The unborn are trapped in gonads and uteri.

Good Morning Charles,
Well, you last sentence is pretty pessimistic. It just so happens that today I'm sporting a T-shirt that reads "Free as a Bird".

I doubt the unborn or the dead for that matter are free (Martin Luther King's tombstone reads "Free at Last, Free at Last. Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last" so, he clearly refutes that the dead aren't free). However, I remain dubious that I'm not "free to choose" while very much alive. I side with Jean-Paul Sartre who remarked "You are free, choose".

"Free" is a reification wrought by human culture.

I want to ride on the back of a stuffed tiger. Can I do that?

So, Charles, let me get this straight - you're saying the neo-colonialists in India should go and enslave poor tigers and cassowarys to serve indentured servitude in a caged environment for the upper class Brahmins to "experience nature"?

Because, when you get down to it, they're kept in cages.

how do you think american natural history museums get all their taxidermy-ed animals? we do the same.
