<div class="IPBDescription">Hoax? Thoughts?</div> www.malepregnancy.com

Do you think its a hoax? I currently am skeptical. Although it seems fairly legit, most of the news posts don't work. Also, I would expect much much more media coverage on something like this.

Hoax or not, what are your thoughts on this? I personally think this is good for gender equality, homosexuals (males, obviously), etc...

I'd like to hear your opinions.

    Hoax. <a href='http://publicfiction.org/000050.html' target='_blank'>http://publicfiction.org/000050.html</a>

    Exactly what purpose would it serve for "gender equality"?

    Because currently only females can give birth? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> I think if this were to become truth (I'm actually kinda sad to hear it isn't) that it'd be very useful to homosexuals, who currently either have to have a female carry 'their' child for them, or adopt.

    Total hoax. Physically no way a man can carry a child. Not to mention that we've evolved to have one sex that carries the child for a reason.

    Not to sound gaybashing, but homosexuality is a negative-survival trait. If we constantly tailor the world to keep everything equal, then sooner or later possibly a majority of humanity might turn into negative-survival trait carriers.

    Plus, how can a man carry a child for nine months, without a stretching uterus, no birth canal, and having to rely entirely upon science for the kid?

    Something equality things I agree with, but not something this blatantly stupid.

    When survival traits become unnescary, they cease to matter, and the survival of the species is no longer dependant upon every person reproducing.

    Well, maybe not the survival of your species, but I prefer to think that mine still follows the laws of natural-selection...(almost put org)

    I mean, come on, making it so men can carry children is bringing the idea of sex-equality a little bit too far. Sure, it might be useful for gays but don't you think that it's akin to genetic therapy on humans?

    Im not an expert on the matter of male pregnancy, but I can imagine that if it was made possible for men to carry children it would involve a very long ad complex operation prior to this to have him fitted with the nescecerry internal organs, operations during the pregnancy to make sure his body was coping properly, then an operation at the end to remove the baby. And this is assuming that it would be physiclly possible at all due to the shape of the pelvic area on a man (narrow hips)

    All in all rather a lot to go through when you could just adopt...

    Perhaps tha fact that, because males were never meant to be carrying such a large weight for ~9 months, he would be having back problems like you don't even read about.

    Real men don't need anesthetic.

    Speaking of back problems, the male center of gravity is a bit higher than the female center of gravity, I should know. Read this somewhere I could have sworn. At any rate, such a concentrated weight away from the center of gravity would be quite disturbing to say the least.

    (I think Alien had the right idea when men could only become pregnant through Chestbursters.)

    I while back in a newspaper, I remember reading about a woman giving birth to a baby that was NOT housed in the uterus; I think the baby actually was born though the anus. It hinted that it might be possible for men to give birth from that fact, though it probably didn't take into account much on the male physique.

    Well considering that the back of the pelvis is not wide enough to allow a child to get through, it would have either killed the child, or harmed the mother in a very big way.

    All this talk about men having babies. Though it might be possible I think it is something sacred that woman get to experience and not men. Even if a man could have a baby it wouldn't be born naturally. I have read studies that babies born through c-section are more likely to experience forms depression and detachment from the world. (thought this was interesting)


    **Besides, making babies is the fun part.**

    No thanks...let the women have it, that's what they're built for (no sexism intended, it's just true).

    Men <b>having</b> the children I am not a fan of, but men <b>taking care of</b> the children, now that is no problem whatsoever. I take care of my lil' cousins all the time when they need it - nothin new to me there. Besides, I'm one of a very few people who gives them little ones any dose of real discipline and respect...they don't get everything they want, and they only get something if they ask nicely and are polite.

    I'm already against sex selection of a child, let alone developing a whole new set of Male reproductive organs to add the capability to not only conceive but to birth children as well. I say let God (whatever your belief is...) choose what will come of things. If men were meant to bear children, they would already have the "goods".

    I would truly hate to see a comedy movie such as "Junior" (the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger) come true...it would not be so funny anymore.

    But possibility of it happening that some time in the near future is zilch the male body will need to be totally reconstructed to allow it to happen basically meaning a total sex change. (Not today version of sex change that?s just cosmetic surgery not the real thing)

    Attaching an arm to some from some one else and having the body not reject it was a big break through in medical science.
