I tend to view the procedures that entail artificial fetal development as you describe as subject to the same restrictions and prohibitions as human cloning. Indeed, I have considerable trouble distinguishing between the two philosophically.

So, would you say that your dividing line falls at the point in development where implantation would occur, even if the embryo is being developed without implantation?

If so, I guess this makes a certain amount of sense. At the point of implantation, a large majority of implanted embryos will grow and be born. Something that derails the process at this point is more the exception than the norm.

I don't happen to share this view, as I have explained before. But it does make a certain amount of sense.
