Womb transplants

Hand me down wombs = preggers for boys and girls

I dont know if this story on womb transplants was posted...Anyway, I am constantly amazed at the breakthroughs in modern science. Check this out:

QUOTE
Scientists claim that the first human baby could be born from a transplanted womb within three years.

Animal experiments have dismissed many of the concerns that womb transplants could not produce healthy babies.

The Swedish expert behind the research says that one of the best candidates to be an organ donor would be the patient's own mother - raising the prospect of carrying your children in the same womb that carried you.

He says that it may even be technically possible one day to transplant a womb into a man, and use hormone injections to allow a pregnancy to succeed.

I was initially slightly horrified by this - and no I dont know why or have a good reason - but really its technically no different than many other transplants. And maybe a lot of people who will benefit from this in the long term.

For example, not to make light of a serious issue, but dudes, you could knock yourselves up. I mean you know once you get your hands on a donor egg or two. Then yous could have the morning sickness, out of control hormones and gynormous boobs too. Then again if you lot ever achieved lactation you'd probably turn it into some sort of juvenile squirt warcraft.

Go on then, whose going to be first? This thread needs a pic, what was that movie where arnold was preggers?

Wow, I want to see a real man pregnant... laugh.gif

Not to mention that men would be much more efficient and get the complete gestation completed in five to six months. But they would suffer much more in childbirth ok, I can't get away with that one. But they would suffer much more from the Caesarean delivery than women. Lots of children growing up without siblings there.

You could give yours to scogs. Haggis III has a nice ring to it - and think of the baby shower we could have. Dont throw anything at me, Im leaving now. ph34r.gif

Sorry, no room in Scogs' abdominal cavity. He's busy gestating a crate of Augustiner.

I know someone close to me who would be willing to put my name forward... Bloody hormones..

Thanks jml, this thread has just made my day! The mental images it conjures up! laugh.gif

Oh, for sure they'd have contests to see who could squirt the furthest. And when the kiddie needs feeding, just sit him up against the wall, mouth open, and use for target practice. Would love to see a man preggers though.

Somehow, I don't know why, but what makes me shudder most is the thought of having the sack that I came out of transplanted back into me. ph34r.gif

A thought worthy of Mary Shelley, Green Tea.

are you sure its the cat that is farting? huh.gif
sarabyrd
Nice one, Carm, wanna ask him?
Carm
I am afraid to go near him or the cat at the moment. unsure.gif
jml
why are you out of jars? huh.gif
Crawlie
With those two in the house, why not just attach pipes to their arses? Would save a lot of money on the gas bill
Carm
she has to run out the recycling bin to get more. tongue.gif
jml
wouldnt they end up gassing themselves to death, pun intended, ala carbon monoxide?
Carm
and they are complaining about the lack of heat in their apartment, but, then again, I guess Sarabyrd has all the windows open with those two. laugh.gif
Crawlie
Well obviously you would need some kind of valve attachment thing going on. Just hook them up to the cooker via a reserve tank - a bit like the jam jars only a lot bigger
Crawlie
Or maybe work out how to market them as a novelty hot air balloon ride using natural gas only
jml
if you can add a chicken with a beer can, i think you're onto something.
Crawlie
Ah yes... Maybe feed them loads of fresh herbs to try and flavour the gas bit

@ Crawlie: You've been reading "Silence of the Lambs" late at night too often. Or do I mean "Hannibal"? Scogs would know but he's napping on the couch - or knocked out.
