From Wikipedia:
At least one uterine transplant for a trans woman occurred, for the Danish artist Lili Elbe (1882–1931), in one of the medical field's first attempts to treat the needs of transgender patients. Hoping to have children with her fiance, she underwent a uterine transplant in 1931, in conjunction with vaginoplasty, in Germany at the age of 48. However, she developed an postsurgical infection and died from cardiac arrest just three months later.[7] Elbe's medical records were destroyed during World War II, so little is known about the goals of the surgeons or the techniques they utilized, and as Elbe died so suddenly following the surgery, there is no way to determine whether or not the surgeries could have resulted in a successful pregnancy.[8]
Anyways, I say we let them do it. This way we don't have to plan anything, they'll take themselves out. We can use the bodies for medical research or some shit.
No mention or recognition of the woman who donated her uterus.
