Moving the Womb | Jacques Balayla | TEDxMcGill

A novel development in the world of human reproduction has made worldwide headlines: the transplantation of the human uterus. As many as 3-5 per 1000 women are born without a uterus and dozens more lose their uterus during reproductive years. Uterus transplantation has only recently become possible, but the process is riddled with ethical concerns. Jacques shares with us his experience with developing and publishing a set of ethical criteria that have now become an international standard. Dr. Jacques Balayla MD, MPH is a medical graduate from McGill University, where he is now a trainee in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Honoured by the Quebec Medical Association (QMA) as the “Emerging Medical Professional of 2015”, and by the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine as a “Quilligan Scholar”, Dr. Balayla is the primary investigator of “The Montreal Criteria for The Ethical Feasibility of Uterine Transplantation”, which have set an international standard when addressing the ethicality of uterine transplants. In keeping with the theme of this year’s TEDxMcGill, he will discuss how medical advances in the field of infertility have literally given a voice to the next generation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
