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.
What is wrong with adopting?
The maternal DNA comes from the mother’s egg, which comes from her ovary, not from the uterus.
