Men could get pregnant as soon as “tomorrow” thanks to developments in womb transplantation, according to one of the world’s leading fertility professors.

‘Society should prepare itself for the near arrival of the first babies born to transgender mothers.’

Transplanting a womb is a complicated, lengthy procedure and only a small number of women have undergone the procedure so far. 




However, expertise is being developed at increasing numbers of centres. Dr Paulson said there was no anatomical reason why a womb could not successfully be implanted into a transgender woman.
Professor Julian Savulescu, a Philosopher and bioethical specialist at Oxford University, said: “Uterine transplantation represents a real risk to the fetus, and future child. “We ought avoid exposing fetuses and future children to unnecessary significant risks.”
“Although technically possible to perform the procedure, you would also need to be very confident the uterus would function normally during pregnancy.
