Abstract

The serious concerns associated with abortion may have a technological solution. Artificial wombs, it is argued, offer a compromise to disburden woman of the bondage of pregnancy and to ensure the child’s survival. This essay argues against using artificial wombs to solve the abortion problem because using artificial wombs violates the principle of human embodiment. Artificial wombs cannot participate in the intimacy of human embodiment and therefore deprive the children of the intimacy of their embodiment.
