Is male pregnancy possible via genetic manipulation?

Featured Replies

Is it possible,via genetic manipulation, that a human male could carry his and his wife/partner's child, should his wife be sterile, or if he is in a homosexual relationship with an another man? I have read on Wikipedia that in 2000, the very first human uterus transplant between two anoymous ladies, was sucessful. This poses a very interesting question, if it be possible, hypothetically, to genetically manipulate a male human's biology and enable him in becoming pregnant?

It's an interesting hypothetical but I don't fully understand the question. I don't believe a uterus transplant into a male would require any genetic manipulation-just an MHC match, which is next to impossible in itself. It would be easier to just use a surrogate mother or adopt!
