Henry's reflection

 ‘Man pregnancy or within two years come true’

Man pregnancy is not a fantasy anymore. Nowadays, the technological development is very fast. The development of organ transplant and artificial organ is become mature and popular. The combination of human body and technology is very common. The human rely on machine in daily life. The people who wear glasses can be viewed as ‘cyborg’. The most important idea of cyborg is trying to go beyond dualism.

Furthermore, cyborg can breakdown the social norms and the values like reproduction. For our society mind set, reproduction is female’s duty which is a natural born duty to female. If she is sterility, she cannot carry out her duty. It is unfair to female. They are not a machine for reproduction. They are human too. They still have other duties which are as important as reproduction.

For recent technology, the scientists have researched on womb transplant. For this research, it claims that it can help the infertile women can become pregnant. It can help the infertile family. It is good news to them because by the surgery they can have their own baby. It can fulfill the infertile family’s desire.

In addition, the homosexual couples are the beneficial group. For the scientists, they will try to let male for man pregnancy. For the male homosexual couples, they can have their child also by the technology development. It is breaking through the society’s mind set of homosexual couples cannot give birth by themselves especially for the male couples. It is challenging the social norms. Male pregnancy can occur in the future. The social norms and the female nature duty of reproduction is being challenging.

For the technological development, it is improving human life. At the same time, it is affecting our mind set for the social norms like the womb transplant. The status of female on reproduction would be challenge if the research success. There are more and more hidden problems and issues break out. The morality of our acceptability is also affected. Remember that the idea of cyborg is going beyond the dualism. The identity of male and female, the family construction and the gender behavior will keep changing in our tiny world.
