Swedes Perform Pioneering Uterine Transplants; Americans Not Far Behind

A Swedish medical team has transplanted uteruses from two women in their 50s to their daughters. Meanwhile, Shots has learned that an Indiana group is recruiting women willing to undergo womb transplants in this country.

“We could go ahead tomorrow if we found the perfect candidate,” Dr. Giuseppe Del Priore told Shots.

Del Priore says he has already interviewed a number of women, and has the approval of the ethics committee at Indiana University in Indianapolis.
