The desire to become a mother often drives many women to make radical decisions, which could endanger their health or throwing questions about the moral implications related to these gestures. But in the case of Eva Ottosson, a 56 year old business woman originally from Nottingham, the question is how much of medical ethics, as the lady has decided to transplant the uterus in the body of his daughter Sara, who suffers from the syndrome Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser, reports the BBC website.
In other words, the girl, who lives in Stockholm, was born without reproductive organs, but with normal ovaries and in operation (ie, able to ovulate): a condition that you do not yet know the cause and which affects one in 5 thousand , which often (as in the case of Sarah) realizes it only as a teenager, in conjunction with the non-arrival of menstruation.
If the revolutionary transplant operation is successful (it's scheduled for next spring in Gothenburg), the eggs can be fertilized by Sara using the sperm of her new boyfriend and then implanted in the uterus which, once completed pregnancy with Caesarean section will be removed from the abdomen of the girl.
Obviously, the moral implications of this delicate operation (this is the second time it is tried, the first was in 2000 in Saudi Arabia, but after 99 days there was a crisis of rejection and had to arrange for the removal of the uterus transplant) is obvious to all, as if Sarah would remain pregnant, her child would grow in the same womb from which she was born 25 years ago.
But neither the lady nor her daughter Ottosson seem to care. "Sara and I are two very rational people - said the woman told the Daily Telegraph - and both think" is just a womb. " At my daughter's uterus is much more than me and I'm better than the donor may have. " "I have not really thought about it - said the girl - because I am a teacher of biology and quell'utero to me is just an organ like any other.
If anything, what worries me most is that my mother has to bear such a delicate operation. Having children would mean a lot to me, but right now I'm trying not to get hopes up for any disappointment. However, we also thought of adoption and if the transplant fails, then proceed down this road.
" Understandable desire to want to be Sara's mother, but to what extent his choice you can share? In other words, you would you?
