Since there has yet to be a successful uterus transplant into an XY chromosome male body insurance won't cover the estimated $300,000 cost. According to "Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care," a recent article in the American Medical Association (AMA) Journal of Ethics, the cost should be borne by taxpayers.
Authors Timothy Murphy and Kelsey Mumford argued that "Transwomen lack the inherent ability to bear children that XX females have. This may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being. Their lack of a uterus is an obstacle to full participation in the social goods attached to a woman's identity."
Admiral Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health for the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who grew up male and fathered two children, pointed out that "not having the experience of bearing and giving birth to a child from my own body denied me full participation in what it means to be a woman. It is gratifying to see that the AMA is cognizant of this hardship and is advocating for its resolution."
Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon, professor, and medical commentator at Johns Hopkins, expressed disappointment that "the AMA is wasting its energy on an impossible mission. As all physicians know, a person must be born female to have eggs that carry her DNA. Any uterus that is transplanted into another person carries the DNA of the organ-donor. The more important transgender issues are the rising number of health complications reported by those who have undergone sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy. What's the regret rate after transition surgery? What's the long-term complication rate of hormones?"
Levine called Makary's position "remarkably insensitive. He elevates the egg-producers over those of us who had the misfortune to be born male and had to deliberately choose to be women and endure all the hardships and public scorn for making the transition. If it costs only $300,000 to give transwomen a uterus I say this is a small price to pay for the equality to which we are entitled under the law."
