- The technology required to design such an incubator has been around for some
- time now; I'm surprised that it isn't under development as at least an
- emergency care system for extremely premature kids.
-
- It would have enormous implications for fathers; without the woman feeding
- it, she couldn't claim exclusive ownership, the right to abort it, etc.. I'd
- be willing to bet that the NOW would begin an intensive campaign to limit
- the use of an incubator to miscarriages, etc.; special privilege dies hard.
