Tax payers are not paying for this..
It is right wing doom porn that is scientifically impossible..

It is your money, and when the NHS comes knocking asking for yet more of it because they are short of funding, services like this are part of why.
So do you want to keep more of your money or do you want to chip in more money to the NHS so it can pay for services that only a very tiny minority of people will ever use and that cost an astronomical sum compared to the types of things most average people will want or need over the course of their lives?
Womb transplants for transfolk or ... that bleeding edge cancer therapy? Your choice.

It is good enough usually this is a fake story.. for ones who want a child that is biologically theirs they have other methods..
No one is talking about this.. there are no studies being done..this is propaganda from one Dr (if he even actually exists) meant as doom porn click bait for conservative conspiracy sites.

No, it seems to be a tabloid sensation. Are you saying this is a joke? I bet people in England won't be laughing.

You might could with a woman.. they already have the appropriate connections..
A man doesn't..
You cannot just throw a womb in a man.. where dies the umbilical cord plug in?? What about the glands that produce the amniotic fluid??
Men have zero of the internal structure required to carry children..
It is nothing like a sex change..
They do not actually make you a vagina/penis...
They give you the best approximation you can get from cutting up the genitals and reforming them..
That doesn't all the sudden add all the accompanying organs , glands and hormones..
It is a laughable concept that present medical science isn't within a light year of..
And the OP didn't want to discuss the ramifications of male carrying a child.. noooo
He wanted to complain about how liberals were gonna make tax payers pay for .. what a surgery that doesn't presently exist and has literally no time table for ever existing.,
It is crappy propaganda any person over the age 12 should see right through.. unless your so willing to believe anything about the political opposition that you don't care if you look foolish.

Tax payers don't pay for procedures that don't exist..
And we are maybe ten years from figuring out how to raise a kid in a top of the line laboratory...
From there you have to make a room full of lab equipment biological.. then you have to make it small enough to fit in person.. then you have to make it all actually work together ..
And at every step you have to perfect it before moving on..
Meaning they will have to PERFECT a kid developing outside the womb.. not just pull one off once..
Then they will have to perfect each little piece of lab equipment..
Then you have to make it biological and perfect it..
Then you have to perfect making it all small enough to fit in a person..
Then you will have to perfect connect to a male without ANY of the needed equipment being already there...
It is a pipe pream that is a century away from being in the prototype phase let alone approved for public funds..
Long before that we will be able to change some ones DNA to add a Y or X chromosome and have them grow their own womb and actually be a biological woman.
Is there a conservative position that doesn't require belief in some vast conspiracy??
