Short answer: It wouldn't.

The idea that women are "incomplete men" or if you just take a uterus and shove it in a male body, where there is quite literally no space for it, and then slap a baby in there and it will all be 100% successful, is the height of mental illness, narcissism, hubris.

There are so many things that happen when a woman's body builds another human being. Hormone fluctuations, organs shifting, bone structure changing...and I would hazard a guess there's a thousand other things we just don't know about. And even with all of that, miscarriages are incredibly common, birth defects happen, stillborns occur. Men's bodies just simply are not built for that, in any way.

It would also be incredibly unethical to undergo any experiment like this, especially when womb transplants to other women do have a fairly high rate of failure.

Womb transplants for men "in the near future" is bizarrely laughable.

And even IF they manage to get it to 9 months… it will have to be a C-section because the male pelvis is too narrow… it would be one disaster after the next and I’d hate to think of the birth defects inflicted upon these children…
