Daughter to Undergo Transplant of Mother's Womb

Daughter to Undergo Transplant of Mother's Womb - ABC News: Sara Ottoson, 25, of Stockholm, Sweden, could be the first woman to give birth to a baby using the same womb in which she was conceived and carried to term. 'It's the only way my daughter can have a child by herself,' Eva Ottoson, Sara's 56-year-old mother, told BBC News. Eva Ottoson agreed to donate her uterus in hopes that her daughter could one day give birth.

Editor: For the record, conception usually takes place outside the uterus, unless the "womb" transplant includes her mother's Fallopian tubes.
