Abstract

Important developments in transplantation in recent years have brought uterine transplantation to the agenda. Transplantation has been a glimmer of hope for many patients with uterine factor infertility. Most women only want to have a child they gave birth to. However, the most important feature that distinguishes uterus transplantation from other transplantation surgeries is that it is performed not to save people's lives, but to increase the quality of life. This situation raises many question marks. Despite the medical and scientific complexity that uterine transplantation has created in the medical world of our time, ethical questions about it perhaps pose more challenges. This review was made to reveal the ethical dimension of uterus transplantation.
