Elroy,

re:No you're not getting it. The main issue is not the cost, it's whether or not its acceptable for a mother who doesn't want a fetus inside her to remove it (and kill it). Cost is totally a secondary issue compared to that.


The ethical issues you raise don't apply to me because I already support abortion.

I'm sure it's preferable to killing the baby, but you can't ignore the issue of cost. Having the mother carry the baby to term and giving it up for adoption is much easier for the state to support than having the baby removed from the mother's womb and grown in an incubator.

Of course, the feminists will vehemently remind us that they don't want the state to force their bodies to become incubators. But don't you see what's being ignored in this whole debate?

It then IYO comes down to letting the potential mother decide between having her embryo being removed to a different womb or being killed, right? With the other womb being a machine or - why not like in my total solution - yet another woman?

And BTW, not that academical at all while within the reach of current medical science.

An interesting option, a question for Amy IMO.
