This innovative book provides an in-depth exploration of the legal, regulatory and ethical challenges posed by the practice of uterus transplantation (UTx) from a wide range of international perspectives.
Adopting a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, the book brings together a diverse group of distinguished academics to consider the current legal and ethical climate surrounding uterus transplantation, a procedure which has been subject to increasing debate since the first UTx birth in 2014. Presenting both a comparative analysis of existing laws and regulations on UTx across the globe, and the perspectives of key academic voices on the ethical questions raised by UTx, authors tackle key issues including the right to gestate, the value of alternatives to UTx, the ethics of donor and recipient selection, child welfare concerns and public and private funding for UTx. The book also examines the future implications of UTx and potential advancements in the field to anticipate and critically evaluate the trajectory of the procedure on a wider international scale.
International Legal and Ethical Perspectives on Uterus Transplantation is an indispensable resource for researchers, academics and students of health law, medical law, and human rights law. It is also a key reference point for legal practitioners, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and regulators.
