Abortion is unnecessary with the implementation of the Embryo Transfer and Adoption Center (ETAC). The embryo from a woman intending to end her pregnancy is transferred to a woman seeking an adopted child, or her surrogate. Surrogates and adoptive parents are pre-screened and entered in a common database, shared by all ETACs. Counseling is an essential part of the process. An intended outcome would include the embryo donor agreeing to serve as the surrogate for the adoptive parent, making embryo transfer unnecessary. The donor may also come to appreciate the recognized value of the embryo to others and to herself and decide to remain the parent, making adoption unnecessary. Where adoption does occur, it is efficient, timely and inexpensive. ProChoice and ProLife interests are served by ETAC and both movements can direct their combined resources to the full utilization and success of ETACs.
