“…Uterus transplant already requires IVF, so eggs should be harvested (either from the recipient or a donor) and embryos created (either with sperm from the partner or a donor) and cryopreserved prior to transplantation. Although use of fresh embryos was previously associated with a higher birth rate, rates of success with cryopreservation are now reaching rates comparable to those with fresh embryos (Doyle et al 2017) (Keenan, et al 2017) (Shah et al 2016). Indeed, use of frozen embryos may even improve autologous transfer success rates because of the opportunity to delay transfer and thus avoid the non-physiologic endometrium that occurs during a stimulation cycle and is less favorable for implantation and placentation (Cedars 2016).…”

Research teams have made considerable progress in treating absolute uterine factor infertility through uterus transplantation, though studies have differed on the choice of either deceased or living donors. While researchers continue to analyze the medical feasibility of both approaches, little attention has been paid to the ethics of using deceased versus living donors as well as the protections that must be in place for each. Both types of uterus donation also pose unique regulatory challenges, including how to allocate donated organs; whether the donor / donor's family has any rights to the uterus and resulting child; how to manage contact between the donor / donor's family, recipient, and resulting child; and how to track outcomes moving forward.
