      When they have a higher pain threshold:)

      Seriously though – I think there are too many barriers to overcome – where would they keep the baby for one thing and how would it get out? You have to be careful in science just because you can do something doens’t mean you should!

      I’m not sure it will be possibe for men to have babies for a long time – even ever – not at least until we can get a way around being pregnant without having a uterus (womb) to carry the baby in.

      Although it might be possible it would not be allowed to happen because it would be too risky for the baby. The baby might be really ill or die.

      Errr, tricky. Apart from people who have had sex-change procedures (i think there was a man a year or two ago who had a baby – but i think that was the story there)… then, well, never Im glad to say!!.
