Too late for that.

I already saw one liberal reprobate at Yahoo call a fetus a “Glioblastoma” a couple of years ago.

Can’t fix a seared conscience.

“In 2015, after taking a male pregnancy test ...”

I’m confused. Does this mean there was such a product as a “male pregnancy test” in 2015, or does it mean that the man used a standard pregnancy test, designed to detect pregnancy in women?

Regardless, it’s an interesting endocrinological phenomenon that should be included in the analysis of men’s urine samples as part of their regular physicals.

Also, if men are over age 40, their risk of testicular cancer is close to zero.

It is a disease primarily of young men - teens to late 30s.

I would venture to say the only difference in the process would be the excellent urine aiming capacity a man has over the woman in hitting the target.

Sample collection is definitely easier for men.

I dunno. I’ve seen the floor in front of the urinals and toilets in the men’s room. What’s the floor in front of the toilets in the ladie’s room look like?

I caught grief from the insurance companies every time I ordered a Beta HCG test on a male. But yes, it is a very useful test for men in certain circumstances.

Of course, I hadn’t thought of that. Not a surprise now that you mention it!

People have wandered very deep into that fever swamp. Yes, depending on hormone levels alone can be a little dicey, as there are conditions other than pregnancy that could cause the levels to change or spike. An ultrasound is pretty definitive, and settles the matter once and for all.

Theoretically, an embryo COULD be implanted in the abdomen of a male, and it would seek out tissues rich in blood supply, like the kidneys, or the liver, or the intestine walls, and attach the placenta there. But it would have to be a surgical procedure, and if carried to anywhere near term, would be almost certainly fatal to the host parent, unless another surgical procedure is performed, resulting in certain death for the embryo. This is what happens in a tubal pregnancy of a female, and an ectopic pregnancy results.

It is what it is, and all the sophistry in the world will not magically change things for a male, with XY chromosomes, to become pregnant.

People that use steroids actually inject themselves with HCG after a cycle of steroids because they say it’s supposed to kick start there bodies to start producing testosterone again. When they take large amounts of synthetic testosterone there natural amount there body produces will reduce or stops. When they buy HCG and wonder if it’s any good they use a pregnancy test to check it. If it comes back positive then they know it’s ok. Also women get injection of HCG to force there bodies to drop eggs when trying to get pregnant.

I think they have these DIY tests at dollar stores.

“Can’t fix a seared conscience.”

__________

If one credits as Catholic Mystic Maria Valtorta as divinely inspired, God the Son, while walking this earth, worked as hard remonstrating with Judas, convicting him in his manifold sins, and trying to induce him to mend his prideful ways, as he did in extricating Mary of Magdala from her life of base sexual sin and of seeking the approval of mere men, in freeing her from the possession of seven demons, in imbuing her with a matchless spirit of penance, and in subduing, harnessing, re-ordering, and re-directing her nearly matchless (exceeded, of course, by that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God) capacity to love.

Would you fault Christ for appearing to have failed with Judas?

Would you have predicted his enormous success with Mary Magdalene?

Christ was crucified with two brigands. Wasn’t one inspired, right then and there, to repent of his sins, and express his faith in Christ? And was that man not with Christ that day in paradise?

I wonder why anyone, frankly, would utter the word “never” (or, in your case, “can’t”) when it comes to who can or cannot, or may or may not, be saved, or as you say, be “fixed”.

None of us can do it on his own, it’s true. But God is known to supply each of us with the grace needed to work out, in fear and trembling, our salvation.

Were each of us, duly and individually, to humble himself, concentrate daily on the most important task at hand, and cooperate with whatever measure of grace we’ve so mercifully been given by God, would we all not individually succeed, just as Mary Magdelene clearly did?

I’ve had the dubious privilege of cleaning restrooms most of my life, from a janitor job in junior high at a swimming pool, to working at a market, to owning my own retail business, and let me tell you now; women trash and filth a restroom much worse than men.

“Does this mean there was such a product as a “male pregnancy test” in 2015,”

From the article: “A Reddit user, CappnPoopdeck, posted a “rage comic” that depicted a man who, as a joke, took an unused pregnancy test left behind by his ex-girlfriend. Weirdly, the test came back positive.”

So it was a standard female preg test.

Having owned my own pub and, like you, having cleaned many a restroom, what you say is true.

Mary of Magdala from her life of base sexual sin

Please show me in the bible where Mary of Magdala was living a life of sexual sin. Chapter and verse if you are able.
