Résumé
Uterus transplantation (UT) is a surgical procedure that seeks to correct absolute uterine infertility. As such, it is coupled with assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Currently performed as an investigational procedure in France, this technique could be subject to a legal framework in the future. Given its specificities, the French legislator will need to state their position on several matters. Regarding the donor, they will need to determine whether the benefits for the infertile woman justify exposure of a living person to the risks of the removal procedure. If necessary, they will have full freedom to set the criteria for selecting the living donor based on age, the existence or not of past pregnancies or the nature of the donor-recipient relationship. On the other side, the conditions for becoming a recipient should be consistent with the existing rules for ART. Other considerations could include age and past pregnancies again. Lastly, the legislator will also need to address the possible desire for UT without the endpoint of pregnancy.
