AMA Journal: Subsidize Uterus Transplants for Trans People
nationalreview ^ | 8/23/2023 | WESLEY J. SMITH

Posted on 08/24/2023 7:23:44 PM PDT by bitt

The medical establishment has gone totally around the woke bend. Now, a peer-reviewed advocacy article in the AMA Journal of Ethics argues that the cost of uterus transplants for trans people should often be subsidized, particularly for “transwomen who want to gestate children.” From, “Should Uterus Transplantation for Transwomen and Transmen be Subsidized?” (My emphasis):

Even though there has been no uterus transplant to date in transwomen [males] that we know of, some clinicians have maintained that there are no absolute barriers in anatomy, hormones, and obstetric considerations that would rule out the possibility of successful UTx [uterine transplant] in transwomen. Transwomen wanting to gestate children can plausibly justify subsidy of UTx on a number of grounds. . . . 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. 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.

Ow, my head! The prospect of enabling such utter solipsism is more than I can stand. Why should society be required to support — much less subsidize — sophisticated surgeries and aftercare to enable the emotional obsessions of a male who feels female? No: Childbearing is not “attached to a women’s identity.” It is the biological reproductive function of women. Such opinions could make a Salvador Dalí painting look realistic.

For many years I was listed as an Organ Donor on my Driver’s License.

````````````````````````````````````

Same here until my son-in-law passed away, he too was an organ donor. My daughter had the final ok for him to be rushed to the hospital. All they took was the skin off his face.

No open casket for sure.

It just seemed especially grotesque to me and I removed my self as a donor.

They know anatomy and hormones well enough. They simply have chosen to live in a different world than the rest of us.

Has this ever been known to work successfully?
There remains a great deal about male and female bodily functions that is not known. Any such surgery now would be part of some broadbased experiment.

Subsidize Uterus Transplants for Trans People

Subsidize bull horns for Minotaureans.
Subsidize goat's legs for Neo-Satyrs.
Subsidize wings for those who want to fly to the Moon on their own power.

Since men can’t create eggs all they’re doing is borrowing a real woman’s uterus. These folks aren’t just weird - they’re nuts.

Impossible

They cut 'em off.

You really don't need to move off-planet - this particular weirdness is largely confined to the US and Western Europe.

One can only imagine how limiting that will be. Babies don’t always arrive with a hospital close at hand. If the person isn’t able to get to an obstetrician in time, the baby will surely die and possibly the person, as well. The mortality rate for this kind of pregnancy would be astronomical.

I suggest brain transplants first. To get rid of the transgender delusion. In the trans folks and the AMA peeps.

“ You really don’t need to move off-planet - this particular weirdness is largely confined to the US and Western Europe.”

You think so?

Here are some excerpts from Wikipedia page about Iran, for example.

As Article 20 in Clause 14 states, a person who has sex reassignment surgery can legally change their name and gender on the birth certification upon the order of court.

Since the mid-1980s, the Iranian government has legalized the practice of sex reassignment surgery (under medical approval) and the modification of pertinent legal documents to reflect the reassigned gender. In 1983, Khomeini passed a fatwa allowing gender reassignment operations as a cure for “diagnosed transsexuals”, allowing for the basis of this practice becoming legal.[48][49]

Transgender identity is recognized through a sex reassignment surgery. Sex reassignment surgeries are partially financially supported by the state. Some homosexual individuals in Iran have been pressured to undergo sex reassignment surgery in order to avoid legal and social persecution.[12] Iran carries out more sex reassignment surgeries than any other country in the world after Thailand.

This is Josef Mengele medical science. Something the Nazis did. And the Left in the US want this to happen.

How are surgeons going to supply blood to the uterus? First, they have to keep a body-less uterus alive for testing. Since they get to have cesarean scars, plus implant scars, homosexuals would quickly decide infants will survive if delivered/extracted at 36 weeks.

Oh, goodie! Demonicrats will quickly decide women need to give up natural birth, else fake women will feel less than.

They have gone full woke, tossing any logic, actual medical knowledge, or wisdom to the wind. As far as I'm concerned, whenever these people open their mouths, bubbles should float out.
