Blokes would not be able to deliver the baby naturally, but could give birth by cesarean
WOMB transplants could allow men to have babies “tomorrow”, an expert claims.
They would not be able to deliver the baby naturally, but could give birth by cesarean.
Richard Paulson, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, said eight children had already been born to women after transplants.
And he told a meeting in San Antonio, Texas: “There’s plenty of room to put a uterus in there. Men and women have the same blood vessels.”
He said the next step would to be trials involving transgender women to help them become natural mothers.

Last night critics said transgender women may want to think of safer options first — such as using a surrogate. Julian Savulescu, professor of practical ethics at Oxford University, said the safety of the baby should be the priority.
He added: “It it is hard to justify from the perspective of using NHS health resources, or from the child’s own perspective.”
Docs hope to perform the first UK womb transplant in 2018.

God is surely angry by now! First His Church is taken over by a gaggle of agnostic humanists and now this evil! Perhaps the babies will be delivered through the asshole!
Not mentioned in the article, the excessive doses of hormones necessary to establish and maintain the pregnancy; we XXs grow into those levels gradually, XYs not so much. Also unmentioned, would the men not have to go through one of two menstrual cycles, to ensure everything "works as advertised" ? Where would that blood, etc., go, since the article stated births would be by Caesarean? Personally, I'll make the popcorn, to watch men with menstrual cramps.
Loing past time to re-criminalize homosexuality.
