An artificial womb has been successfully used to incubate healthy baby lambs for a period of one week, and researchers hope the technology will one day be able to do the same for extremely premature babies, as published this week in The American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. : science

Artificial wombs will replace abortion. (maybe)

At least it can help mothers that needs to chose between life or abortion... a 3rd path option is good.

Abortion is carried out normally because the woman doesn't want the child, not because she doesn't want to go through the pregnancy. This might be helpful in some cases but I don't see it being a replacement for abortion

She wouldn't be given the child.

And woman being able to control their bodies is a huge part of pro-choice.

Interesting. But it would never replace abortion completely. There are conditions which can be diagnosed before birth where quality of life is either none or survival is mimimal. Abortion will still be the way to go in such cases

Well that end result is very similar to giving birth and then giving up the baby for adoption. Although I guess this is probably much easier for the woman to do.

Yeah I think both options should be available.

Not to mention the world is and will be dealing with food problems. We shouldn't just let everyone produce without being able to abort if something comes up. Sometimes abortion is the humane thing to do

Definitely agree. Abortion has a lot of uses, and often it simply comes to of the woman didn't want to get pregnant and isn't ready for it, then fine she should get an abortion.

It is a decent way to control population growth
