Men, like women, can conceive, give birth – Prof. Giwa-Osagie http://www.punchontheweb.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art20070727152064By Victor Sam, Abuja Published: Friday, 27 Jul 2007 Renowned obstetrician and pioneer of in vitro fertilisation unit at the Lagos State, University Teaching Hospital, Prof. Osato Giwa-Osagie, has said men should start preparing themselves to have babies just like women in future. He said this was possible with advances in the science of Assisted Reproductive Technologies world-wide. Giwa-Osagie said this on Thursday while delivering a keynote address on the Pioneering work of ART in the West African sub-region at the National Hospital, Abuja. He said the art of producing children through the fertilisation of eggs by sperm in a laboratory, known as IVF, holds the key to solving most of the age-long problems associated with infertility. Giwa-Osagie, while giving a historical perspective of how the IVF started in Nigeria 30 years ago, said with ART it was possible for men to have babies like women. He also stated that with the technology, women above 60 years of age could still have children while procreation without sex was very possible. Speaking exclusively with our correspondent, Giwa-Osagie said, ”Men could have pregnancy just like women. He said, ”A man could be put on large doses of oestrogens. A donated egg can be fertilised with sperm and the embryo can now be injected into the man‘s abdomen to achieve abdominal pregnancy. ”Abdominal pregnancy occurs in women and also outside of a womb. So, theoretically, it can also occur in men.” He advised government to fund medical and other scientific research since the advance societies were far leaving Nigeria behind. He said if investments were made in these areas, it would be possible to have sex selection in Nigeria, fertility in HIV positive patients, procreation without sex, stem cell research and cloning. He urged non-governmental organisations, and the Federal Government to invest heavily in the field of IVF so that poor Nigerians who want to have babies of their own can afford the cost. |

I guess our eminent scientists would use C-section.

Good advice. Let begin from the eminent scientist. He may have a case you know. Every scientists that had made useful invention are the first to try it out. He should bail our tired women out by bringing it to reality. Better still, he can use one of his male children.

1) How would the baby in the man's abdomen be supplied with nutrients it needs to grow? 2) If a man starts taking female hormones, won't he grow breasts and other female features?  |

ur guess is as good as mine. may be through c-section.

Test-tube baby may be the way out. Possibly. The other option perhaps could be clonning. Only the scientist seem to have answer. My guess is that he was refering to heamaprodites.

The most important question is not where the baby comes out from but how the baby will get its nutrition.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a woman has an abdominal pregnancy, the baby must still be connected to her womb.

its called an ectopic pregnancy, when the baby does not grow in the womb but the abdoman. It is very rare and risky. However babies can still survive read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2932608.stm |

@blue sky ectopic pregnancies 'babies' don't survive,
its not only risky and also wia is it going to be injected into? 'male rep part' or liver, stomach or wia. wia will d baby grow outside d 'womb' please let d man explain d kind of technology he intends to use, is it advanced witchcraft he wants to advertise or what.God never intended it that way, let him ask d public to raise funds for him so his mind can keep functioning, he needs attention and i think he got some here on nairaland, scientist indeed.

I can't afford his services, I don't have the intentions of having a womb, let alone bearing a child.

I don't know. I was only trying to tell u that peeps are actually improving on Gods perfection. Imagine people undergoing sex-change surgeries, breast enlargement (my favorite*** like pam anderson lee), Face-lifts, bow-tucks, Nose jobs, liposuction, breast reduction, lip enlargement, laser hair removal, e.t.c So the issue of hoking men up with wombs might just be possible. |
