Baby born from dead donor womb transplant in UK first

Other organs are donated, why not a womb?

I can't have children and wouldn't have used this method to try either, but wouldn't judge anyone who did.

My womb is effectively useless but if it wasn't, I wouldn't twice about it.

When you're dead you don't need body- why not let someone else use them?

As a cure for the falling birthrate one day we will have the science to enable babies to be born and nurtured in a lab. This will enable non-fertile women to have children. It will spare those who wish it the pain and horror of childbirth. Individual women will no longer have to incapacitate themselves and go about like a beached whale for nine months more children might be born. A couple will deposit their seed at the birthing center and go back 9 months later to collect their child. Just like picking up the shopping from Asda.

fascinating, why would you care? Would you feel the same if your mother had received a blood transfusion while pregnant with you? how about a new kidney?

From the article:

• "Did the NHS pay for the womb transplant?

The operations are only carried out at times when the NHS is not using an operating theatre, so they do not impact NHS waiting lists.

Surgeons and medical staff involved in the transplant have not been paid for their time."

Are waiting lists affected mostly by theatre time, or ward availability?

Well is it any different from taking an Organ from someone who's passed away....
I'm not sure it is really

At least, with that diagnosis, she will have had her own ovaries.

I think it's horrible. Nobody ever seems to think how the child will feel about it. I'd hate to discover I had Frankenstein-esque origins like this, just awful.
