However, very little effort has been expended on the uterus transplant possibility.

That's because there is no such "possibility". Your statements about "test tube" pregnancies highlight the "ignorance of how a baby grows" that I was speaking of. "Test tube" pregnancies are implanted (usually) in the 3-5 day range. You wouldn't even know a pregnancy existed (let alone where implantation occured) at that point.

By the time you know you've got an ectopic pregnancy, there's no possible way to "move" the baby from where it is implanted.

It HAS happened that doctors have discovered a VERY early ectopic pregnancy while doing another proceedure... and in very rare cases, the baby had been successfully transfered (before the connection between baby and mom is too permanent to re-form in another location). A few lived for a few years after birth.

That's obviously laudable and should continue to be attempted/researched. But you normally discover an ectopic pregnancy LONG after it's too late for this.

"Operations, treatments and medications that have as their direct purpose the cure of a proportionately serious pathological condition of a pregnant woman are permitted when they cannot be safely postponed until the unborn child is viable, even if they will result in the death of the unborn child."

Your raging adamance on this point illustrates a stubborn reluctance to accept the possibility of future transplantation -- YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH THE POSSIBILITY IT MIGHT WORK SOME DAY! THIS WAY YOU CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT KILLING THE BABIES NOW! Before every medical breakthrough there are skeptics -- even well-credentialed ones.

"It HAS happened that doctors have discovered a VERY early ectopic pregnancy while doing another procedure... and in very rare cases, the baby had been successfully transfered (before the connection between baby and mom is too permanent to re-form in another location).

I have rarely encountered an FR poster who so blatantly self-contradicts. YOU ADMIT IT HAS BEEN DONE. Yet I am "ignorant" for suggesting it might be able to be done! And you post in BOLD there is no possibility it can be done. Obviously, with targeted research and development of new techniques, it will become feasible to transplant the baby later.

You don't want that to happen. You're a Pro-Life FRAUD.
