|

I've been interested in this for aaaages. I've always wanted to have a kid of my own, as in have a little one grow inside me, be a real mum and woman in the fullest sense. However, up to recently this has just been science fiction and the stuff of Arnie movies.
As many of you are probably aware, there has been recent experimentation, and though its not going to be available to the general public for a while yet, it sheds a little hope on the matter for the future.
Take a look at the site www.malepregnancy.com , its quite interesting
I took this info from there, it basically gives the science behind it etc:
In the years since the first "test tube baby" was born in 1978, physicians and scientists from RYT Hospital have been working to develop a viable technique for the successful impregnation of male individuals. Illustrated to the right is a recent radiographic image of Mr. Lee, the first human subject to attempt this procedure, which shows the healthy fetus developing in his abdominal cavity.
Male pregnancy is still in its experimental stage and will not be available to the public in the immediate future.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques were used to induce an ectopic pregnancy by implanting an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, just under the peritoneum (the surrounding lining). Please read below for the step-by-step process.
1. HORMONES
Oral doses of female hormones were administered to Mr. Lee to make him receptive to the pregnancy. The following graphs of his hormone treatment were prepared by Simone M. Lowell, M.D., Ph.D., Attending Physician and Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Reproductive Medicine at RYT Hospital-Dwayne Medical Center. Dr. Lowell's research is one of the primary reasons that this clinical procedure is now possible.

2. IMPLANTATION
IVF techniques were used to induce an ectopic pregnancy by implanting an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, just under or into the peritoneum (the surrounding lining). There is a severe risk of massive hemorrhage when the ectopic ruptures; this is also the most common cause of women dying in pregnancy.
3. EMBRYO GROWTH
Once implantation was complete, Mr. Lee stopped taking hormones, because the pregnancy itself, as expected, took over. The embryo secretes sufficient hormones to maintain its own growth and development.
4. GROWTH OF THE FETUS
The duration of the pregnancy has been surprisingly normal, i.e. fetal heart monitoring, chorionic villus sampling, ultrasound scanning (as seen on this web site), and a constant watch over Mr. Lee's health and his enlarging stomach. "Men, as they grow older," Dr. Winston of London's Hammersmith Hospital observed playfully, "have already learned to cope with a steadily expanding waistline. Granted, well, this is a bit different."
5. DELIVERY
The delivery will requires open surgery (Cesarean section) to remove the baby and the placenta. Removal of the placenta is the real danger because it forms such intimate connections with surrounding vessels that massive hemorrhage is likely. Implantation may have also involved other structures in the abdomen, including the bowel and it is possible that parts of other organs may need to be removed. Several physicians who are well-accustomed to advanced and dangerous forms of ectopic pregnancies will be on-hand to handle any complications. _________________ Definitely From Another World

As one might suspect, this is a futuristic hoax!
RYT's Latest Miracles of Modern Medicine
NanoDocs: The Nanomedicine Revolution
The NanoDocs section of the RYT web site allows patients to monitor their body’s status in real-time via nanotech robots, or NanoDocs, which live and travel within their blood and tissue. The NanoDocs can also provide clinical treatment by administering genetic therapies via specific gene vectors, attacking bacteria and viruses, or physically removing plaque from arterial walls.
The GenoChoice Institute
The GenoChoice web site allows visitors to scan in their own genetic information online and determine the gene-related predisposition of their progeny. Once a sequence is finalized and an order is placed, e-mail updates on the users' fetus and surrogate host mother are sent every week until the birth of their child.
POP! The First Human Male Pregnancy
Thanks to RYT Hospital physicians and scientists, Artist Lee Mingwei became the first human man to successfully become pregnant. Visit his web site to view live EKG, ultrasound, and other vitals as well as detailed information about this revolutionary procedure.
Clyven: The First Transgenic Mouse with Human Intelligence
Margaret A. Keyes, M.D., Ph.D., is a researcher in genetic medicine and Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics at RYT Hospital. She is exploring the use of embryonic stem cells as a means to cure neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. By implanting human brain cells (grown from a human embryo's stem cells) into a mouse engineered to have Alzheimer's, Dr. Keyes inadvertently made a remarkable and startling discovery: she not only cured the mouse's Alzheimer's Disease, but the animal soon developed the relative intelligence of a human being.

goodness, the picture on the main page isn't even halfway real looking
I'm surprised they haven't photoshopped him a baby yet, that site's been around for ages
Wherever medical science will lead in the future who knows, but I can assure you currently the only men who could possibly get pregnant are trans men
"Junior" was an amusing movie though (if only to see Arnold with a pregnant belly)

Speaking of hoaxes a load of people got owned by this, I couldn't remember where the original was (well the original, original was http://www.theonion.com/ ofc) but it was made to look like real news.
WARNING: contains strong language and verbal descriptions of things of a graphic nature (zomg!!)

To add some depth to GQs explanation :p
it's internet slang, but it's a meaning all off on its own. Meant, originally, to utterly beat an opponent in a way that could be considered humiliating, in an first person shooter or real time strategy game, ie, taking down your enemy unhurt with a pistol whilst they had a rocket launcher, without taking any damage yourself. (the victim then 'got owned'. Of course, the person who done it unleashed some ownage themselves...) Since then it's expanded to mean any kind of significant and humiliating victory - even the four move checkmate can be described as ownage, though I doubt many chess players beyond myself have that word as part of their ironic vocabulary >>
