Elizabeth Goldman, who underwent a uterus transplant in Alabama, fears that the state's new IVF ruling could shatter her dream of building a family, as she was born without a uterus.
A baby boy has been born in Sweden via a planned C-section after being carried in a uterus implanted into his mother by a robot, marking the first time robots have been used for the procedure. The pregnancy was made possible when a family member agreed to donate their uterus to the mother, who then had a fertilized egg implanted into it via IVF. Surgeons used robots to help carry out the surgery, which is less invasive and reduces the risk of developing an infection. The case will give hope to the tens of thousands of American women who don't have a uterus or have one unable to carry infants.
