But did it sink in? And I believe, as I think Spike and many of you might,
that artificial wombs or other devices might available in the near future to
carry them [the fetuses] to term.
Also, I don't think the plan would result in many more fetuses being frozen
than are aborted. Might not Pro-Lifers who don't think cryonics kooky be
likely to see this as saving those fetuses? And not merely stockpiling
them?
Toodles!
