UK : la transplantation d’un utérus sera réalisable d’ici deux ans.

The first womb transplant could take place within the next two years, according to a team of international doctors. Researchers from Hammersmith Hospital in London along with colleagues in New York and Budapest say that they hope to transplant a human womb from a dead donor within two years. The aim is to enable women with a damaged womb or none at all, to have children Richard Smith, a gynaecological cancer surgeon, said: "We have had stunningly good results in the laboratory with good blood supply to the organ. We hope to move into human subjects within the next one to two years. The transplant would only be temporary, maybe for two or three years to allow the woman to have children, and then it would be removed." [This is London, 4 September]  www.spuc.org
