The possibility of ectogenesis{\textemdash}technology that would allow a fetus to develop outside of a gestational mother{\textquoteright}s womb{\textemdash}presents a unique opportunity for moral compromise. Here, I argue those opposed to abortion have a prima facie moral obligation to pursue ectogenesis technology and provide ectogenesis for disconnected fetuses as part of a moral compromise.}, issn = {0306-6800}, URL = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/46/2/93}, eprint = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/46/2/93.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Medical Ethics} }
