Ethical concerns have been raised about using womb transplants to give a men pretending to be woman a uterus in order to feel more “complete” as “trans-women”. The questions raised are even more relevant now with the U.K.’s first baby born from a successful womb transplant.
“This week it was disclosed that a baby in the UK had been born from a womb transplant for the first time after the work of Professor Richard Smith, a gynaecologist, and Isabel Quiroga-Giraldez, a transplant surgeon.
“Amy Isabel was born to Grace Davidson, who became the first woman in the UK to receive a uterus transplant in February 2022, from her older sister.”
So, does this mean that we are going to be see a flood of men demanding womb transplants in order to feel like women?
“The surgeons behind the UK’s first womb transplant said they had no intention of using the landmark procedure on trans patients because it is for creating babies, not for feeling ‘psychological completeness’.
“…
“Quiroga-Giraldez said: “The only function of a uterus is to gestate and the uterus doesn’t make any hormones, it doesn’t do anything — it only gives the capacity of a woman to carry her own child.
“‘So that’s why we are not proposing to transplant anybody just so they feel … a sense of being complete or complete psychologically or just to have a uterus itself, because the risks in the long term with immunosuppression and everything that entails is quite great.’
“Smith said: ‘It’s really important to be clear about what we’re trying to do, which is relief of suffering for women who have got no womb, or they’ve got a womb which is incapable of reproduction.’”
So, they are actually pointing out that not only is it wrong to perform unnecessary surgeries to facilitate the delusion of some men to feel like a woman, but that that biologically men aren’t women and this type of surgery should be for bona fide medical conditions?
Finally some medical sanity. Instead of wasting wombs on men for their psychological fulfillment, they can be used for noble causes like women without a viable womb or the creation of catgirls who are capable of becoming mommies!
