Daughter will receive transplant of her mother’s womb

Melinda Arnold, after many years of wanting to be a mother, is set to receive a transplant of her mother's womb. This is the first operation of its kind in Australia. Mrs Arnold was born without a womb but with ovaries that produce eggs, and she and her husband unsuccessfully tried to use her mother, Denise Allen, as a surrogate. Attempts at adoption also failed. 

Should someone concieve baby if the womb is not theirs? Is there any moral issues concering this topic? Should doctors have any say in doing these surgeries?
