Pro-lifers! If fetal transplants became a reality, how many times would you donate your body to gestate them?

Question

Let's suppose that in the future, science developed a reliable and safe method for transplanting a first-trimester fetus from one womb to another.  Most abortions occur in the first trimester, and this development would allow for women who might otherwise choose an abortion to transfer her fetus to someone willing to gestate it for whatever time is remaining.  

Would you put your body where your mouth is and volunteer to take a fetal transplant?  Remember that like any child, you would be fully responsible for its care after birth until it is a legal adult.  How many fetal transplants would you take?

Men!  For the helluvit, let's say that this technology allowed you to carry a fetal transplant as well, to be delivered later by caesarean section.  How many would you take?

I am pro-life, and my answer is "no". The argument here is flawed. The organ donation already occurred. This quest should have been phrased: "Pro-choicers: Would you support a law allowing you to track down people you ve donationed organs to, and take those organs back, all the while ramming a suction tube into the back of their head to suck their brains out just to make extra sure that they die?"

2270 - Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person—among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.

2271 - Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law: You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish: "God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes."

2272 - Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life.
