Abstract
Whole body gestational donation offers an alternative means of gestation for prospective parents who wish to have children but cannot, or prefer not to, gestate. It seems plausible that some people would be prepared to consider donating their whole bodies for gestational purposes just as some people donate parts of their bodies for organ donation. We already know that pregnancies can be successfully carried to term in brain-dead women. There is no obvious medical reason why initiating such pregnancies would not be possible. In this paper, I explore the ethics of whole-body gestational donation. I consider a number of potential counter-arguments, including the fact that such donations are not life-saving and that they may reify the female reproductive body. I suggest if we are happy to accept organ donation in general, the issues raised by whole-body gestational donation are differences of degree rather than substantive new concerns. In addition, I identify some intriguing possibilities, including the use of male bodies–perhaps thereby circumventing some potential feminist objections.

She was used to deposit, on the down low, a son of Fidel Castro into the bloodline of Canada’s ruling elite.
The analogy is apt.
The family resemblance is there.
Is that what happened to his eyebrows? 😂😂😂
Fetal containers? Sounds like something out of “Alien”.
It's been going on for decades: Liberals, wokesters, trans-men, democrats,...
The jokes write themselves.
Ethicists usually lobby for pulling the plug on a “brain-dead” woman carrying her own baby. Husband wants to pull the plug, sure! Husband wants to keep her on life support, save the baby, pray for a miracle, NO! That’s treating her as a vehicle and not respecting her dignity. I remember cases from 30 years ago.
Ethicists think skewed to morality. What is usable (spare parts!) and what is novel are the issues that concern them, academic fun and games and published papers.
I cannot see how I could even post anything after your post!
It’s a catastrophe, for Canada, for North America.
This ethicist sounds like a bigot. Why exclude men? Since men can identify as women, after they’re dead, a simple announcement by the attending should suffice, attesting that the surrogate is indeed a woman.
La-hoo, sa-herr!
Yup. They are already working on synthetic wombs, which once feasible will be less expensive and ‘messy’(ethics et al).
It’s always about profit and organs are profitable.
This BS is taking Biotechnology and creating a scary narrative instead of addressing legitimate concerns surrounding the field.

We already have soma and tinglys.Forcing sex on the youth.
Might as well have baby containers.
Fauci’s wife is one of these ‘bioethicists’.
Procreative Stump
A woman's torso, kept alive for the purpose of using the womb as an incubator.
Omg I did!! And its too funny now that I see it.
I think the job of a “bioethicist” is to devise excuses for doing things which are obviously reprehensible.
