A surgeon in India will attempt to transplant a womb into a trans woman who was born a man — with the view to making them pregnant.
The risky procedure will involve taking the reproductive organs from a dead donor or a patient who has transitioned the other way and had theirs removed.
There has only been one documented case of a womb being inserted into a trans woman in the past — but she died from complications just months later.
Impregnating a trans woman would be an even bigger feat, and would require the use of IVF and a C-section, because they do not have a functioning vagina.
Dr Narendra Kaushik, who runs a gender reassignment clinic in New Delhi, has said he is 'very, very optimistic' he can make a success of the procedure.
'Every transgender woman wants to be as female as possible — and that includes being a mother,' he is quoted as saying in The Mirror.
'The way towards this is with a uterine transplant, the same as a kidney or any other transplant. This is the future. We cannot predict exactly when this will happen but it will happen very soon.'
The surgeon has not revealed the recipient or given a timetable for the surgery
Dr Kshuik's clinic, Olmec, is at the centre of a booming industry in New Delhi that is seeing the city rival Bangkok as the sex change capital of the world.
He said around a fifth of his customers are from abroad, with many flying from the UK, where the pioneering procedure is free on the NHS but subject to waiting times.

It’s one thing to support an organ, it’s entirely different to support something leeching a lot of stuff from you (assuming it can even manage to do that in a dude)!
A man will never carry a pregnancy, not even with a dead woman’s uterus.
A true-life Dr. Frankenstein, trying to remake God’s design for creating life.
