Chinese Scientists Try to Make a Male Rat Pregnant. It’s Time to Draw the Line! Really?

This is a nice example where classical liberalism fundamentally disagrees with conservatism (in this case The Heritage Foundation. The article was written by the THF government relations manager)! 

Some questions:
Why should men not be able to become pregnant if they wish to do so and if it is possible? E.g. perhaps the uterus of the wife was removed (hysterectomy) for medical reasons.
Why should any human have to go through a pregnancy to to give birth to new human life when other alternatives are available? Yes, pregnancy is one of the great wonders of life on earth. However, why not develop alternatives?  

I have blogged here about this research before!

".... Arina Grossu, director of the Center for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council, correctly describes these experiments on rats as “Frankenscience.” It’s our moral duty to draw the line. This is something the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative certainly wasn’t willing to do, as it endorsed the study [Neither Mark Zuckerberg nor his wife are classical liberals in my opinion]. Why on Earth would scientists be doing this? ...
Sadly, the motivations may be even darker. This experiment is a direct step toward the maiming of human males so they are able to carry children. ...
Surgically combining two rats in an attempt to impregnate a male does not advance humanity. Pseudo-science like this corrodes ethical principles and throws more skepticism at what is considered morally acceptable. ..."
