Pretty fascinating science.

The "hundreds of thousands of dollars" cost is a bit concerning to me. I'm also guessing it will difficult to bring the cost down since it requires a donor uterus.

The price will be brought down through other methods, specifically cloning. It won't make sense at all to rely on donor organs. At our current rate of improvement on cloning / growing organs and tissue, we'll be able to do it in the next decade or two.
