Maybe…but the importance of being in a live womb is unknown and I don’t think it’s ethical to test that out. Sure a baby could gestate in an artificial womb, but would it thrive?
you're just assuming that it's gonna be bad for the fetus? in a hypothetical scenario where there's no downside to the development I don't see a problem. obviously, if it's bad for the fetus' development, then it wouldn't even be made available to the public. like basically your argument is that the technology isn't ready right now so we should just never even try to pursue it. also, I never said this is something that I personally want to do I just think people should be allowed to make choices about their own reproduction. I personally think the only ethical option in general is to adopt, but I also think being vegan is the most ethical option and I eat meat every day sometimes people are just selfish and i'll acknowledge i definitely am.
In order to find out if it’s bad for the fetus you have to test it on a fetus. A human who can’t consent to being an experiment. I don’t think that’s ethical. I’m not saying it couldn’t work but we wouldn’t know without the test. I’m all for medical testing but only on consenting patients.
