Cool, but I always wondered - is the child &#x27;biologically&#x27; speaking belonging to woman who had the uterus transplanted in her body or to the woman who was the original owner of the uterus?<p>For example, I understand uterus has ovaries attached and ovaries have&#x2F;produce eggs. But the DNA of uterus and ovaries is that of the donor.<p>Therefore, sure, woman who gave birth to the baby can technically, legally and socially be called the mother but biologically, if we were to take DNA from baby, would the uterus recipient DNA show up or that of donor?
