From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you for your suggestion; I assure you that I haven't added my own conclusions into the male pregnancy article. In return, I'd like to ask you to consider whether a less abrasive attitude would be more productive in an enviroment based on collaboration.

I'll elaborate on the sources. They're in the "External links" section of the article, and the most important one is an article by the Sunday Times (Feb 21, 1999) about Professor Winston's take on this. It covers the basic facts very well. Note that it's not their only source; the other ones refer to many of the same things, and so do mentions not used as sources here. The page linked to [1] is not the only copy of the Sunday Times report. Winston is a highly prominent scientist and an expert in human fertility. Also note that Snopes.com, known for heavy research, is another source.

• Since men lack a womb, alternative measures would have to be made for an ectopic pregnancy.

Not only does Winston refer to this, but it's true by definition.

• Due to advances in modern medicine the concept is generally considered possible, but both the risks and the chances of success are still at foolhardy levels.

See the sources. This is covered quite well.

• The ethical concerns that would be presented by any attempt are significant.

Poorly phrased, but factual enough, and doesn't fit OR criteria as it's not specialist knowledge, etc.

• Fertilization would likely be done in vitro by implantation into the abdominal cavity, and keeping the process going would require the father to take female hormones ... Delivery would be done by caesarean section.

See Winston link.

• — blurring the line between the sexes, from some viewpoints.

See, well, everything about hormones. This is a significant point to make.

• Rabbit Test (1978) and Junior (1994) ... The latter's attempts are somewhat feasible; the former ignores the matter completely.

Note how this said somewhat feasible. As the film's article describes, Junior gives some basis to its, well, basis. Not necessarily a scientifically valid one, but one that keeps the suspension of disbelief running.

• Should treatment of male-to-female transsexuals reach a point where post-operative ones can become fertile in their resulting sex, their pregnancies would not be "male" because transsexual women identify and live as female; still, the end result would be that a biologically male body was capable of bearing a child. In either case, a possible future use for the procedure could be helping transsexual women bear children of their own.

I freely admit that the case for this paragraph is weaker. I've trimmed it down to what is - IMHO - mainly semantics.

• As an offside, your revert destroyed a number of phrasing improvements and the like. I understand that inferior editing can get your blood boiling, but please try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

What, exactly, would qualify as credible for you? What's the article lacking? --Kizor 21:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! User:Aeon1006 has decided to retire from Wikipedia, and as such has removed most of the messages from his talk page. He is not trying to ignore you, he is simply trying to live his life in peace. I'm sure it would be much appreciated if you let him be for the moment. Thank you very much. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 07:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
