That's an important point, and one not addressed in the article. I know I didn't even dare take a nasal decongestant when I was pregnant.
Another point: I suppose that until they "perfect" the womb-transplant process, they'd have a lot of failures. Thus exposing both child and mother to unnecessary risks. An adult can assume risks for sufficiently good reasons ---- but can you impose such risks on a child under these circumstances? As a previous poster asked, why not just a adopt a child?
Anybody want to comment on the ethics here?
With the millions of starving orphans in the world who could use a good home.... I understand the desire to have your own children, but sometimes it doesn't happen. Life ISN'T fair.
