"Experts" say MTF womb transplants only a few years away?

No way can it work without a shit ton of artificial hormones.

Which can’t be ethical for a baby.

Im an organ donor, but I’m gonna change mine to not donate my uterus

Anything we can do, men can do better. Right?!

I’ve also removed myself from the organ donation list because of this.

This plan for men to harvest body parts from women seems to forget about the entire biology women have outside of that one small body part, which is also required for a healthy child to come to term.

This research being permitted anywhere in the world is the reason I have removed myself & my child from the organ donor list.
I am not the only woman who isn't willing to be used in such immoral research.

People will die for lack of organs just so some transpeople can talk about the potential to have their fantasies validated (except they can't, because a womb isn't a tupperware box you can move from one shelf (body) to the next, it requires the rest of a womans body to do it's job).

Grotesque

I've just seen that two posters linked to it on the first page.

Yes, it is distressing. Evil and completely unnecessary.

yes. It was very distressing to read. I think it involved killing one female rat first and then attaching a second to the male.

And people celebrated it as some kind of sick success.

I like your thinking!

But then it seems a lot of transmen want to keep their non-manly bits so they can have a baby for themselves anyway...

Right enough, isn't there stats showing that organ donation works better between the same sex. That fascinated me. At a chromeosome level the body knows what's alien. No way could a male body successfully gestate a baby.
The whole concept is utterly repulsive

"Bollocks" say "Other Experts".

Perhaps they think transmen will "donate" them? Be happy to get rid...along with their breasts.

A last grand gesture to 'be kind' before they magically become men!

There are enough issues with organ transplantation. How on earth is the male body supposed to adapt to an organ it shouldn’t have? So many lives are going to be put at great risk.
Also, where are they going to get the wombs from? It’s been assumed already that bio women will be happy to just to donate- again no thoughts towards women in this at all. I’m assuming that most women who have hysterectomies don’t do it for fun, they do it because the have an issue with their wombs, etc. Presumably they’d need a healthy, young ish womb to work with to achieve the best outcome…and where are all these wombs going to come from? Will there be political campaigns from Mermaids encouraging young women to ‘donate’? I imagine so.

I know there’s been some positive outcomes with organs being grown from stem cells. Until they can grow wombs in jars this is going to make me feel incredibly under threat as a bio woman.

Presumably it would need testing on animals first

Does anyone remember that repulsive experiment they did to get a male rat (or maybe it was a mouse) pregnant...they had to stitch the male and a female together at the belly 🤮

It came up on a previous uterus implant thread.

There have been successful transplants between women, but if I remember right, the uterus is removed almost immediately after birth. (Feel free to correct me if anyone knows more in depth about that, of course.)

The ethics of that situation aside, this is absolutely ridiculous. Women get hounded for all sorts of behavior when pregnant, right down to taking life-saving medication for their own health, never mind the mortality rates when it comes to maternal deaths (thinking specifically here in the USA). The medication to keep this going, the hormones used in HRT, suddenly there’s no concern about the effects on the fetus. Why is this a priority, when women’s health lags in terms of scientific endeavor and study?

Absolutely blows my mind when there are far more pressing issues in medical innovation, not treating body parts like plug in installations.

The ethics committees will all be infiltrated by TRAs like everything else has.
The bullying is working and sensible people are staying quiet.
I'm not on the organ donor register any more. Really sad but true.

sorry crosspost!

Well quite. Massive amounts of anti-rejection drugs and presumably hormones and goodness know what else? Fine. A glass of wine? You're a monster.

But yes, this is actually about moving the Overton window.

This article demonstrates the current position of science in regard to male pregnancy:

Looks like more than a few years off to me.

When they did experiments in mice they had to stitch a whole, live, pregnant female mouse to the male in order for him to parasitically use her hormonal environment to sustain his pregnancy. Amazingly, they did get viable foetuses that were able to develop right through to adulthood.

We need to remember that for men, the penis type, the proposed procedure is an implant. An important distinction; this ties in with nauticant's post upthread.

Where would they get the uteri from? Will they be artificial ones or plucked straight from a still-warm dead adult human female body?

Exactly why I opted out of organ donation a while back when I read of such a sickening plan.

I think so, but afaik it's only a limited term transplant.
