 Some believe since uterine transplantation is risky for the donor, the reciever and the baby and it is not life-saving, and the woman without a uterus is able to experience childbearing through alternative methods, this practice is morally unacceptable. However, by studing the rules and principles of jurisprudence, it can be said that uterine transplantation is justifiable. It is worth noting although uterine transplantation is risky for the donor; this amount of risk can be justified by reasons such as the principle of dominance. Also, the sanctity of the harm to the reciever is lifted based on rules such as urgency, denial of hardship, etc. It should be noted that although there are alternative methods of childbearing for women without a uterus, but for some people, these methods are not desirable and they prefer the fetus to be in the wife's uterus. From a jurisprudential point of view, human beings have the right to have children, and since Permission in the object is also considered permission in its accessories, therefore uterine transplantation as a prelude to having children in a person without a uterus is allowed.
