Organ transplants require strong anti-rejection drugs. Doctors don't recommend even taking OTC pain relievers when you're pregnant because fo risk to the baby. What do they think these anti-rejection drugs are going to do?
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?
