive ghoul allels strengthen the dominant human allels... Or I can see a massive amount of soldiers being injected with the ghoulliquid, which causes the ghoul enzymes to attack the human body, but some extraordinary people manage to conquer the injected liquid, with the end result being able to perform feats of strength and agility on the level of ghouls themselves...

The most part is still speculation. Ishida has put the groundwork there imo & now we only need to speculate and adjust our speculations, until the pieces fall in place.

My hope is for Kaneki to become the OEK or something like the underdog, which nobody ever expected to rise to such hights. That's my HOPE!!! (don't misunderstand for a fact/speculation/believe).
