Okay I posted this somewhere else, but it got me to thinking. If this guy is the first guy to become pregnant, I wonder if in the future how many men will take this option. So I was curious, would any of the male members here at this website be willing to do this. Personally, I think its great research and see nothing wrong in it. I don't see why we should be the only ones to have a part in this process. Anyways, here is the link for the website, and I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about it. Apologies if its already been posted.

My apologies, but I didn't know it was a hoax. Especially since the site for the hospital that this all being done at seemed like a real website. I made a mistake in thinking it was real, because I had read other articles about it. And yes I have been in several science courses, but here is my question, have you ever made a mistake before? I'm sure you've found a website, or whatever and thought it was real. I don't appreciate your remark, and I didn't know that this had been posted before.
Urban Legends QUOTE it's fake from top to bottom. But is it plausible?
Not very. Some scientists have argued that a male pregnancy is theoretically possible, but in reality the procedure would be so dangerous that the risks would outweigh any possible benefits. Essentially what it would require would be inducing an ectopic pregnancy — wherein an embryo is implanted somewhere other than the uterus — in a male subject. In women such pregnancies are considered so hazardous (the number one cause of first-trimester deaths) that they're almost always terminated soon after diagnosis. Even if such a condition could be artificially induced in a male, the subject would run a greater and greater risk of hemorrhaging to death as the pregnancy proceeded. |
