What seems like an obvious solution may never be feasible.

Well, if you'll note the timeline I put on it, I am not saying tomorrow, next week, or even next decade.

But if physicians are given the option to abort as an ethically acceptable option (vice a horrible, but unavoidable side-effect), they will never have the motivation to even try.

Physicians are typically an arrogant lot (particularly surgeons). That, combined with a utilitarian outlook on life (such as the one we have where abortion and euthanasia are fully acceptable alternatives), makes for the possibility for some really crummy ethical outcomes.

I didn’t put a timeline on it, Mark. I’m simply pointing out the dangerous obstacles that would have to be overcome to make it successful. It may be something that we, as humans, will have to accept as an unfortunately reality. As much as we’d like to try to fix things that go wrong, that’s not always possible now or later.
