Years ago, the late Joseph Fletcher \u2014 an anything-goes utilitarian, sometimes called the \u201cpatriarch of bioethics\u201d \u2014 yearned for a time when men would give birth. He wrote in his 1988 book, The Ethics of Genetic Control:<\/em><\/p>\n

Transplant or replacement medicine foresees the day, after the automatic rejection of alien tissue is overcome, when a uterus can be implanted in a human male\u2019s body\u2014his abdomen has spaces\u2014and gestation started by artificial fertilization and egg transfer. Hypogonadism could be used to stimulate milk from the man\u2019s rudimentary breasts\u2014men too have mammary glands.\u00a0 If surgery could not construct a cervical canal the delivery could be effected by a Caesarean section and the male or transsexualized mother could nurse his own baby<\/p>\n

What seemed crackers then is promoted now as a matter of human rights as part of the transgender movement and other advocacy agendas for creating new family structures. Indeed, an article a bit ago in the Journal of Medical Ethics<\/em> opined<\/a>:<\/p>\n

From a justice perspective, there is a moral imperative to ensure equitable access to UTx [uterine transplant]. In this case, arguments against providing UTx to genetically XY [transgender] women for reasons unrelated to safety and efficacy should be assessed carefully to address potential discrimination against genetically XY women as a social group.<\/p>\n

Scientists just took a big step toward making that once unthinkable prospect \u2014 biological males giving birth \u2014 a reality. Rats were subjected to an experiment in which a male was surgically attached to a female so there was shared blood, and then a uterus was transplanted into the male. IVF embryos were implanted in the transplanted uterus, and some of the pups were gestated to a successful Caesarean birth. From \u201cA Rat Model for Male Pregnancy:\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

For the first time, a mammalian animal model of male pregnancy was constructed by us. Our research reveals the possibility of normal embryonic development in male mammalian animals, and it may have a profound impact on the research of reproductive biology.<\/p>\n
