A woman in the UK has become the first womb transplant recipient to give birth, this is my response as a Christian midwife

‘Christianity has a rich history when it comes to medical advancement and though we know that Jesus can miraculously heal, he has also set within humanity the ability to create and develop the most extraordinary treatments and procedures through which he can also work,’ says Michelle Tant.

Marking 25 years of UK research, Amy Isobel became the first baby to be born in this country following a womb transplant. Grace and Angus Davidson welcomed “the greatest gift we could ever have asked for” into their family. This was made even more poignant by the fact it was her sister Amy who ‘donated’ her womb to Grace because she was born without one due to a rare disorder called Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH).
