I don't believe so. Just like many anti-abortionists believe that a person begins at conception, I believe a person begins at birth.

I think I would be opposed to artificial gestation (if that is the correct term) when and if that becomes technically feasible. I'd also be against any sort of ability to alter the DNA of a potential baby, maybe with the exception of removing rare genetic disorders. But, once we try to replace the womb and the randomness of birth, I think we're playing with fire.
