In this episode of the Birth Uprising Podcast, Emily & I talk all about uterine transplants. This topic has been floating around the internet lately, so we had to dive in.

In this episode we discuss:

• the history of uterine transplants
• the criteria used to determine who is eligible
• who the donors are
• the intricacy of the surgery & its success rate
• the challenges with doing this procedure on a biological male (trans woman)
• the ethical implications of this surgery
• how this surgery can affect babies
• and so much more
