forgive me if this is old hat, fake or been posted before, because I just found out about it.

Now, I find this whole thing a little hard to swallow.
I also resent the comment he makes regarding not celebrating birthdays because of the mother’s suffering on those days.
Granted, childbirth is painful, but the days my children were born were extremely happy days (although my daughter’s birth was also scary, due to her medical issues).
any comments?
I don’t know any mother who considers her child’s birthday to be anything but something worth celebratory.
And this includes my mother, who suffered through 18-hours of labor to push out a baby boy who was not only three weeks late, but didn’t want to be born. But, she calls me every birthday to wish me a happy birthday, and only reminds me of her labor when she addresses me by my full name in an arch voice. But, I digress.

Fake! Fake! Fake!
Of course I celebrate the little flodnaks’ birthdays. Yeah, it hurt to get them out. But! Those are the days when I got to stop being pregnant! If that isn’t worth celebrating, I don’t know what is. 
A blastocyst can attach to the surface of the abdominal wall. While unlikely, it is remotely possible that a WOMAN could carry a healthy pregnancy to term this way.
A man would require large doses of a wide variety of hormones during a pregnancy. These would interfere with fetal development. He would need androgen blockers. At the very least, this would cause andrrogen-insensitivity in the fetus.
Further, the female reproductive system has several safeguards that prevent the mother's immune system from attacking the fetus. Men have no such safeguard.
Lastly, the first successful sexual-reassignment surgery (Sex change is a lay term) was global news. Ditto the first heart transplant. If this pregnancy was for real, it would be on the cover of every magazine and newspaper.
My mother never denied the pain of prehnancy and labor. She says that my sister and I were worth it. My niece's first birthday is in October. It was a difficult pregnancy every step of the way. If I suggested to my sister that we not celebrate her daughter's birth for that reason, she would assume I was under the influence of many illegal drugs.Not to mention the fact that the “streaming video” and “live EKG” are just looping animated GIFs.
I vaguely recall reading a novel years ago, which centered around some rather militant pro-choice doctors’ excessive (but effective, when it worked) approach to swaying the opinion of ultimately a staunchly conservative Supreme Court justice. Rather than trying to make attaching to the abdominal wall sound feasible, they performed a full hysterectomy on volunteers–uterus with viable fetus already growing inside–and attached THAT to the abdominal wall (after abducting the fellows, who weren’t as voluntary). Slightly more feasible-sounding, but I still suspect there’d be massive hormone problems.
