Infertile Daughter To Receive Uterus From Mother

Posted by Soulskill on from the tenant-turned-landlady dept.

kkleiner writes "Led by Dr. Mats Brännström, a team of surgeons at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden are giving Sara Ottosson, now 25 years old, hope that she may one day fulfill her dream of giving birth to a baby. The uterus will come from a very special donor: Eva Ottosson, Sara's mother. Sara's operation will mark only the second time transplantation of a uterus has been attempted in humans, and the first time between a mother and daughter."

    How many resources are wasted on curing people of blindness? How many resources are wasted on curing deafness? On fixing broken limbs? On cleft palate? On spinal deformities? On countless things that are about quality of life, not survival?

    Fucking adopt. Seriously. Instead of being a bunch of selfish fuckwads demanding to xerox as exact a copy of yourself

    Wait, if we're selfish, what the hell do you call the "parents" of most of these orphans?
    If you think there's something wrong with a couple having their OWN child, you're a fucking moron.

    If your going to tell anyone to not have kids, look at the demographics that are orphan factories, not _everyone else_.
