Breaking: Man becomes pregnant (no joke)
http://malepregnancy.com/science/index.shtml ^

Posted on 01/16/2003 3:43:45 PM PST by Science man 23

In the years since the first "test tube baby" was born in 1978, physicians and scientists from RYT Hospital have been working to develop a viable technique for the successful impregnation of male individuals. Illustrated to the right is a recent radiographic image of Mr. Lee, the first human subject to attempt this procedure, which shows the healthy fetus developing in his abdominal cavity.

Please note that RYT Hospital is not accepting new patients for this procedure. Male pregnancy is still in its experimental stage and will not be available to the public in the immediate future.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques were used to induce an ectopic pregnancy by implanting an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, just under the peritoneum (the surrounding lining). Please read below for the step-by-step process.

HORMONES Oral doses of female hormones were administered to Mr. Lee to make him receptive to the pregnancy. The following graphs of his hormone treatment were prepared by Simone M. Lowell, M.D., Ph.D., Attending Physician and Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Reproductive Medicine at RYT Hospital-Dwayne Medical Center. Dr. Lowell's research is one of the primary reasons that this clinical procedure is now possible.

IMPLANTATION IVF techniques were used to induce an ectopic pregnancy by implanting an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, just under or into the peritoneum (the surrounding lining). There is a severe risk of massive hemorrhage when the ectopic ruptures; this is also the most common cause of women dying in pregnancy.

EMBRYO GROWTH Once implantation was complete, Mr. Lee stopped taking hormones, because the pregnancy itself, as expected, took over. The embryo secretes sufficient hormones to maintain its own growth and development.

GROWTH OF THE FETUS The duration of the pregnancy has been surprisingly normal, i.e. fetal heart monitoring, chorionic villus sampling, ultrasound scanning (as seen on this web site), and a constant watch over Mr. Lee's health and his enlarging stomach. "Men, as they grow older," Dr. Winston of London's Hammersmith Hospital observed playfully, "have already learned to cope with a steadily expanding waistline. Granted, well, this is a bit different."

DELIVERY The delivery will requires open surgery (Cesarean section) to remove the baby and the placenta. Removal of the placenta is the real danger because it forms such intimate connections with surrounding vessels that massive hemorrhage is likely. Implantation may have also involved other structures in the abdomen, including the bowel and it is possible that parts of other organs may need to be removed. Several physicians who are well-accustomed to advanced and dangerous forms of ectopic pregnancies will be on-hand to handle any complications.

This has gotta be BS. Men don't have the biological equipment.

Is this for real?

Is there really a DWAYNE Medical Center?

I guess only a hospital called DWAYNE Medical Center would notify people that they aren't taking new patients for this procedure, as if men are beating down the doors to get pregnant.

There's a link on this website about a talking mouse!

Either you're trying to BS us, or you've been BS'ed yourself.

LOL!

I'd never take anything seriously that came out of DWAYNE Medical Center. I've known too many people named Dwayne that I wouldn't trust anyone named Dwayne with medical research.

Welcome to FR today.

This has been discussed for years. It should present a BIG problem for the feminists, because it's clearly not HIS body that HE can do what he wants with. It's a baby - a separate individual.

Under no conditions will a male-dominated society allow this to come to fruition. Ahnold aside, no male has the strength, guts or toughness to carry a child to term.

If this is true and becomes viable...the birth rate will drastically be reduced....LOL

What a research powerhouse this hospital is. Not only have they developed male pregnancy, they also have transgenic talking mice !

Before you get on your soapbox, this whole thing is BS. Check out this page from the same website.

RYT Hospital - Dwayne Medical Center www.RYTHospital.com All the miracles of modern medicine
World's First Transgenic Mouse with Human Intelligence
CLYVEN
Clyven

Clyen operating the electronic neurological device which allows him to communicate online.

Margaret A. Keyes, M.D., Ph.D., is a researcher in genetic medicine and Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics at RYT Hospital - Dwayne Medical Center. She is exploring the use of embryonic stem cells as a means to cure neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

By implanting human brain cells (grown from a human embryo's stem cells) into a mouse engineered to have Alzheimer's, Dr. Keyes inadvertently made a remarkable and startling discovery: she not only cured the mouse¹s Alzheimer¹s Disease, but the animal soon developed the relative intelligence of a human being.

After extensive consideration by RYT Hospital's Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), it was decided that this mouse would be placed under a new study led by Dr. Keyes' lab.

Fantastic, now he can carry one, I'll do the next. Or maybe women can take a brake for a hunred years and then resume
incubation. OMGitisbizzar!

You HAVE to HAVE something that the umbilical cord attaches to, in the female body it is the inside of the uterus. The man has no uterus. I do not see how male pregnancy is possible without implanting a uterus in him.
