Ectopic implantation
Human males do not have the anatomy needed for natural embryonic and fetal development.[1] The theoretical issue of male ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterine cavity) by implantation in biological males has been addressed by experts in the field of fertility medicine, who stress that the concept of ectopic implantation, while theoretically plausible, has never been attempted and would be difficult to justify even for women lacking a uterus owing to the extreme health risks to both the parent and child.[8][9]
Robert Winston, a pioneer of in-vitro fertilization, told London's Sunday Times that "male pregnancy would certainly be possible" by having an embryo implanted in a man's abdomen with the placenta attached to an internal organ such as the bowel and later delivered by Caesarean section.[10][11][12] Ectopic implantation of the embryo along the abdominal wall, and resulting placenta growth would, however, be very dangerous and potentially fatal for the host, and is therefore unlikely to be studied in humans.[10][13] Gillian Lockwood, medical director of Midland Fertility Services, a British fertility clinic, noted that the abdomen is not designed to separate from the placenta during delivery, hence the danger of an ectopic pregnancy. "The question is not 'Can a man do it?'" stated bioethicist Glenn McGee. "Its If a man does have a successful pregnancy, can he survive it?"[11]

(18,402 posts)While I don't want to undercut your admiration for this smart and (yes, beautiful) woman, it strikes me that saying you want to have her babies is wrong on a couple of counts.
1. If you admire a male journalist, you generally don't make sexual remarks about them.
2. Having a baby can, alas, only be done by a woman (who is impregnated by male sperm).
3. Saying you want to hear more from this journalist (and btw, she's hot looking) is maybe a better response.

(37,364 posts)shallow or some such thing. She is so smart and savvy, and drop dead gorgeous. She has more courage than a crowdful of men and has faced down more adversity in life than most. I admire her steadfastness when she takes a stand and she is not afraid to put herself out there against the prevailing winds. I love to listen to her speak. She totally reminds me of Eartha Kitt--raspy voice and all.
She was excellent on The Reid Report
