Via my friend Marti, I read this BBC article about the imminent possibility of human womb transplants.
What I find interesting about the article (aside from the hand-wringing about "ethical ramifications"), is that there is not even a passing reference to whether there was any accompanying research being done to figure out how to sustain a pregnancy for trans women, or even cis men.
Or: Is it just a given that it's possible, with the provision of the right levels of pregnancy hormones, and the possibility was so weird that it was excluded from the article?
Is that what those vague concerns about "ethical ramifications" are all about...?
