"Fertility experts have accomplished astonishing feat in the quest for new world of human reproduction. Mr. Lee Mingwei, a Taiwanese American, is now the first pregnant man in history. A team of doctors at RYT Hospital, Dwayne Medical Center, New York, employed In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) techniques to induce an ectopic pregnancy in Mingwei by implanting an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, Mingwei weighed 167.5 1bs, his blood pressure 80/120 and fundal height 37.3 inches as at June 19. He is reportedly in good health and spirit. The expectant 'mother' has no name for the child yet. He was quoted as saying, "I believe I'll only know the name when the child is born. I guess we'll have to wait and see" Mingwei reportedly, will be delivered by Caesarian session. Lee Mingwei was a fairly known figure before his procedure. He is said to have as an artist, exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others."

"Fertility experts have known for years that men could bear children," explains Dr. Elizabeth Preatner. She explains, "With the success of delivering ectopic pregnancies in women, it has became clear that a uterus is not essential to childbirth. We have proven that within the proper biochemical environment, an embryo can indeed implant itself within a male abdominal cavity and thrive." "When it comes to the burdens of parenthood, women usually trump men with one simple fact -- only females can get pregnant and give birth.", Kathy Slobogin of CNN Medical Unit, wrote in her article 'Liberated seahorse dads carry the babies'. The scale will change to an equilibrium if all goes well with male pregnancy. Whether this is an important stage in the fight for gender equality remains to be seen. "

Lee Mingwei, the first pregnant man
This website documented the case of Mr. Lee Mingwei, supposedly the first man to bear child. A variety of documentary evidence was provided to allow visitors to track the progress of Mr. Mingwei's pregnancy, but in fact all of the evidence was false. The site was really created as an art project by the conceptual artist Virgil Wong. In fact, it would be theoretically possible for a man to bear a child by means of an ectopic pregnancy (and taking female hormones), but due to the high risks involved, no one has ever attempted such a procedure (though in 2002 Doctor Chen Huanran in Beijing announced he was seeking volunteers).
