“There’s no such thing as a small god. Once somebody starts playing God, sooner or later, things will get out of hand.” -Elif Shafak
Most of us are familiar with the term “playing God.” Those few instances we do recall were often from movies or television shows where a physician has pushed the boundaries of “do no harm” to “I can- so I should. One of the best examples of this was 1931’s Frankenstein.
In the film version of the famous book, young scientist Henry Frankenstein has become obsessed with the possibility of bringing the dead back to life. He is under the erroneous impression that deceased tissue only lacks the ability to work, needing only the right conditions to revive it; and that he can do it. With this plan in mind, he
gathers various body parts, and employs a dwarf named Fritz to break into a laboratory and procure the one missing component- a brain.
Frightened with the nearby belltower’s gong, Fritz drops the bottle containing the brain marked normal, and unbeknownst to him, grabs the nearest one, marked abnormal. Later that evening, Fritz and Henry are prepared to begin. After harnessing thousands of volts from the storm into his patchwork creation, it comes to life- with disastrous and deadly results. Needless to say, things “got out of hand.”
Though fictional, the ultimate end result is the same: playing God comes with a price. However, even Frankenstein had his limits. It has now been nearly 95 years since America watched the dangers
wrought from the “God-complex” brought to fruition before our eyes.
In 2023, “I can-so I should” is still the only lesson we have learned.
This from the National Post’s Sharon Kirkey:
“Forty-five years after the world’s first “test-tube baby” was born, surgeons are preparing for another historical first: transplanting a womb inside the body of someone born male.’
Several teams are “actively working” to make uterus transplants for transgender women a reality, according to an article published in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility, with the first such procedure likely to happen “within the next few years, if not sooner.”
A team at Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic, the first in North America to transplant a uterus from a deceased donor into a woman born without one, authored the paper. If the anatomical challenges in transgender women can be overcome — and surgeons have said none seem insurmountable — uterus transplants would make it possible for trans women to gestate and give birth to a child.
The baby would be delivered by caesarean section. The issue is sensitive and controversial. Some have called uterus transplants for trans women a “dystopian biological experiment.” Others have argued that the procedures would allow trans women to attain “body-completeness through having a key female reproductive organ.”
Nearly 100 womb transplants have been performed in over 10 countries (excluding Canada) worldwide since the first baby was born following a uterine transplant in Sweden in 2014. More than 35 healthy babies have been delivered. But from a philosophical, and feminist, perspective, she finds uterus
transplants in general “really troubling.”
Ya think?
From this author’s perspective, transplantation, while troubling, is not the biggest concern. That we are so complacent about actual medical professionals putting wombs into men is much more disturbing. The ability for doctors and scientists to change lives is not a blank check; there must be a system of checks and balances to provide accountability.
Once this standard is removed, the door to do literally anything “in the name of science” is non-existent. This is what happens when those that make the rules aren’t governed by them.
Jurassic Park’s Ian Malcom understood this all too well, as he addressed his issues with the casual demeanor concerning “genetically created” dinosaurs:
“I’ll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you’re using here: it didn’t require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don’t take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you’re selling it, you want to sell it!”
These ‘Frankenstein-like” experiments aren’t 20 to 30 years from being completed; this is currently being done as we speak- with measurable success. These “gods” in operating rooms that are slicing and dicing with impunity have been gaining ground for years.
How do we know?
More than two years ago, an article concerning the Cleveland clinic announced that the impossible had become possible.
This from clevelandclinic.org: (See the rest of the article below)
“A baby girl born last month at Cleveland Clinic has made history. She was the first baby in North America delivered by a mother who received a uterus transplant from a deceased donor.
The mother, who is in her mid-30s, is part of a groundbreaking research trial involving 10 women with uterine factor infertility. Women who have UFI don’t have a uterus, or had their uterus removed, so they aren’t able to get pregnant.
The study is testing whether receiving a uterus transplant from a deceased donor could allow these women to become pregnant (via in-vitro fertilization) and carry and deliver a baby.
Since the trial began, the team has completed five uterus transplants, three of which were successful (including this one, which resulted in a live birth). Currently, two women are waiting to have embryo transfers, and several more candidates are waiting for a transplant.”
One Step Ahead or Two Steps Behind?
To be honest, we have by-and-large been always two steps behind. By the time we get up to speed, those seeking to undermine all that we stand for have moved on to the next target. Why? Because we don’t
consider this a threat as much as they consider it a win.
Where they march-we merely gather. Where they are loud-we are silent, and while we merely talk about how we can change the world-they are already doing it. What does it mean when our efforts to protect women and
girls are overshadowed by their efforts to eradicate them?
Get back to me when you finally figure it out.

For the First Time in North America, a Woman Gives Birth After Uterus Transplant From a Deceased Donor
Clinical trial targets women with UFI
A baby girl born last month at Cleveland Clinic has made history. She was the first baby in North America delivered by a mother who received a uterus transplant from a deceased donor.
You’re probably familiar with the idea of a kidney, liver or heart transplant, but uterine transplant is a rapidly evolving field, says maternal-fetal medicine specialist Uma Perni, MD, who was part of the mother’s care team.
“It’s important to remember that this is still research, but it’s exciting to see what the options may be for women in the future,” she says.
The mother, who is in her mid-30s, is part of a groundbreaking research trial involving 10 women with uterine factor infertility. Women who have UFI don’t have a uterus, or had their uterus removed, so they aren’t able to get pregnant. The study is testing whether receiving a uterus transplant from a deceased donor could allow these women to become pregnant (via in-vitro fertilization) and carry and deliver a baby.
This clinical trial reflects the Cleveland Clinic tradition of innovation in clinical medicine. Unlike some other uterus transplant programs, Cleveland Clinic’s trial uses only uteruses from donors who have recently died. This eliminates the risk of potentially harming a living donor, who would need to have major abdominal surgery to have her uterus removed.
“The transplantation of a uterus into a woman is a complex procedure that requires suppression of her immune system response,” says transplant surgeon Andreas Tzakis, MD. “Through this research, we aim to make these extraordinary events ordinary for the women who choose this option. We are grateful to the donor. Their generosity allowed our patient’s dream to come true and a new baby to be born.”
Since the trial began, the team has completed five uterus transplants, three of which were successful (including this one, which resulted in a live birth). Currently, two women are waiting to have embryo transfers, and several more candidates are waiting for a transplant.
