Scientists look for opportunities to give birth to true men

From the fact that many transgender men give birth to children and some ectopic mothers still give birth safely, scientists are ambitious to find a way to help real men - not even death. bow - can also be pregnant.

Men give birth more and more popular

In 2008, Thomas Beatie shocked the world when he became the first man to become pregnant and give birth.

At the age of 23, Thomas - still a woman - started injecting testosterone to match the sex he felt and in 2002 began transgender surgery, but decided to retain the uterus. And six years later, at the age of 34, Thomas began conceiving through donor sperm, giving birth to daughter Susan. He could not breastfeed because he had mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery.

"Transgender people also crave things that ordinary people get as a necessity. I feel pregnant is a great thing, not depending on who I am" - Thomas shared. He is currently the father of three children, all born by him. Nancy's wife - unable to get pregnant because of a hysterectomy for cancer.

Thomas is not the only man who gives birth to himself. In March 2010, Scott Moore - a transgender man in California, USA - also gave birth. On December 28, 2011, an Israeli transgender man named Yuval Topper gave birth to a successful baby.

Many ways to help transgender people become pregnant

Most transgender men want children to freeze eggs before moving completely from females to males, then ask pregnant women. However, if retaining female sexual organs, transgender men can become pregnant and give birth.

A doctor at NHS - a private hospital system specializing in sexual health care in London, UK - said in vitro fertilization techniques (IVF) have the potential to help transgender men become pregnant if The uterus has not been removed.

Dozens of transgender men have chosen to freeze eggs at the NHS. Dr. James Barrett - working at this hospital - confirmed, his three patients - who are transgender women to men - are pregnant and are about to give birth.

"In the past year, I have about 50 transgender patients from female to male who freeze eggs to give birth after finding true sex," said Dr. James Barrett.

In addition to a small number of patients who want to become pregnant, most transgender men choose to carry a pregnancy. Riley Middlemore - 17, a transgender from female to male - has frozen eggs and intends to ask for donated sperm, thanks to her pregnant girlfriend to give birth. Explaining this decision, Riley's mother, Mrs. Carrie, said that her child was keen to be a father but did not want to become pregnant and give birth.

True men also have the opportunity?

According to Science20, scientists have long studied the ability to implant and nurture a fetus in the stomach of a real man. The question is whether the fetus can develop normally in an ectopic environment?The answer is yes.

Statistics show that 1 out of every 10,000 pregnancies in a fertilized egg does not nest in the uterus but enters the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen. This happens because the ovaries are not attached to the fallopian tubes. In rare cases, the uterus journey of the fertilized egg does not go smoothly. It falls from the fallopian tube and enters the peritoneal cavity.

Does the fertilized egg fall into the abdomen? Some medical documents said that some babies are born healthy by pregnant mothers in this unusual way. So if women can become pregnant in the abdomen, why are men not? The idea of ​​helping men become pregnant by implanting embryos attached to the abdomen appears.

However, according to doctors, abdominal pregnancy is a rare and life-threatening situation for both pregnant women and their babies, because the abdomen is unable to produce endometrial cells.

Thus, only when scientists find a way to help the placenta develop safely in the abdomen and have that self-detached ability during labor is the real man capable of giving birth. For the time being, the " straight boy" election is still completely impossible.

In addition to technical issues, it is also difficult for men to give birth because of moral issues. Many people protested violently because they thought it broke the natural order.
