Next Frontier In Fertility: Womb Transplants

[Guest KellyKat]

This article was a bit old when I found it, but was still news to me. http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/10/23/ne...ransplantation/ Has anyone else heard of this?

Just the thought of a potential to give birth someday, Is it too much to ask? Can it really happen? Would you risk if it were?

Just some thoughts.

I guess it's possible that medical science isn't that far away from transplanting entire reproductive systems. I imagine there would then be a waiting list and going by current prejudices in society us trans women would be right at the bottom of the list. It would certainly provoke a lot of ethical and moral debate especially amongst the red necks and neanderthals.

To be a mother and give birth to your own child would be an amazing experience but no breast feeding for this girl. It ruins your boobs.

I think that you'd find a lot of girls on this forum that would do that in a heartbeat, me included!

But, the second drawback for me is that I'm 60, not fully transitioned yet, and broke!

We can dream, though, can't we?

Thanks for the link, Honey!

HUGGS!

I have seen this off and on. If it comes to pass I will probably be past caring - unfortunately - and too busy holding up 6' of dirt and sod in a cemetery.

BUT - on the part of the waiting list - yes - I am sure non-fertile women would be first in line for a standart implant, but what of "transplant exchanges?"

MTF and FTM's could "partner up!"

I have a first cousin who is FTM but never had surgery. I am pre op. We are probablly very likely to tissue match! OH MY!

BUT

Not in my lifetime - sigggggggggh!

And next incarnation I am coming back NATAL female. I know I won't recall much of this life, but perhaps in my reincarnation I will see the haloprojected news reports of the young transpeople people of today, now 30 or so years older, getting transplant exchanges - and smile, wondering why that is so poignant to me?

I would definitely go for that swap!!

I'd gladly give up my bits and pieces, for the right plumbing!!

At an earlier age I would have jumped at this opportunity and then tried to find a man who could love me and start a family - but now at 58 if it happened tomorrow I am too old to even consider having a child - we are called selfish for transitioning and I feel that is wrong but for me to have a child at this age would be totally selfish just to make me feel like a complete woman and experience the true joy of motherhood without any thought to the difficulties that would be placed on a child whose parents were approaching 80 as they are finishing college - how unfair.

I cannot think about this for me but for you wonderful ladies in your teens and early twenties I hope that this opportunity does present itself to you when you are young enough to live this - the life that we have all dreamed of.

Love ya,

It will probably be way too expensive for me, even if it is available. In vitro is expensive by itself. Maybe if they ever got it covered by insurance but that is doubtful.

-sighs- one of the comments was "the transgendered community must be happy about this. You can be a man one year and a mother the next". People...
