Interesting thought, but the cast of The View are all too old.
Possible (sick) ping of interest
Axlotl tanks are IN!!
That’s sickening.
Wow. Turns my stomach.
Where is that time machine??!!!!
Why is it that “bioethicists” are invariably the ones who come up with the most grisly and inhuman ideas.
Brave New World
“Bioethicist proposes using brain dead women as surrogates”
For the first time, single women with liberal arts degrees will be doing something useful.
So gross. I actually just shiver shrugged at the grossness.
If this is allowed (legal), the next logical step is use them in brothels for a profit motive. Generally, a womans body is her own, and “NO” means no, but if we’re crossing that boundary then there’s little limit to what they can do.
Ethics aside, the author is overstating the science. Yes, brain dead pregnant women have been kept alive long enough to deliver the fetus. Most of the real life examples are third trimester or were women in comas, not brain dead.
That is not the same as doing IVF and completing an entire 40 weeks in a brain dead woman.
Practically, the demand for the organs of the brain dead will always be far greater than the demand for surrogacy.
Years ago I wrote a story along these lines and it was turned into an episode of Special Victim’s Unit. Sadly, this is what medical ethics has degenerated to.
I don’t know why they wouldn’t just use trans men or women or what ever they call themselves!
Battlestar Galactica 2 had a shocking episode based on this premise back in 2005 or so.
Seems like it would cost a fortune to keep the body and baby alive for 9 months. This has a high cringe factor too.
This is old news! Slightly over fifty-one years ago, on December 25, 1971, in d'Ottawa, Canaduh, a brain dead woman gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, the son was also brain dead.
Anyone who is familiar with Maggie T.'s history and lifestyle will understand my comment.
Whenever I hear the word Bioethicist I want to reach for my crucifix and holy water.
I am guessing that these bioethicists don’t have objections to brain-alive women terminating pregnancies that were conceived naturally.
We live in Bizarro World.
I am so proliferate I disagree with abortion even if it is to save the mothers life. However, this is just as sick and perverted as the pro choice idiots who want babies murdered after birth
A brain dead woman cannot give consent to be a surrogate.
