In other words, the intent is to terminate the pregnancy. That does not necessarily mean death of the fetus.

I think you're not properly applying the meaning of the word 'terminate' in this case.

And what are you suggesting happens AFTER, if this happens? Somebody is pregnant, wants an abortion. You say "So how about instead of the abortion, we take the zygote/fetus out of you...grow it in a lab and then......" do what? What are you planning on doing if that fetus then develops to the point where it becomes a real live human being? Give it up for adoption? Have the parents have to take it back? Raise it in the communal lab with all the other intended abortions?

Like...assuming anybody ever agrees to this procedure, WHY are you even doing it?
