Have you heard about the pregnant man?

Apparently there is a guy who was once a woman who went through surgery and is now legally a man. He got married and his wife was unable to have children, so now he is carrying their child.

What do you think about this?

I think as long as the child is brought up with love it's fine!

according to the article he did not go through surgery for removal of female organs, so he is using his uterus for the incubation.......
he is only a he via external hormones and lifestyle.....

Now back in the late 80s there was a man who had an embryo impanted in the abdominal wall to carry, he carried to like 7 months and it wa splaced in an incubator to come to full lung development. As far as I can remember the baby survived.

Its not impossible, its not improbably.. but someone shoudl develope male maternity attire.............

I was shocked when I first heard about this story, but once I read more and realized that the man was formerly a woman and still had female organ, it didn't shock me as much. I don't think it is any weirder than a woman going through en-vitro fertilization.

I know if I post my true response it will probally tick some people off. So,I'll keep it brief and not elaborate. Oh, this is so wrong on so many levels. I think it's great to have a child and bring up a child with love but the way they went about it isn't right.

I personally dont like surrogates.... i think its silly...... and un natural. Another woman literally being an incubator, is not different , if you think about it than what is happening.
This at least he had the ability to keep it genetically their own....
