Is-it-a-Hoax-Exploring-the-Truth

In summary, the conversation discusses a well-known hoax website about male pregnancy and the possibility of passing off pregnancy symptoms onto someone else. It also references a researcher in genetic medicine who made a startling discovery about curing Alzheimer's Disease using embryonic stem cells. The conversation ends with a joke about the website being located in the Twilight Zone.

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: :rofl:

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.
