Ectogenesis is an emerging technology that would inter alia conceivably allow
physicians to transfer a fetus from a human womb to an artificial womb-like
environment where gestation continues until it reaches full-term. In recent years,
philosophers have wondered whether thistechnology might provide a directsolution
to the problem of abortion. On one approach, the possibility of ectogenesis shows
that there is no “moral” right to the death of a fetus, since it could be safely
removed from the human womb and gestated in an ex utero environment. But
even if this is true, it still might be the case that societiesshould not implement new
legal restrictions and prohibitions on one’s ability to safely obtain a lethal
termination of their pregnancy.
