British Woman Gives Birth After Receiving Transplant Womb from Sister and Pro Bono Surgery at Hospital​

"A woman has spoken to the media for the first time after becoming a mother to the UK’s first child born from a transplanted womb.
Grace Davidson was able to have that opportunity thanks to her sister, who donated her womb in what Davidson called “a huge act of sisterly love.”
Born in February, little Amy Isabel was named after her aunt who donated the womb she was conceived in, and given a middle name of the leader of the team that led her surgery.
The first-ever baby born from a transplanted womb was in Sweden in 2014. The procedure has been replicated dozens of times since then, and 65 babies have come into the world as a result."

"Davidson was born with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome that results in a woman’s womb being missing or underdeveloped. It doesn’t, evidently, preclude the possibility forever of having children, since the ovaries are intact and normal.
Davidson and her husband Angus had originally planned to seek a womb transplant in 2018, but the original donor proved unsuitable. The pair had received confirmation from Davidson’s sister Amy that she would be willing to donate her womb, which she used to have two children, but the pandemic delayed things further."

I'm glad that women was able to have a child that way.

I wonder if God will allow a child to be born this way, article below? I have not read about any success stories yet, just attempts in planting a uterus into a man. The article states the child would need to be delivered via a c section, because men do not have "fully functioning" vaginas, this is insane.

A surgeon in India will attempt to transplant a womb into a trans woman who was born a man — with the view to making them pregnant.

What in the world?!

The sister, who had a functional uterus and was finished having children, gave her uterus to her sister, who had no or an underdeveloped uterus, so she and her husband could have children. The sister, who received the uterus, then got pregnant via IVF, but the article doesn't say whether or not they used the husband's or a donor's sperm. Like a woman giving one of her kidneys to her sister. Living organ donation, which doesn't kill the donor (NOT like Chinese living "donors," who are often unwilling and are killed by the organs being removed).

I have very strong opinions against IFV, so either way wrong on so many levels. Nobody is owed a child and I’m saying this after struggling for years of infertility. I praise God he blessed us with children but forcing a pregnancy using unethical and immoral practices is not the way. I had accepted whatever God had for us, children or not. It’s a shame more people can’t accept to live with what God has given them in life.
