Me too. I’m sure the patient was old how risky this would be. Good thing they reacted quickly and took it out. With transplants, sometimes they take, other times they continue to be rejected by the body’s immune system. I recall when heart transplants were becoming more common. Back in the 60’s. It took decades of actual empirical experience before the procedure became more predictable and thus safer to attempt.
I think even after uterus transplants have become safer and more routine, there will be unpredictable consequences. The baby born in such a transplanted uterus may have a mixture of DNA from the uterus donor and the birth mother, along, of course with any DNA of the father.
Does this speculation make sense to those of you trained in medicine? As you may have guessed, I am not trained in such procedures at all.
So sad for the poor girl :-(
It would be horrible to long for a baby and be physically unable to have one....
I hope they perfect the uterus transplantation...perhaps someday they can create a uterus from a woman’s own tissue using 3D printing techniques :-)
My guess is so they can put it into a man.
Hopefully whatever nation succeeds the USA will ban all forms of such transplants from receiving any kind of public funds.
If your body is unable to carry a baby there is at least one if not more Very Good Reasons that you should not be having one yourself. Get over your obsession with passing on your not-so-special genes, quit wasting the shipload of money and thousands of man-hours by the medical specialists which could have been used for something far more useful, and go adopt one of the thousands of children left without a family.
