Well, it can happen in women:
Quote:
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that develops outside a woman's uterus (womb). This happens when the fertilized egg from the ovary does not implant itself normally in the uterus. Instead, the egg develops somewhere else in the abdomen. The products of this conception are abnormal and cannot develop into fetuses.

* The most common place that ectopic pregnancy occurs is in one of the fallopian tubes (a so-called tubal pregnancy). These are the tubes that transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies also can be found on the outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, or attached to the bowel.
If you used the right hormonal balancers, could you get that to work in a man? I dunno.
[edit] It's considered life-threatening, so is treated surgically. Right-to-lifers: is this an abortion? Is it God's will?

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
