Brazilian doctors are reporting the world’s first baby born to a woman with a uterus transplanted from a deceased donor, ABC News reports.

Eleven previous births have used a transplanted womb but from a living donor, usually a relative or friend.

The baby girl was delivered last December by a woman born without a uterus because of a rare syndrome.

The woman — a 32-year-old psychologist — was initially apprehensive about the transplant, said Dr. Dani Ejzenberg, the transplant team’s lead doctor at the University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine. “This was the most important thing in her life,” he said. “Now she comes in to show us the baby and she is so happy.”

The donor was a 45-year-old woman who had three children and died of a stroke. The recipient, who was not identified, gave birth by caesarean section.

      • I assume George is asking about donating. I do not know neither halachically nor medically (i.e. if it is more similar to a kidney or to a cornea)
