World’s first woman with uterus transplant gets pregnant

#1  Postby aliihsanasl » Apr 14, 2013 8:33 am

Derya Sert, who received the world’s first-ever uterus transplant from a deceased woman Aug. 8, 2011, at Akdeniz University in the Mediterranean province of Antalya, is pregnant with her first child, her doctors announced April 12.

An embryo was successfully transferred to Sert’s uterus following the transplant, and the transfer succeeded, making Sert the first woman ever to be impregnated through such a method.

Isn't science wonderful?

Science is.

Though, I keep coming around to the thought that there are easier, cheaper, and probably more socially beneficial ways to get a child to raise. Adoption?

This solution seems Rube Goldberg-ish to me.

True. Still nice to know it's possible.
