res- I don't think it would be a good idea to place incentives, probably financial, for women to get pregnant just to harvest the organs. The potential for abuse is very high.

Interesting, that's the same argument I've seen people make regarding why we shouldn't use human stem cells.

You make it sound like this is the desired offspring of a loving family. Remember that abortion pretty much means that that fetus is not wanted or an expensive abortion would not be the course taken. This is not China and abortion is forced upon women only in pathelogical circumstances (crazy boyfriends etc.)

Killing a perfectly healthy nine month old fetus simply because it's an inconvenient hassle, is not the right answer either.

There is a personal responsibility issue involved here. I would wager that our grandparents often had children they didn't want out of necessity, and then later were overjoyed they did. We have more ways in which to avoid pregnancy today then we can shake a stick at. But, so many of us want an easy quick-fix answer (after the fact), which alleviates our accountability and responsibility.

Should invetro fertilization be outlawed because some of the embryos are certain to be destroyed, not just lost in the process?

No I don't.
