Blastomere Sepearation Hysteroplasty Cloning is the experimental medical procedure developed through the research of Dr. Willem Mibalzich P.H.D. in which a donor uterus is surgically attached to the male recipient's colon. The clone embryo is developed in a laboratory and then implanted in the male's uterus. Because of the physical limitations of the male body, the child is only carried for 6 months, during which time the male recieves a series of injected hormone treatments intended to mimic the environment of a pregnant female body. Also during this time an end colostomy is administered to relieve the male of waste material, and an inflatable silicon balloon is inserted into the rectum. Over the six month period in which the male carries his developing clone the balloon is gradually inflated, stretching the anus for the purposes of creating a birth canal large enough to accommodate the delivery of the child. The final trimester of the child's development continues outside the rectum in an incubated environment.

As of 03/02/2007 D. Mibalzich has successfully produced three clones with minimal complications; Michael (b. 10/03/99), Christopher (b. 02/02/97), and Adam (b. 08/02/97). Dr. Mibalzich is currently carrying his fourth clone (eta. 05/12/2007).
