Nah.

In this country, just do a C-section. :-)

After all, wouldn't this be an example of a mixed-race marriage?  Sort of?

Preferably on its head.

I recently read that man and gorilla ought to be able to cross naturally,
without the aid of artificial insemination.  One wonders, however, what self-
respecting gorilla would mate with a human.  I myself wouldn't care to be
involved in an attempted rape!

As an aside, humans have a larger penis than any ape, including the gorilla.
I wonder what this says about human evolution?
