If we had the technology for it, would you be in support of a method to remove embryos and fetuses from the womb and freeze them for later when someone wants to be pregnant? Think of something not unlike an IVF treatment but in reverse. No one would have to die and the person who didn’t want to be pregnant no longer has to carry such a heavy burden.

Of course I would be in favor of this. I would also be in favor of artificial wombs. But laws must be put into place to protect the human beings who would be frozen under this technology.
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) currently freezes non-selected human embryos, but they are not protected by the law and are eventually killed by simple disposal as medical waste or through medical experimentation. This is wrong and ends an already created unique human being’s life. This is no different than abortion and is just as immoral.
