Eva Ottosson, 56, plans to donate her uterus to her 25-year-old daughter Sarah, who was born without one. This will be the second such procedure attempted, and, if successful, Sarah will carry a fetus in the same womb that once held her. The procedure could take place next spring, in Sweden.

So I mean, am I the only one thinking about matryoshka dolls?

Technically, an attempted womb transplant was performed in 2000 in Saudi Arabia, but the recipient rejected the womb after about three months.

Say the dudes over at The Telegraph:

“Sara said she was unconcerned about the implications of receiving the womb that she herself was carried in.

She said: “I haven’t really thought about that. I’m a biology teacher and it’s just an organ like any other organ. But my mum did ask me about this. She said ‘isn’t it weird?’ And my answer is no. I’m more worried that my mum is going to have a big operation.””
