I think that something many people have overlooked is that while men may be able to physically harbor a baby, the hormones that a pregnant woman produces that are responsible for preventing her from rejecting the fetus are not normally produced in men. Of course, one may suggest injections of this hormone, but it could potentially have harmful side effects.

Its strange how life can come in so many different ways. It seems that each one of us is built with this ‘will to survive package’. Humans and even other animals sometimes live through almost anything.

It sounds kinda crazy, but I agree that it might actually be possible for men to bear children…there’s the down side of being…you know, DEAD.

But upwards of that, wow. I mean…all they might really need is in vitro..and some way to INJECT the fertilized egg.

Wow. I bet when I’m in my 50’s I’ll see pregnant men (!!) walking down the street. And hopefully, the danger of cancer would have been eliminated, but only for its role to be efficiently overtaken by SARS. What a bleak (bright?) future.

What really makes this occurrence…harrowing is that once there is placental growth, the mother MUST carry out the pregnancy to term. This really means that she doesn’t even have a chance…once she’s pregnancy, there’s a very real chance that she could die.

When you first related this story to us in class…I was totally astounded.

Wow. How the body compensates!

First off this woman and baby are very lucky to be alive. But men being able bear children is totally unlogical, even if the doctor or somehow the egg fertilized over the man’s liver it could kill him and the baby. And this may be a stupid question, but where is the baby going to pop out of.

I saw this story on Discovery health. My jaw was on the floor while I watched. I’m so glad that you posted this up here!

I think it’s pretty awesome that a baby can develop pretty much anywhere in the abdomen. I guess this means that my aunt can get a second chance at having a kid. Even though it’s an exciting concept, I’m still wary of the high risks involved. I would have to say no for right now, just because it would be heartbreaking to carry a baby full term and then have it die.

Males having babies? I say go for it. Maybe if enough males carry babies they’ll stop complaining about pregnant women. Women have been having babies for thousands of years. Everyone should get a shot at it.
