Sounds bizarre, but true...

London scientists believe they'll be able to successfully implant a viable womb from one woman to another - within the next two years.  This BBC report claims, "A breakthrough could offer an alternative to surrogacy or adoption for women whose own wombs have been damaged by diseases such as cervical cancer."

So far, the operation's worked in rabbits.  The researchers plan to move on to bigger animals, like pigs and monkeys.  Then... humans.  Actually, the article says Saudia Arabian surgeons did the first human-to-human transplant back in 2000.  The patient's body rejected the organ three months later, though.

The risks are enormous, since the transplant involves sugically transferring the uterus, then connecting it to almost blood vessels - including the aorta.  And the scientists bank on the recipient hanging on to the transplanted organ - just long enough to carry a baby to term.  Or close to it.

Just how far would you go to bear children?
