Background:

Uterus transplantation (UTx) is an emerging experimental surgery offering pregnancy possibilities for individuals with uterine factor infertility, transgender women, and cisgender men.
The demand for UTx is anticipated to exceed the available supply of uteri.
Organ allocation for UTx is a critical issue requiring careful consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the ethical permissibility of donor preferences in uterus donation.
To explore directed or conditional uterus donation in the context of potential organ scarcity.

Main Methods:

Ethical analysis of donor autonomy in uterus donation.
Discussion of policy implications for uterus allocation.

Main Results:

The study frames the ethical considerations surrounding donor intentions in uterus donation.
It highlights the need for guidelines on directed and conditional uterus donations.

Conclusions:

Donor preferences in uterus donation present complex ethical questions.
Ethical frameworks are needed to guide uterus allocation, balancing donor wishes with equitable access.
