Any fiction where it is accepted as a biological fact that certain groups of humans whether racial, sexual, or cultural have inherent limitations.
M-preg?
Yeah, released under the title Higurashi by the publisher Yen Press. It only just started to come out few months ago here in the states though, so there's only two or three volumes out so far. Anyhow, judging by your tastes you will probabally enjoy the hell of the anime/manga as much as I am.
They're based off a series of independent videogames which really took off over there. So far there's been 2 anime series, and another direct to video miniseries being released now. There's also the manga and a live action movie adaptation of the first chapter. The first series is available in the US, the second series entitled Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai and the miniseries, Higurashi no Naku Koroni Rei are not though. PM me if you have any trouble finding any of them.
That's the thing though, they're good because they don't pull their punches, I wouldn't like a more toned down version as much, I think. Besides, it's good for people to have their world shaken every once in a while.
As for Hell Girl and Gunslinger Girl I guess I'd agree they're doable, but that's only if you had the right director who wasn't afraid of all the hate mail he'd get from soccer moms and christian groups.

Not WATCHMEN!
They''ve already gone there, twice. Once with Billy Crystal, which sucked, and once with Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger , which was awesome beyond imagination.

Yes, that's a pregnant Arnold at a maternity retreat, crossdressing so that he doesn't have to explain that he's a pregnant man.
Well I guess you'd know - having read the books... oh wait... that's me.
To be fair, I did misread the original post. I hadn't realised it was exclusively about movies and tv.

^Did you know, we can probably actually do that? Nobody ever went ahead and tried, but theoretically we should be able to pull it off.
The method used has a 5% probability of success and a fairly large probability of killing the man. In women, such ectopic pregnancies are terminated as soon as is possible, and for good reason. The placenta shares a great many blood vessels with the tissue that it is implanted in. The lining of the uterus is such that a placenta can attach and detach safely, but the tissues that it will find in the abdominal cavity have no such lining. In such a situation, the placenta forms a vast and complex network of interconnected blood vessels with the abdominal tissues that it is implanted in and removing the placenta severs these connections, resulting in massive internal bleeding.
It makes far more sense for a man to have a uterus transplant, which is both possible and not unethically dangerous, though there are issues with menstruation.

A woman had an ex-utero pregnancy and childbirth recently in the UK (by recently I mean within the last few years). At first the medical profession thought she had two uteruses but the truth was stranger. I think this is the first time it has happened to full term, healthy baby and mother in medical history.
Of course. A viable and survivable interabdominal pregnancy is possible. It's also possible to survive being shot in the head with a large caliber pistol and jumping out of an airplane at a very high altitude without a parachute. But none of these things are safe. The risk of lethal complications is sufficient to not do them on purpose.
In the case of the woman in the UK, her baby was born dangerously premature and they were luckily able to leave the placenta in. If they had to placenta was separated from the implantation site, she probably would have lost a chunk of her bowel. She might still, depending on what happens.

Yep, Transamerica did.
The day they make Children Of The Lens, I'll eat a teddy bear. Hollywood's never going to make a pro-incest flick.
Dollhouse, anyone?

Huh...interesting. I liked DOLLHOUSE, but it seemed to just get stale....a better attempt could work I think.

Kinda. I actually thought that Priscilla treated its transsexual character with more dignity than Transamerica did, despite the fact that Priscilla was a comedy.
I bet they'd keep Johnny Bates getting a rock teleported into his noggin before they'd include the nativity scene. Heck, I'm not even sure which one's less gross...
yeah but werent those mostly comedies? Id love to see a really serious treatment of it. A movie or even better a series where a man (& a heterosexual man, not a gay man who wants to have a child or guy who was once a woman)who for whatever reason unexpectedly becomes pregnant & he has to decide whether to carry the baby full term. Then it follows the progress as he gives birth & eventually raises the child...I think it would make a fascinating tv miniseries.
EDIT: also it would be a human baby, not an alien baby or parasite or whatever...
