I want to ask what others think of this. Ok, we all know that it isn't the baby's fault, but we also know the mother shouldn't have to suffer for what was done to her in the case of rape and such. Shouldn't our government be working on some sort of robot uterus that can hold an unborn baby to term? They can make hearts, why not a uterus? They can create a way of transferring nutrients and whatever the baby needed to grow, couldn't they? Would your religion be against this, if it meant saving unwanted babies lives?

Ummm, yeah, I'm not looking for one. I'm asking about a way to make both sides happy, both pro choicers and pro lifers.

I am sorry but I laughed when I read robot uterus. lol
Still it is an innovative idea---there is probably somebody somewhere that wants funding for this. But how about the blood and everything. The baby learns and feels things even inside the mom--so will we have volunteer visitors talk to the baby in the RoboUtero? And then the question is what do we do with the babies afterwards?

To get funded for such a device, women will have to be the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies and men will have to give up controlling women's bodies. That will be the twelfth of never. In the meantime, what about miscarriages naturally induced, i.e., not vacuumed out or D&Cd? There are the herbal types and this one.
Medical induction. The drug mifepristone combined with misoprostol has been used widely in Europe for early abortions, and is now used routinely in the United States. Mifepristone blocks uterine absorption of the hormone progesterone, causing the uterine lining and any fertilized egg to shed. Combined with misoprostol two days later, which increases contractions of the uterus and helps expel the embryo, this method has fewer health risks than surgical abortion and is effective 95 percent of the time. Researchers in Europe report few serious medical problems associated with this method. Some of the side effects include cramping, abdominal pain, and bleeding like that of a heavy menstrual cycle.
Both pro-choice activists and pro-life activists see mifepristone with misoprostol as an important development in the abortion controversy. If abortion can be induced simply, safely, effectively, and privately, the nature of the controversy surrounding abortion will change dramatically. Clinics that perform abortions are regularly picketed by antiabortion protesters in the United States, making the experience of obtaining a legal abortion difficult for many women. If use of this method spreads in spite of opposition from antiabortion groups, abortion will become an almost invisible, personal, and relatively private act.

I think anything that saved unwanted babies would be good. Killing an innocent baby for any reason is unnacceptable. Where I live, abortions are performed like getting a tooth filled, cheap , easy and a method of birth control. It's sickening.

Do you REALLY think it's a good idea for a government that can't even manage itself properly to have the ability to create freestanding human farms by taking eggs/sperm/embryos out of people's bodies? Be careful what you wish for.

My uncle is working to develope such a thing. He has already created a sack-like object that can be used to grow stemcells...

the question though, is how will one transfers from one uterus to another? the umbilical chord would have to come off, and it would ultimately kill the baby. not to mention that you have to get the blood flow, digestive, and so forth.
so it would be impossible.
maybe some day in the future though :)

You'd be surprised what the grace of God can enable you to do. My wife has a cousin who experienced pregnancy through rape. The child is all grown up now, and suffers no emotional trauma at all. 2 wrongs don't make a right. God can get you through any situation.

According to christians, women don't count anyway, so who cares what they suffer. Meanwhile, the child might be a boy, so abortion is murder.

Building a complicated and expensive medical apparatus is not necessary when wombs are all around us.
After all, necessity is the mother of invention.

I believe they CAN grow a fetus outside the mother's womb.
But I think it's wrong.
