Uterus transplantation has been one of those controversial procedures, and continues to surprise many people of its capability.

In THE ETHICS OF UTERUS TRANSPLANTATION, a study by Ruby Catsanos, Wendy Rogers, and Mianna Lotz, the authors present both the pros and cons of uterus transplantation, but were more inclined to argue against Uterus Transplantation: just as this paper does. Uterus transplantation, as presented in THE ETHICS OF UTERUS TRANSPLANTATION, is a surgical operation performed on woman who suffer from uterine factor infertility. This means that the woman’s uterus is not healthy enough (due to disease or infertility issues) …show more content…
