Thursday, March 07, 2002It's hard to believe someone would endure complicated surgery and oppressive immune supressing drugs for the discomfort of pregnancy and the torture of child birth, but evidently in the Muslim world it's worth it. I guess some women would do anything to avoid being considered an "empty vessel." This really can not be considered a success, and I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone if it had been a success. There's an awful lot of risk involved: complicated, prolonged surgery, side effects of drugs to suppress the immune system, and then the risk of bearing a child in a transplanted uterus. Who knows how well a transplanted uterus would respond to the stress of childbearing? It's far too much risk to justify it as a means of achieving the romance of motherhood, which like all romance quickly fades in the face of reality. Wouldn't it be easier for Islamic law to change their edicts and allow adoption? posted by Sydney on 3/07/2002 11:02:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
