and implanted into a male, how many males do you think would be willing to gestate and deliver the result?

(16,858 posts)to have an embryo removed and frozen. It technically wouldn't be an abortion, but it would still end the pregnancy. I'm sure people will come up with some creative solutions to this problem.

(5,186 posts)It might force the issue on fertility clinics, and also give Planned Parenthood an alternative to closing facilities, which do a lot more than just terminate pregnancies for women.

(16,858 posts)They do extremely valuable work for lots of people, women and men as well. Sometimes Planned Parenthood is the only reproductive care that people can get. And they're needed in the red states more than anywhere else. I hope they're able to stay afloat and continue their important work throughout the country.

(10,303 posts)... and the female was incapable of gestating the embryo to term, I'm sure it's possible a male who could gestate to term would.

I suppose a male could deliver via C-section, but there still has to be some sort of internal pouch/organ with the proper fluids for a fertilized embryo to attach and develop an umbilical cord to.

Human males aren't built for gestating embryos. If a uterus could be transplanted... Now it's still cutting edge tech for transplant into cis women... and apparently it's been done. The next hurdle is uterus transplant into trans women. Then cis men from there I suppose.

If childless couples want children, they procure them from a primarily international supply. But that's about to change back to the bad old days.

(9,500 posts)So what about in-vitro fertilization? My understanding of the process is that there may be multiple eggs fertilized during the process. Are doctors or patients going to be held guilty of abortion if not all the fertilized eggs are implanted?
