there has yet to be a recorded hermaphrodite that has both functioning male and female reproductive systems and both genitalia. hypothetically it could work but there's absolutely no way we could truly know until such a special being comes about.

The condition of being born with intersex would not make this possible. There are many more people born with this condition that what people might at first think. When researching on conditions of genitourinary birth defects, I ran across this a few months ago and there are some very good organizations out there for people who have this problem. In the past, there was much social stigma attached to the condition. Hopefully people have learned to become more educated, compassionate and understanding.

It would be a VERY interesting circumstance. The internal and external reproductive organs lean towards one sex, more than the other. A person could have ovaries and a uterus, for example, but won't create sperm within a scrotal sac, assuming a sac is present (often, within the body cavity, rather than externally). Further complicating the issue, there are rarely complete sets of either male or female reproductive organs, either inside or outside the body. A person might have a single ovary and fallopian tube, but no viable uterus in which to carry a fetus to term. But they would still have male parts viewable externally, and produce sperm (sperm production is rare, however). This is why there has never been a child conceieved, or born, to a hermaphrodite. +5
