Host motherhood — the transplantation of a fetus to a womb other than that of its biological mother — is a subject that has begun to receive considerable attention during the past few years. As techniques for performing such transplants become available, they may be expected to have significant social and economic impact. An unwilling mother will no longer be faced with a choice between aborting the fetus or carrying it to term, if a willing host mother can be found. Adoption of an unborn child will become possible, and an adopting mother will be able to give birth to her adopted child. On the economic side, interspecies host motherhood can provide a means of temporarily storing valuable animal fetuses, using host mothers of a species which is easier to care for and transport.
