We have been following this subject with interest. I would love to have the chance to have a child this away.

The uterus WILL BE REMOVED at the time the fetus is delivered (via C-section) so theere is no long term immunosuppressive drug therapy.<BR/><BR/>The big issue that I see is "if they can transplant a uterus into a woman who needs one, can't they also transplant one into a male??? The uterus doesnt care, and there are homone therapy replacement drugs that can manage keeping the female hormones within normal limits during the pregnancy. What about transexuals? Will they be able to have children?
