We live in a technological world and bio-technology
has become a huge part of
that growing force of human advancement.
In the future, women will have the option
to choose to have their embryo
develop outside the womb
or in an artifical surrogate womb.
Both parents and health care workers can oversee
and monitor the growing process
while providing emotional support, love and
care, touch stimulation
and even sound stimulation from Beethoven
to the sounds of a heartbeat.
Health and nutrition can be monitored 24/7.
Contaminants that parents may encounter before
conception
or during the development process
(such as viruses and disease, emotional or
environmental poisons or trauma)
can be fire walled away from the mother s
natural womb.
Plus any adverse effects to the mother s body
from nine months of a natural pregnancy can
be averted.
Many women find the nine month term of pregnancy
a beautiful and rewarding part of life
and natural childbirth will remain
an option for all healthy women.
Any type of artificial environment will be
repugnant to many,
but like the pill or artificial insemination,
will eventually be accepted by a majority
of future generations.
Should a pregnancy begin and the parent or
parents are not ready for a child,
termination of the pregnancy does not necessarily
mean termination of an embryo s life.
The unborn can develop in an artificial womb
for anticipated parents
(adopted or foster parents or even the reconsidered
birth parents)
or placed in a child development center 
or orphanages.
Future technology may even make it possible
to slow or halt the development
until the parent or parents are ready for
a child.
This too will be unspeakable for many but
accepted by future generations.
In contrast, the future will undoubtedly recall
this term in our history as
the Great Embryonic Holocaust.
For us to survive as caring people, we must
acknowledge both sides to this issue.
There is a need for birth control,
and our courts have formed an opinion that
termination after conception
is within the rights of women.
What we are missing is a living alternative
to abortion.
Once the alternative exists,
old fashion termination by death will not
be acceptable to the general public
nor the courts.
Therefore, we must not take sides and fight
each other,
we must unite and form an alliance to direct,
inspire
and encourage technology to reach the needs
of our hurting society.
