For those unfamiliar with the concept, prenatal adoption is the adoption of an embryo that was frozen and abandoned by its mother in the process of in-vitro fertilization. This of course involves transferring the embryo to the womb of the adoptive mother. I had always thought that this was a good idea. It potentially rescues a human person who would otherwise die, and it is a powerful statement against destructive embryonic research. However when I was in a pro-life group in college I found that many Romanists find prenatal adoption to be unethical. I still can't understand why they would say that, but maybe I'm missing something. How should we think about this question of bioethics?
