Re: Uterus Transplant
However fantastic the science behind this is, this just seems to be yet another case of doing something just to prove that you can.
However much I sympathise with infertile women and I do, being born without a womb is not an illness but a misfortune and there are many other birth defects which are much, much worse.
The health service now is nearly on it's knees through a mixture of over demand because of population growth and too many treatments being offered not connected to illnesses, and now tens of thousands more women will be demanding even more from it to remedy what is nothing more than a misfortune of birth.
Is this really fair on the genuinely ill and can we really afford to continue to offer these hugely expensive treatments which do not cure illnesses?
