Lesson in progress
According to the video, artificial wombs force the issue of defining a moral status for embryos and fetuses that protects them but doesn't prioritize them at all costs. What circumstances can you imagine that would complicate this definition? How would you argue embryos and fetuses should be protected without infringing upon the rights and protections of existing individuals?

Lesson completed
