摘要：A woman's pregnancy can be one of the most emotion-laden experiences in her life. Though society's views on the necessity of having children have evolved continuously, there is little question about the impact that a woman's choice to bear children has on her and on her family. The choice to become pregnant gets tested, though, when the woman is an organ transplant recipient because pregnancy may endanger the graft, the mother, and the child. Whether or not women who are transplant recipients should be discouraged from becoming pregnant is a discussion that is a complex kaleidoscope of science, law, and ethics. Even though a consensus on the consequences of pregnancy in transplant patients has yet to be reached, more and more women with transplanted organs are becoming mothers, and greater attention should be given to the issue.
