5. You're assuming that in all cases |

the woman would eventually want the baby, and that's not very often true. I suppose you could make the case for making the fetuses available to otherwise infertile couples, but there will still be many more fetuses available than infertile couples or those willing to "adopt".
The core of the problem is that sometimes women get pregnant when they don't want to be. And it doesn't matter at all why she doesn't want the baby. Failed birth control, rape, carelessness, whatever. In the end it's an accidental embryo, as one women expressed it to me, and only she and her physician, and maybe the father, should be involved in the decision.
