      I don’t think so. The whole female anatomy is designed to carry children – they have eggs, wombs, breasts etc. Men don’t have these which makes it pretty impossible to have children. Maybe in the distant realms of medical science…

      Interestingly though, in some animals the males do bear the children e.g. seahorses. Females lay the eggs but then the males carry them as they grow.
