It has been demonstrated that an embryo can be implanted into the
abdomenal cavity of a male mammal and brought to term through the
application of hormone therapies and medical supervision. The experiment I
read about involved a male baboon and took place over a decade ago, but the
fetus was aborted before bringing it to full gestation. In addition, it is
also true than men can be made to bear milk, again through the use of
hormone therapy, but this exacts a heavy price upon the man's health and
physiology. With future developments, presumably, it will be possible for a
man (or a woman lacking a uterus) to carry a child to term and to provide
milk for it as an infant.
Dave!
