First womb transplant imminent
Eva Ottosson, 56, is donating her uterus to her 25-year-old daughter Sarah who was born without one. If successful, Sarah will carry a fetus in the same womb that once held her. From The Telegraph: The only previous womb transplant took place in Saudi Arabia in 2000 when a 26-year-old woman, who had lost her uterus due to haemorrhage, received a donated womb from a 46-year-old. However the recipient developed problems and the womb had to be removed after 99 days. Since then medical knowledge of the surgical procedure has improved and a team in Gothenburg, Sweden, believe they are at the stage where they can perform a successful transplant... Sara said she was unconcerned about the implications of receiving the womb that she herself was carried in. She said: "I haven't really thought about that. I'm a biology teacher and it's just an organ like any other organ. But my mum did ask me about this. She said "~isn't it weird?' And my answer is no. I'm more worried that my mum is going to have a big operation." "World's first womb transplant planned"...
