Men producing breast milk

Following on from Art's question asking what we thought was 'Normal' for men, tell me what you think about this idea please.

In today's paper, I read about a 'revolutionary new kit' to help fathers-to-be to produce breast milk in order to enable them to help with the feeding of a new baby.

It seems from the woman's early pregnancy, the father would be given a hormone pill for the ensuing months.
During the last six weeks he would also take a drug called 'Domperidone' to enable them to produce the milk.
The, with the aid of a breastpump and a compression vest () they will be able to feed the baby.

'Experts' say the "chestfeeding kit "challenges the fundamental meanings of male and female."

I'm afraid these things are beyond my comprehension.
However has the human race survived - and multiplied - all these years without such inventions?

I would be seriously very, very worried and would need to question the motive if a partner of mine wanted to do this.
In fact, I think he would quite quickly become my ex-partner.

There will be no more male and female one day.

But, everyday folks embrace it, work that one out.

Re: Men producing breast milk

Oh Mups, that put me right off me toast.

I guess all that's left is the fight over which parent gets to change the nappy.

But is it really, Spitty?

Or is it another scheme to make someone very rich when gullible people want to mess with their bodies and try it?

Re: Men producing breast milk

It could all just be crap, of course.

Re: Men producing breast milk

It'll eventually be a decision which parent gives birth too, Mort.

Apparently this kit has already won some sort of 'Design Award.'

Re: Men producing breast milk

Wrong substance Spitty.

Re: Men producing breast milk

Mups, don't focus on the crap.

Re: Men producing breast milk

I elect all males from now on
