Womb transplants will be possible in three years, claim scientists

HUMAN womb transplants will be possible in two or three years, Swedish scientists said yesterday.

Professor Mats Brannstrom, of Sahlgrenska University in Gothenburg, said women who born without a womb or those who had it removed would be the first candidates for a transplant.

Possible donors could be a sister who has completed her family or the woman’s mother. Age would not be a barrier, the scientists said.
