you know conversation of is this an ethical boundary or is this a win for science if it's similar to a heart transplant I'm just like it's a it's a win so I was reading more this morning and a lot of people are commenting being like this doesn't feel right
And so here's the story, okay?
Her name is Grace.
And when she was 16, like, she doesn't have regular menstrual cycles.
Her womb, she was born with an underdeveloped womb, basically.
So when she was 16 years old, the doctor told her, like, you're not going to be able to have children of your own unless, you know, you do surrogacy.
so her and her partner were going down the path of surrogacy but you also can get on a womb transplant list yeah and in the UK they've successfully done a womb transplant but the person was alive so it was the person's sister and like she was 40 years old and she was done having kids gave her sister her womb and in order to do a successful womb transplant like a lot has to go right uh-huh it's very delicate to get it out of one and like plug it into the other yeah but then
This woman died and she was a match for this person and they were able to do a transplant of her womb, although she was deceased, to Grace and it was successful and she was able to carry her kid.
It's really cool.
And so some of the other things I was seeing in the comments was, did the deceased okay this?
Her family, so she died young, I think.
And her parents like okayed and wanted to donate the transplant because they knew that the woman that had died would want somebody else to be able to have kids.
And Grace, the receiver of the transplant was like, you know, I think of this sweet family every time I look at my baby because they gave me my biggest dream.
And so the comments are really, really negative.
Well, they're both.
But the comments are โ there's a big dialogue going on in there.
