Rare Abdominal Birth

In my Deans Book course we are studying all about genetic engineering, as we are reading Remaking Eden. One thing in the book is that technically men can gestate babies if an embryo was to be implanted in their abdomen. This is based on the fact that in some rare cases women have gestated babies where the embryo implanted (accidentally) in their abdomen instead of the uterus. THEN... just this week.. . one of these very rare cases (with a woman) happened in Canada. Here's the link for the story includign photos of the baby and the mom!!
