But clinically, I don't think it is possible to transfer a fetus from a living mother and transplant it into the womb of a another lady. The fetus is not an object which you can take out of one container and put in another container for safekeeping!!!From what i understand, the womb has to be ready to accept a fetus - the placenta the placental cord that nourishes the baby. I mean it is not biologically possible for you to just transfer a baby - it is not a self-contained container. The baby is linked to the mother's blood.A surrogate pregnancy occurs when you fertilise the egg of the mother and father outside the womb, ie., test-tube, and then transfer the fertiliised egg into the surrogate mother's womb and then everyone prays that the fetus will attach itself to the mother's womb!!Is there a doctor out there to clarify this point?!!!!
