Theoretically it would be possible for this experiment to work, there are many other factors which you haven't covered such as the fact that some animals die if they are not held, touched or have social experience, however, I don't think that's your point so I will disregard it and assume there could be a solution to the previous. Going back to your experiment this could only work theoretically. As in, even if we had everything solved and planned out and were that far ahead technologically it would be impossible to do it because of inherent error, to create a machine out of a human, whose brain fires many 100s of billions of neurons per second, seemingly in a random way, would be very hard. You would have to control every factor that could possibly be controlled, and do a very good job at regulating this environment and have the smartest possible people all working on modeling scenarios in which the child would grow up with the wanted traits, which because of the many variables would probably involve calculations with chaos theory and etc. For chaos theory to work as in, for the predictions to come true the initial variables have to be held within a very strict target value, and since no human will ever be able to actually be so accurate all the time or 100% right the experiment is doomed to fail. To sum it up mankind can't create anything as perfect as what the experiment would seem to create.
I think there have been a lot of movies and books on the subject, vaguely I believe Brave New World dealt in passing with something like this, however, it's a "nice" idea but that is all it will ever be.
Not quite sure if that helped but I gave it a shot.
