let's refine the process. That would solve the abortion problem. Any woman who did not want to carry an embryo, or a fetus, would be allowed to mail it to, let's say, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and have them freeze and store the little critter there.
Removing, freezing, thawing and re implanting a fetus would take more then just "refining the process". If you could freeze a fetus you could probably also freeze a small child but most people would not consider freezing junior, even if he could later be thawed safely, to be taking care of your parental responsibilities.
It would probably be simpler to create artificial wombs and transfer the fetus in to one of those but they don't exist either.
So what? Allow the original mother to legally deny parenthood, and legally assign parenthood to some poor smuck down the street. Legal and binding, and an easy solution to a difficult problem.
The original mother is the mother and has the responsibility. The responsibility can only be transferred if someone else willingly takes it on. In any case we can't transfer fetuses, so on several levels your idea is not an "easy solution". |
