Doctors in Britain have secured the approval to carry out the country's first tempted womb transplants as part of a clinical trial. Last year, a baby in Sweden became the first in the world to be delivered following a successful womb transplant, Fergus Walsh reports. Around one in 5000 women is born without uterus, and already more than 100 potential transplant recipients have been identified by the UK team. Unlike in Sweden where the womb was donated by a friend of the recipient, the British team will use organs from deceased donors. The woman will need to take immunosuppress drugs to prevent the womb being rejected. These carry long term health risks, so surgeons will remove the womb either 6 months after birth or once they have tried for a second baby.
