A report says that a doctor in India is planning to transplant a womb into a woman.
The surgeon in New Delhi plans to perform the surgery at his clinic using a donated organ.
Kaushik told the paper that every woman wants to be as female as possible.
Being a mother is included. A uterus transplant is the same as a kidneys or any other transplant.
While a transplant uterus wouldn't allow a trans woman to have a baby naturally, she could theoretically have a baby through in-vivo fertilization.
Lili Elbe, a trans woman, had a uterus transplant in 1931, but she died months later from her injuries. Elbe was played by Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl.
It is rare for a cis- gender woman to have a uterus transplant. The Cleveland Clinic performed the first US uterine transplant in 2016 Both procedures resulted in live births.
The costly and complicated procedures are considered to be experimental and risky.
Medical professionals are not sure if the operation will be a success.
Christopher Inglefield, founder of the London Transgender Clinic, said the procedure would be the same as that of acis-women, The Mirror reported.
It would be illegal to deny a trans-female who has completed her transition if the medical community accepts this as a treatment for cis-women with uterus infertility.
There are clearly boundaries when it comes to trans women, but I believe they can be overcome and the transplant into a trans-female is essentially the same as a cis-female.
The procedure was said to be very dangerous by a renowned British doctor.
It would be a huge challenge, and you still don't have a functioning vagina to allow the birth canal.
The risk of death to the patient would be very high. Both from the operation and also from the pregnant woman. He said that it would not be ethical.
Dr Kaushik said he is confident in the procedure.
This is the future. He told The Mirror that it will happen very soon.
We have our plans and we are very optimistic about them.
