Also, it WAS a T-girl that got the implant and got pregnant. I clearly remember wondering the day I read it, if they'd have to do a C-section since the male skeletal pelvis was not made to pass a baby through it. Sorry I can't post the actual article. I seriously doubt I still have a copy.
If others have had this done, that's great, as long as it works.
Seeing as how they've been very successful in growing a human ear on the back of a mouse, I have to wonder if rejection is an issue anymore.
Yeah... The five years thing... AFAIK there was never ANY successful uterine transplant 5 years ago, let alone full reproductive organs.
The first SUCCESS was only a couple years ago:

I can't find a link about the pregnancy atm, that wasn't even half a year ago at most.
There was a big race around the time the Turks did it, and there were a few other attempts around the same time, but still, the Turkish one remains the only success.
I can suss it out this way: 8 years ago, the best friend I ever had was taken away from me by her new and abusive hubby and I got so sad and depressed I stopped reading pretty much everything, so, I had to have read this item about 8 years ago, or better. I only just started reading again last summer when she wrote and told me she left him for good and wanted to get back together with me. Since then, all I've read were my Chris Miller stories and about 4 or 5 books on entertainment in general and I know none of them said anything about this subject. Possibly you just never heard of it before a few years ago. It's like how everyone think Christine Jorgansen was the first TS, but that's not true. The earliest one I know of was from about 1942 (if not before that).
Anyway, I'm not trying to start any kind of an argy bargy, I'm just tellin' ya what I know. :-)
