I thank you for the opportunity to respond to the letter submitted in response to my mini-commentary on uterine transplantation in transgender women. I agree with Jones, Alghrani and Smith that current legislation is not well equipped to govern the rapidly developing field of uterus transplantation (UTx). UTx straddles transplant and reproductive medicine, law, and ethics, with current legislation brought into force before UTx was contemplated as a reproductive possibility in the UK.
