Britain will attempt to carry out its first womb transplants after a clinical trial enabling 10 women to undergo the procedure was approved, doctors said Wednesday, according to AFP.
Surgeons hope to replicate the success of the world's first-ever effective womb transplant, conducted on a 36-year-old woman in Sweden who gave birth last year.
More than 100 women have been approved as potential recipients ahead of the trial which is set to start in the first half of next year, after ethical approval was granted by the Imperial College London.
