The Breasts of Men

Science and medicine, steered by the curiosity, compassion and the will of man, have enabled genetic decisions made by millennia of evolution to be questioned. Sight is restored to the blind. Robotic prosthetics are wired into nerves. Anti-aging creams literally reverse the signs of aging. Disease we are prone to thanks to the shortcomings of evolution is cured by medicine. The human body we are born with is no longer the body we have to live with.

At some point in the future we may be able to influence the genetic make-up of an unborn child, allowing it freedoms unimaginable. Gills could let homo modern breath under water. A thicker skin could save them from the insults of physical damage and deadly sun radiation. More fingers and optimised neuronic pathways could make possible entire new piano symphonies. But for those already born; what for they?

Let's look at breasts. Evolution has placed milk production in the breasts of just the females (unlike society, which has placed it in the hands of the milkmen). In many situations a couple with only a 50% capability to feed a baby may be more than adequate. But for many the discomfort of carrying breasts may be a small price to pay for having both parents able to provide milk for baby.

We strive towards a new dawn, where a man AND/OR a woman can open the door of their house, look out and say "I now have milk for baby!"

New science is exponentially more expensive than old science, and what we're talking about here (two breasts on a man) is not yet even new, it's that hypothetical. It will be the great entré-preneurs and billionaire thinkers of our civilisation who will march us towards the future. The great men who today invest portions of their riches into small bouts of space travel, will tomorrow invest their own breasts and those of their children (nepotism). Namely: Richard Branson, Stephen Hawking etc.

Great men such as they.

    I can’t believe you didn’t manage to include the phrase Teat Moderne in this scientific reportage.
