| Abstract: | In April 2000, the first successful human uterine transplantation was performed on a 26-year-old female who had lost her uterus six years earlier due to postpartum bleeding. The donor, a 46-year-old patient with ovarian cysts, underwent a modified hysterectomy. This case was first reported in the medical literature in March, 2002. i This essay addresses the halakc ramfications of such a procedure. |
