This woman is being selfish, and yes typically I’m pretty supportive of selfishness, but if she doesn’t survive the two surgeries, the pregnancies, and the 2 or more years on immuno-suppressing drugs (and there IS some risk that she will die) then her children will suffer. They’ve already lost/were taken from their…

Considering the number of very poor decisions I see people making about their lives, myself included, I would say, No, people are not always the smartest about what is best for themselves.

I’m sorry I’m not a feminist in the same ways you’re a feminist. Looking at the other comments, it looks like neither of us is alone in our opinions.

I don’t think being a feminist means I have to believe that everything a woman does with her body is morally above-board. Women (and men too) are not beyond reproach. She’s not getting a risque tattoo, she’s putting her other kids’ quality of life and relationship with her at risk in order to have bio kids. Her…

Agreed! I like to think it also means we are able to express differing opinions within a discussion, as long as we don’t actually curtail another person’s choices.

I’m questioning this, and I guess that is being judgmental. Because it worries me that being pregnant, by whatever extraordinary physical punishment is required to enable it, is held to be so important. It’s her life, and of course I’m not going to interfere with her choices in any way. I wouldn’t, even if I had the…

I don’t believe being pro-abortion means you’re suddenly pro- absolutely anything reproduction related women want to do.

It’s going to be removed? Wow. That’s not making things sound better to me. I hope this isn’t any kind of “She’s not a real woman unless she gives birth” feeling, on her part.

I don’t think a firm belief in reproductive choice should preclude all judgment. Judgment is often way out of place, of course, but when my sister got pregnant with her sixth child despite the fact she was already overwhelmed and all her utilities were about to be turned off, yes, I judged her. I didn’t want her…

What bothers me is that she had extremely risky surgery and will have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life to treat a non-life threatening condition. I’m trying really hard to suspend judgement, but this seems so strange to me. The life of a transplant patient is not easy (see above re: tons of drugs…

The phrase “bum uterus” is giving me hellacious visions of a uterus in the wrong place.

I’m with you. I don’t understand why anyone would want to do this. I don’t want kids, nor have I any desire for them, so I suspect that colours my view, but still ...

As an adopted child, I just feel nothing but sadness for her current children. Boy does this story bring up feelings.

Yeah, she can dismiss how God robbed her of the ability initially.

I know this is going to catch me some flak and but the idea of having a dead woman’s uterus put inside me to carry my baby just skeeves me the hell out.

“From that moment on, I have prayed that God would allow me the opportunity to experience pregnancy,”

Storage space? You know, like finishing your basement.

Goddamnit Jia how did you manage to make me genuinely jealous of you when I KNOW with my BRAIN that you did not actually get to sit in Justin Trudeau’s lap?!

You know, if Panda’s don’t want to fuck, then we should just let them not fuck. Maybe evolution is just doing it’s thing and we should respect that instead of trapping them in cages and showing them Ron Jeremy movies. Fourthly, Prime Minister Trudeau has made a nice transition from Calvin and Hobbes to his new duty of…
