The American Medical Association (AMA) has suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant.
Arguments were made to reduce the cost of the surgery in its Journal of Ethics issue in June titled Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care.
But the AMA has been criticized for floating the idea and has been accused of holding an 'activist position'.
It argued that trans women's inability to bear children may cause them to experience 'psychological dissonance' which undermines their health and well-being.
It comes as doctors pioneering uterus transplants believe they are on the verge of allowing transgender women to give birth to their own children.
The AMA says trans women who want to give birth can 'plausibly justify' the subsidy of uterus transplants which cost up to $300,000.
'Transwomen lack a trait (the ability to bear children) that may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being,' Timothy F. Murphy and Kelsey Mumford wrote in the Journal of Ethics.
'The lack of a uterus also closes off the prospect of gestating a child in a way that is available to women as a class.
'It follows that lack of a uterus is an obstacle to full participation in the social goods attached to women’s identity.'
Dr. Marty Makary criticized the medical association and questioned why it was not using its resources to research complications surrounding gender-affirming treatment.
'It is odd that the AMA is choosing to really focus on this activist position rather than fund the important research we need in transgender medicine,' he told Fox's Fox & Friends on Wednesday.
'What's the regret rate after transition surgery? What's the long term complication rate of hormones?

My early youth mirrors yours in this regard. We are probably near the same age. But definitely kindred spirits.
Yes, but first they have to cut social security to pay for it.
Don’t worry, there’s actually no such thing as a transgender person, only mentally challenged men and women who think they are the opposite sex.
It’s all about the Benjamins.
It’s not and it never will be!
Meanwhile there are millions of people with real health problems.
It's not. This is totally fake news amplified by the Daily Fail.
The activist wing of the AMA (who have no medical training) have a clear misunderstanding of biology. Even if uterus transplants were possible, there's an entire endocrine system; hormones, and whatnot that will not allow for men to get pregnant no matter what pills they swallow.
These evil Dr. Frankenstein’s should all have their licenses permanently revoked.
This is a crime against nature and just plain sick.
Ah yes. The Twilight Zone. Also a symbol of a Great America.
I know. My wife, who is a MAGA physician, has been sent many entreaties over the years to join the AMA. She would and will never do so. It is a far-left group and has been so for many years now. It has little to do with real medicine.
I agree. But the sickness of the left promoting this nonsense is permeating into our society. That's what really concerns me.
It’s been said, “if it runs on gas or has a uterus, it is bound to give you trouble.” The best joke is always grounded in truth.
I guess this must be "symbolic of their struggle against reality" then (to paraphrase Monty Python).
“Okay, if they can spend $300,000 to do uterus transplants for freaks, then I should be entitled to the $500,000 plastic surgery that would be required to make me look like Brad Pitt...”
If you are female they just might. /s?

If ever there were an appropriate time for divine intervention, it would appear to be now — or soon. Can the world, especially the woke western societies, get any more perverse?
Thank you for the link. There is a lot of material there. I will read it when I have time.
The fake “medical” association strikes again.
If they want such a ridiculous thing they should pay for it themselves”
Or sponsor crowd funding accounts for these mentally changed women.
But leave the taxpayers out of their money making schemes.
That someone would even ask why conservatives are upset is part of the blindness,
