Xenopregnancy

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Xenopregnancy or interspecies pregnancy is the pregnancy involving an embryo or fetus belonging to another species than the carrier. Strictly, it excludes the situation where the fetus is a hybrid of the carrier and another species, thereby excluding the possibility that the carrier is the biological mother of the offspring. It has no known natural occurrence, but having e.g. pigs carry human fetuses to term would be a potential yet ethically controversial alternative to surrogate mothers or artificial uteri for gay male couples or mothers who have damaged their own uteri. It would also provide a sober, drug-free and nonsmoking carrier.
