So if a man is forcibly impregnated win a fertilized ovum would he have to carry it to term? [View all]

I'm on a non-natural tangent here, but please think about this.

Let's say that mad scientists have figured out a way to plant a sac into a man's abdomen that tapped into his blood system. The sac would include lots of hormones, some nutrients, and a fertilized human egg. Basically the man became a host for some externally implanted parasite.

Who would perform an operation to remove this foreign object?

There was a sci-fi story from at least 30+ years ago (John Brunner?) that talked about a male astronaut having sex with an alien - thinking that the alien would have to carry the baby. Nope. Whoops - painful birth down that tiny canal!
