Anyone Got A Spare Womb ?
11 Answers
http://
This idea raises several million questions, none of which seems to have an answer. Such as - where are all these wombs going to come from ? Which NHS treatments will have to be abandoned in order to pay for ex-men or even gay or straight men to have such an operation ? How on earth are such "mothers" going to produce the pregnancy hormones needed to result in the normal development of a foetus ? Should men who want to be mothers take precedence over unfortunate women born without wombs ? How do you explain to a child that a person is both its Mother And its Father ? And, finally, does anyone's mind Not boggle at the whole idea ?

There's rather more history to Uterine Transplantation than I first thought.

Of course this latest idea is bound to be controversial on many levels.

Actually, Eddie, I know personally an ex-chap who "changed" after the age of 60 and got a woman's pension. But to be serious, I really don't think that a male-born person would have a blood supply which could be attached to a donated womb. Are there any medics out there who can confirm or deny this ?
Some of what it may involve in this article, for that reason alone I think any such transplants will be few and far between.

Atalanta....yes it could be done......a uterus could be transplanted into a male pelvis.
The uterus is supplied by the uterine artery which is a branch of the internal iliac artery (large artery in the pelvis) and the testicular artery in the male is a branch of the Aorta (biggest artery in the body) and it would only be a matter of plumbing.
BUT....that is the easy bit and the link supplied by mamy gives you a better indication of the problems.

Yes......the size of the baby is not dependent upon the size of the pelvis. It may well be that, as the male pelvis is narrower than the "usual" female pelvis, a Caesarian section may (will) have to ensue, particularly if there is no vagina ;-)
The problem will be to get the fertilised egg, to implant.
