Technical Question: What about moving an ectopic pregnancy into the uterus?

[MHGinTN]

"What about moving an ectopic pregnancy into the uterus?" In most cases, by the time the pregnancy is discovered to be 'out of the uterus', the implantation process cannot be 'started up' again in order to move the child tot he uterine protection. Scientists are working on 'artificial' wombs and uterine tissue matrices, but it's not there yet. As you may recall from by manuscript, a woman gave birth recently to a child that implanted in her liver tissue! The child and mother are doing fine. A tubal pregnancy is almost always life threatening for the mother, but there are other vascular rich locations that can support a little one, as the 'liver child' proved.

I don't think there's been much success in relocating the ectopic - because he or she is already implanted in the tube wall. After a search for a case of relocation of an ectopic pregnancy, I can only find a couple of poorly documented reports and one report that was found to be a lie and resulted in discipline for the doctors involved.

Maybe, someday things will be different, but for now it's reasonable to assume that the mother's life is in immediate danger and the child is going to die, no matter what.
