(TELEGRAPH) — A woman is on course to become the first in the world to give birth from a transplanted womb, after doctors successfully introduced an embryo into her body.
The embryo was transferred last week, months after the unidentified woman, who has a genetic condition that means she was born without a womb, became one of nine to receive pioneering transplants last year.
The transplanted womb was donated by the woman’s mother, so a baby would also be the first born to a woman using the same womb from which she emerged herself.
