You don't need to pass off the whole pregnancy. If you could just pass off the morning sickness and 9th month swelling of extremeties, that would be good enough. :biggrin: :smile:

I agree. Did you check the rest of the "university's" site?
Margaret A. Keyes, M.D., Ph.D., is a researcher in genetic medicine and Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics at RYT Hospital. She is exploring the use of embryonic stem cells as a means to cure neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. By implanting human brain cells (grown from a human embryo's stem cells) into a mouse engineered to have Alzheimer's, Dr. Keyes inadvertently made a remarkable and startling discovery: she not only cured the mouse's Alzheimer's Disease, but the animal soon developed the relative intelligence of a human being.

The site doesn't include an address, but I suspect it's inside the Twilight Zone.
