Uterine Transplant. Possible?

March 7, 2002 -- A 26-year-old Saudi Arabian woman who had a hysterectomy when she was 20 received the first and only uterus transplant in a surgery performed almost two years ago. The results were revealed today. The uterus had to be removed after three months due to complications (clots in the supplying blood vessels), but those involved are calling the transplant a qualified success. Originally reported in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

Should it be done if it is possible? Some controversy arises from it not being a life-threatening situation requiring an organ transplant.

(If you were of a mind to, you could go to the Mt. Sinai Journal of Medicine site, www.mssm.edu/msjournal, in search box, type in the words, Uterine Transplant, and read more. I haven't really researched for more after reading this initial article.)
