The first pregnant man

Thomas Beatie got the honor. He was born as a transexual. He removed some of those extra stuff and became almost a man. But he left his uterus intact. As his wife had undergone surgery to remove her uterus, she was unable to conceive. So the couple decided to make use of the unused stuff inside Thomas Beatie.

He became pregnant through artificial insemination and was paraded in frot of the world media in the last couple of days, with his 6 month old belly.

He will not be able to breast feed the baby. Or is it possible? Any way there are baby foods and milk products available to take care of that part. And there is another lady in the family who is going to share the burden of child rearing.

Is this the right thing to do for a transsexual man? I think so. They were born with these body parts. Why not use it for some use? The society may frown upon them. But that is the problem of society; not Thomas Beaty. The kid is probably going to have a hard time at school from kids. But then that happens to a lot of kids at school. Kids are mean by nature with any one different.
