“Abortions would in effect become early births, and the destruction of the unborn would cease…. [allowing former pro-choice and pro-life enemies to] embrace in happy harmony.”
Peter Singer and Deanne Wells from Ectogenesis: Artificial Womb Technology and the Future of Human Reproduction |
Read Chapter 11: Abortion Solved?
Third Millennium Incubators = Choice and Life
Whether they arrive in 10, 20 or 50 years, soon women will be able to end an unwanted pregnancy without ending the life growing within her.
The implications for the abortion debate are tremendous. Suddenly, an anchor issue at the root of our nation's divide will lose its sting. In that way, solving abortion can help save America.
Of course, preventing unwanted pregnancies and better supporting pregnant women and mothers are partial solutions. But when the NICU gestation gap closes fully, that's when pro-life and pro-choice can combine and jointly embrace pro-both.
Sound like a win-win worth pursuing? We agree, "we" being Matt, an ethics professor and author in Tennessee, and Kevin, an educator in New York. If you're a leader, journalist, researcher, educator or simply a citizen sick of the status quo, please use the form below to say hello.
In the short term, our goal is to simply connect with solution-oriented allies, and to ensure media outlets are aware that there's an alternative. Then the plan is to petition leaders, donors and investors to fund research. And last, it's to share with the world how honoring both fundamental interests in the traditional debate is far superior to the polarizing impasse.
Even if imperfect, anything with the potential to solve the scourge of the abortion debate is worth pursuing, especially in light of its deleterious effects on civic stability. In that way, solving abortion just might save American democracy.
