brand new uterus?

I did see this and as someone who has had two very rough pregnancies, I simply can't imagine it. Just because medical science CAN do something, doesn't mean that they SHOULD (kind of like that discussion we had about the child with all the disabilities and the surgeries, Ashley, was it?).  

is it worth the risk to the child/mother doing this to give the women the experience of pregnancy?

 
Absolutely not!  This falls under the category of selfish to me.  There are sooooo many kids needing adoption in every country around the globe that no one needs to do this.  I am also totally against the gender picking and genetically creating these "perfect" babies for parents as well.  Some infertility treatments are even stretching it these days.  I know I sound harsh, but I see so many babies born to teens and unfit parents that need good homes. 
 
I agree with the above statement that just because we maybe can, doesn't mean we should! 

errm, wow...they're really doing that? yeah I'd think the rejection issue would be a big one to consider. Babies need a nice quiet place to develop lol!,....not one that's under attack.
 
I am seriously considering adopting another child when mine are older, even tho I could carry one myself...or fostering. The things lately that've been going on with the foster system here just make me so sad...I want to help. Kids out there do need help and families of their own...
 
It's really a strange idea....transplanting something so complicated and still to this day...mysterious as a womb.

IMHO if someone can't have a baby but really want one, they should adopt instead.  There are defiantly too many kids without forever families to have some major surgery just to have one that's related to you.  Personally, if I ever decide that I want a kid, I plan to adopt.  I think science is getting way to far on too many things.  Why can't we be happy with the world the way it is?

They can do THAT now?  But, I don't really think that they should.  My uterus left me when I was 27 or 28.  There have been many times that I wished my husband and I could have a baby together, but, that wasn't in The Plan.  We fostered several children together and that was good enough.  But, since I'm in my 50's, and have raised two plus kids of my own, I guess that's easy for me to say.

OMG I just had this HORRIBLE thought of young women selling their uteruii on eBay....you know it's probably not far from the truth tho...is it, given the times we live in??

Heh heh, with two c-sections and multiple fibroids, I guess I certainly couldn't list mine as "NIB" or even "gently used". Also, comes from "home with pets" but is from "smoke free home"! Sorry, couldn't resist! I do think they currently have a prohibition against selling body parts, but ten years from know, who knows? Sometimes I think the fertility specialists have  gone too far and are preying on the vulnerable emotions of people who are desperate to have kids.

Me, ME!!! :::waving hands wildly:::

You can HAVE my uterus! Take my uterus......PLEASE!!

1. It's only been used once!

2. Produced one very handsome red-haird child!

3. Has been kept in a warm place!

4. Is easy to find!

5. Has had a pretty good work out every month!

6. I DON'T NEED IT!


If you want to pay me money for it, EVEN BETTER!! [sm=proud.gif]

I agree with everyone. Adoption  - there are so many kids that would love a home. And the immunosuppressant drugs that would be needed? Just doesn't seem wise.

jean you are hilarious.


i don't think i would be very comfortable having that organ from someone else, that is invading far too many personal spaces. i think organ transplants should be limited to emergency-basis, and babies certainly are not an endangered species, therefor i do not see it being a necessary operation. i understand the need or want to fulfill the mothering instincts, but i also understand there are more than enough children on this planet that have no families. it does not take a genius to figure this one out.

Not a lady so  I don't think I have the right to post or not. But just a man's view on it. It is nice to see one of your offspring and I think a lot of men think that.
Either way for me personally, I would love either child adopted or mine and would view them as the same. But...I keep thinking of all of the drugs that would be taken to stop the body from rejecting it. How many medicine labels have you looked at that say " If you are pregnant consult your doctor" ???? Those imunosuppressent drugs are some powerful things. I keep thinking of Thalidamide babies for some reason.
Heart, ok, eyes, ok, kidneys,liver, lung, even face I don't have a problem with.
 But something that can produce babies is a little spooky to me. All those drugs can't be good.
I think Jeff Foxworthy made a joke about it. If his friend died can he have his penis? Medicine has advanced so much since I can remember, and I'm only 31...What's it going to be like in another 30 years?

With all the homeless children in the world...

Not going to be a popular responce, but here goes.


Personally if it is your body and you want to, and have the money  then it is up to you, but if the drugs or surgery do end up causing more problems for the children they are ment to grow, the plug should be pulled.  If the surgeries can be done, and the drugs do not cause more birth defects, health problems etc, then who am I to tell someone else they cant do it?  I do not think I hav ethe right to tell someone they cant have an abortion, or put their child up for adoption, or do anything possible to save a child no matter of the childs quality of life, it is their lives and choices.  But like I said if their choices are directly and negativly effecting children then it should not be allowed.  Some people do not want to adopt, call it selfish, but that is their choice.  After watching my cousin struggle for 5 years to try and adopt, I can really understand why, this is an international adoption, and they choose a country and war breaks out, after having a child assigned to them.  Imagin having a childs picture, being told this one is yours his name is___________, here he is at 3 days, and 3 months, and now at 6 months.  You have to wait until you can get all the paperwork, and passports done, usually about a year, so then after doing all of this and just a month or so away from leaving to pick up the child you have watched grow up in pictires sending him stuff,  and your pics so he learns that you are his new parents, being told well you can try and get him, but becasue of the war it is not recomended.  Or his orphanage is in a highly bombed area.  It is not all easy to adopt, and saddly the ones that need it the most are often the hardest countries to get them out of.  I am happy to say that they have another little boy assigned to them from Etheopia that they hope to pick up around march, he will be almost 2 by then.

That's why I am cosidering fostering or adopting at some point, from HERE. Not like there's a kid shortage here in the states.
