AMA Journal: Taxpayers should fund $300,000 UTERUS transplants to help transgender women get pregnant

 

In a mind-boggling move by the American Medical Association, two bioethicists writing for their Journal of Ethics propose that uterus transplants for transwomen should be subsidized by private insurance and government providers. 

As recently reported by the Daily Mail, the American Medical Association made arguments in their Journal of Ethics that biological men who have undergone transgender surgery (aka "transgender woman" or "transwomen") should not only be able to receive uterus transplants in order to experience pregnancy, but that they are 'plausibly justified' in having the procedure covered by medical insurance providers. 

Titled, "Should Uterus Transplantation for Transwomen and Transmen Be Subsidized?", and authored by bioethicists Timothy F. Murphy, PhD (University of Illinois) and Kelsey Mumford (NIH), the article argues that:  

"Transwomen lack a trait (the ability to bear children) that may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being."

The article attempts to preempt arguments against granting transwomen the same rights and successes with uterus transplantation (UTx) experienced among 'ciswomen,' positing that, 

"It does not seem likely, however, that all parties interested in UTx will have the same standing when it comes to federal subsidies or insurance coverage benefits. This analysis describes the comparative moral strength of claims for financial support for UTx that different parties might make."

Their key argument follows: 

"Transwomen who want to gestate children. Even though there has been no uterus transplant to date in transwomen that we know of, some clinicians have maintained that there are no absolute barriers in anatomy, hormones, and obstetric considerations that would rule out the possibility of successful UTx in transwomen. Transwomen wanting to gestate children can plausibly justify subsidy of UTx on a number of grounds, as mentioned above. Transwomen lack a trait (the ability to bear children) that may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being. The lack of a uterus also closes off the prospect of gestating a child in a way that is available to women as a class. It follows that lack of a uterus is an obstacle to full participation in the social goods attached to women's identity."

As we have previously reported, there is a concerning trend within the US medical system to target toddlers as young as 2 years old for transgender surgeries and associated medical treatments. This trend can only be properly understood within the context of what in investigative journalist Jennifer Bilek calls the "Trans Agenda." She helps break down how identity politics and the carefully crafted perception that transgenderism is only about human rights versus a carefully crafted and exponentionally ballooning industry of medical services, should be an essential part of the conversation. 

I highly suggest you watch her interview on who is behind the Trans Agenda on Unite.live here.
