The Man Who Would Be Mum

So it’s begun. A man has given birth to a baby. June 29^th saw the birth of the first ever child born to a man. That is if we discount Arnold Swarzenegger’s efforts in the 1994 Hollywood film Junior. This particular immaculate conception has grasped the attention of the world’s media with a bidding war for the first photos of the child peaking at a whopping £250,000. The child’s father (or is it mother?) appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show months before the birth and told the crowd that “it’s not a male or female desire to have a child it’s a human need” echoing Swarzenegger’s outcry in Junior; “My body my choice”.
