Women who cannot conceive due to damaged wombs but would like to have a child someday, listen up.

According to the Telegraph,"Women with damaged or missing wombs could, within five years, have transplants that would allow them to have children Naturally, scientists said yesterday."

Tested in animals, the process may soon perfected so successful transplants can also be made to humans.

There is hope. In any case, should it not work, women with damaged wombs can still opt for surrogacy.

i belieive this is a step forward for everyone who wants to conceive a child but can't through no fault of their own.
A child is priceless and i believe that every man and women should have the chance to become a parent and to experience just how special it really is.
the first transplant was a kidney transplant in 1954 and the first heart transplant was in 1967 so i am very surprised that it has taken this long for them to try out this procudure.
Fingers crossed they find a way to make millions of women feel complete.
