I was recently asked by a good friend and well known, respected national columnist to explain what would happen if men could really get pregnant. He wanted a real medical explanation. When I started thinking about it more, I was reminded of the 1994 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito called “Junior.”
In this film, Arnold plays an Austrian-American scientist who invents a new fertility drug called “Expectane.” In the movie, the drug is not approved by the FDA, and the long and short of it, Arnold decides to be a human guinea pig. He is impregnated with an ovum donated by another scientist (Emma Thompson). Dr Danny Devito plays the OB who delivers “Junior” by Cesarean section. So now we have proof that a man can actually get pregnant and give birth, at least in Hollywood.
