The womb story is on the BBC now. I'm fine with this particular case as it involves 2 Sisters but as with surrogacy, anything else should not be allowed.No surprise that the author of Grandad’s Pride is a non-binary male
He’s also written a book called Grandad’s Camper, which is apparently a ‘Stonewall Honor book’ (whatever that is!) and ‘celebrates love in all its forms’ (Harry Woodgate
Multi-award-winning author and illustrator of children's books including Grandad's Camper, TIMID, Little Glow and Grandad's Pride. Clients include Penguin Random House, Bloomsbury, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Andersen Press and National Book Tokens.www.harrywoodgate.com anyone?).
The Mail has another piece about it here:
—————The author behind 'Grandad's Pride' book which sparked school row
Harry Woodgate is the author of Grandad's Pride, which was criticised by horrified parents when they spotted 'two images of men who are partially naked in leather bondage gear' in the book.www.dailymail.co.uk
Also, just read this sobering article in the Telegraph following the UK’s first successful womb transplant (woman to her sister).

Are you fucking kidding me?!? There's four fucking billion of us on the planet and they can't find 25?!? If they were one short I wouldn't have minded sitting in as a temporary measure. I mean I have no talents or anything but at least I actually fit the most important criteria. Twats.Vogue 'Powerhouse 25' women for this year - how hard was it to find 25 noteworthy women?

I don't agree with it, it's a major (traumatic) surgery and unnecessary.The womb story is on the BBC now. I'm fine with this particular case as it involves 2 Sisters but as with surrogacy, anything else should not be allowed.
Quite simply, men cannot have them. They have none of the supporting physiology involved in sustaining a pregnancy. There are multiple processes happening beyond the uterus to make a pregnancy viable. As just two examples: Blood volume increases by up to 45% and plasma volume by up to 60% during pregnancy, and the female pelvis is designed to accommodate pregnancy growth; the male pelvis is not.The womb transplant story is in the Mail now.
I find it unethical and theres already a comment asking when men can have them.
Sister donates to sister for UK's first womb transplant
The procedure, carried out at a hospital in Oxford, marks a huge breakthrough for thousands of British women who might otherwise be unable to give birth.www.dailymail.co.uk
Totally agree with you. Life saving organ transplants are one thing, but I don’t feel comfortable with this either. It’s a step too far.I don't agree with it, it's a major (traumatic) surgery and unnecessary.
It is easy for me to say that the recipient sister should accept she was born without a womb and has lived her live without one all her life.
I think just because we can doesn't mean we should
I appreciate it's clearly a trauma for her not to have had a physical womb and not to have children, but I just don't agree with the transplant.
Sadly this is what one of the doctors had to say.(see picture)Quite simply, men cannot have them. They have none of the supporting physiology involved in sustaining a pregnancy. There are multiple processes happening beyond the uterus to make a pregnancy viable. As just two examples: Blood volume increases by up to 45% and plasma volume by up to 60% during pregnancy, and the female pelvis is designed to accommodate pregnancy growth; the male pelvis is not.
Where would a uterus ‘go’? There isn’t an empty space in the male pelvis just waiting for a uterus to slot into.
Anyone who thinks ‘just implant a womb into someone’ will allow a biologically male body to successfully carry a baby is unbelievably stupid. There is a vast array of supporting systems that allow a female body to carry a pregnancy to full term, and even so pregnancy is still often a problematic process for many women. Male bodies are not designed to adapt to pregnancy the way female bodies are.
I think you're right. A few years ago I wouldn't believe that any doctor would do something so <<searching for right word>> experimental/Frankensteinium (yeah I know that's not a word) But these days I'm not convinced that everyone in the medical profession has unquestionable ethics.I think someone is going to try a TW womb transplant in the next 2 years (not in the UK). I also think it’s highly likely the patient will die from complications.
I'm not a fan of Carol but at least she's a real womanWent to look at the comments on vogue’s insta post (heartening!) and was stopped in my tracks by the inclusion of Carol Vorderman?! What a joke list hahaha.
There's stories all the time now about people who have had terrible unethical cosmetic surgeries done in places like Turkey. Look at Jessica AlvesI think you're right. A few years ago I wouldn't believe that any doctor would do something so <<searching for right word>> experimental/Frankensteinium (yeah I know that's not a word) But these days I'm not convinced that everyone in the medical profession has unquestionable ethics.
