He takes medication daily, and in the time I've known him he's needed to return to Sloan twice for extended (3 weeks) stays for high fevers and internal infections. <BR/><BR/>He endures this because these donations saved his life, but I don't see any lifesaving opportunity for a uterus. I'm troubled about research and funding dollars going towards this... how can a woman be pregnant while taking anti-rejection drugs? I know I don't know a lot about it so I'm writing from emotion here, but it troubles me. Also, the animal experimentation and subsequent deaths of these ewes.Ungrateful Little Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156483035844101714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-24485717529724881982007-04-10T13:25:00.000-05:002007-04-10T13:25:00.000-05:00Appalling!

I would never want to see a woman selling her uterus to feed her children and so on. That should never be legal. But, the article specifically talks about dead donors. That I have no qualms with.MomEtc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11318169504182991122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-83043147846276200172007-04-08T21:01:00.000-05:002007-04-08T21:01:00.000-05:00It is not so much about adoption with this issue. ...It is not so much about adoption with this issue. It is messing with mother nature. I don't like the idea of women somewhere or someplace being used in some way to get their uterus. I am looking at this from a woman's point of view. Yes it could reduce adoption. I worry about those that would feel entitled to someone else's body parts. We already have a sector that believe that they are entitled to another woman's child. I am not saying all but a few. Our society views women as property same as children.Amyadopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954658047614318238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-22140578494033529672007-04-08T19:39:00.000-05:002007-04-08T19:39:00.000-05:00I've had a hysterectomy and while I have no desire...I've had a hysterectomy and while I have no desire to replace my uterus, I would like to see this option someday for other women, when the procedure is safe. <BR/><BR/>Of course, like anything else, it needs to be controlled. People should not be exploited to benefit someone else's abililty to become fertile again. Certainly the uterus of a dying woman could be donated just as her other organs would be if she's an organ donor. <BR/><BR/>I'm always puzzled by people opposing a procedure like this, who simultaneously wish to reduce adoption. Wouldn't the success of this procedure reduce adoption?<BR/><BR/>Note that when I talk about the transplant of a uterus I am NOT talking about the transplant and usage of the donor's ovaries. I think some people have that confused.<BR/><BR/>The VoyageMomEtc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11318169504182991122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-54143653124756395122007-04-08T13:08:00.000-05:002007-04-08T13:08:00.000-05:00OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Black market wombs.
