We argue that strong moral objections to widespread implementation of uterine transplantation persist despite recent live births following the procedure. These objections relate not only to the serious medical risk to which live donors are currently subject but also to the strength of pronatalistic and biologistic social forces. We explore medical risk in light of various factors and treat questions relating uterine transplantation to gestational surrogacy.

During our workshop at the 2023 CBS-SCB Workshop and Community Forum, we explored and problematized the concept of “improvement” of clinical ethicists, situated within the larger context of discussions about the professionalization of clinical ethics. This summary provides key insights on this topic by clinical ethicists from across Canada and includes suggestions for steps that we might want to take in the field to enable and support the improvement of clinical ethicists going forward.
