Abstract:
The continuous development and advancement of organ transplantation technology has brought the possibility of fertility to patients with uterine infertility. However, the emergence of new technology always requires careful ethical deliberation, such as a comparative analysis of relevant benefits and risks, to prevent technology from bringing unnecessary negative impacts or even disasters to human beings and society. After a comprehensive ethical analysis of uterus transplantation technology, it was concluded that its risks were high, the costs were excessive, and the benefits were uncertain. Therefore, given the current situation, it is necessary to establish strict preconditions for the research and application of uterus transplantation technology and strengthen supervision, to avoid possible abuses of technology and ethical risks.
