[_ Old Earth _] Is it possible for a man to get pregnant through mutations?

[Dave Slayer]

Is it possible for a man to become pregnant through evolutionary mutations? Can a man accidently be born with woman's parts instead of man's parts? Has it ever happened?

a man has never gave birth. However there are causes where one has both female and male parts one is more dominate though.

If she/he has both parts, couldn't he/she just "do it" with themself and get pregnant?

I don't think so.

If I"m correct (correct me if I'm wrong) but when a person has both male and female parts, they have both a penis and a vagina, but I don't think they have a uterus. So I don't think they can actually have a baby.

As for "doing it" with themselves, I'm not sure whether that's physically possible.

Well, it would be possible if the parts were close together and long enough. :P Also, they would be their own "sperm doner". :D

But what if someone was born with both male and female parts and also a uterus? Could they get pregnant then?

That's what I was getting at. It would have to be close together and really long

Also, they would be their own "sperm doner". :D

LOL!

Firstly I don't think that can happen. But lets assume that it does. You've heard of inbreeding, right? This would take it to another level! :D

I think one should first supply a rigorous definition of "man" and "woman."

For example, there are men who have two X chromosomes. Unless someone does a test, they may never know it.

Something that may be of interest, though it doesn't directly address the OP:

From medicinenet.com:

Testicular feminization syndrome: Now more appropriately called the complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, this is a genetic disorder that makes XY fetuses insensitive (unresponsive) to androgens (male hormones). Instead, they are born looking externally like normal girls. Internally, there is a short blind-pouch vagina and no uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. There are testes in the abdomen or the inguinal canal.

I have heard from a number of doctors that the movie star Jamie Lee Curtis has this syndrome, but that might be an urban legend for all I know. You could probably find a reputable source online for an answer to that. The syndrome itself, however, is definitely a real thing. (Someone with this condition could not get pregnant).

No, but I know of one woman that became pregnant without any man's help. I hear the kid was pretty cool. ;)

Aren't you talking about Jesus?

:yes

without the intervention of man( ie the man that became pregant and delivered during his transformation to a man),no

Yes actually it is possible for males to get pregnant through mutations!

When we're talking about seahorses that is...

Seahorses are thought to have emerged around 40 million years ago. Seeing how evolution is a series of small mutations over time - Mutation lead seahorses to give males the capability to incubate the eggs and give birth.

The females give the males eggs through courtship, which are held in the males incubation pouch. The male will then fertilize the eggs there and cary them for 3 weeks. He will then go through roughly 72 hours of labour and then give live birth to up to 200 baby seahorses!

To answer your question. YES! it is possible for males to get pregnant through mutations.


As for humans, that will take quite a bit of time. but you do need to be more specific about your questions. Defining what you consider a man for example.
