Eva Ottosson is to become the first woman in the world to have her womb transplanted into her daughter.

Mrs Ottosson has agreed to take part in the groundbreaking medical procedure that would see her donate her uterus.

Doctors hope that if successful, 25-year-old Sara, who was born without reproductive organs, could become pregnant and carry her child in the same womb that she herself was carried in.

  • you condemn this? who do you think you are? this is the most amazing thing in the world its called a mothers love. and as for you saying the daughter is lucky? you think im lucky coz i can have sex without contraception? oh yes im very lucky i cant have a child! the years of torment and depression, anxiety, feeling like a freak, not fitting in, suicidal thoughts, crying myself to sleep at night you call that lucky? only talk about something if you hav a clue wat ur saying compassion look it up

  • First, the daughter was in the uterus, then the uterus was in the daughter. The circle of life is complete. There is, however, an easier solution. The husband of the daughter could just drop a load in his mother in law and save everyone the trouble of part swapping.

  • Yes it does have high risks but, the failure that occurred in saudi arabia was because the donor wasn't related to the recipient. This mother shares more or less half of her daughters DNA, organ failure is therefore much less likely. But either way there are still risks of pathogens and other external microbes to make it's way into the womb<< now that would be pretty bad.

    PS. the daughter is actually quite lucky, she doesn't have to use contraception during sex. I envy her.

  • shame full, i condemn this weird act
