Theory about Juliette’s Fertility Treatment

Hello. I will caveat my way-out theory by saying that my track record for being correct on Lost theories isn’t great. But here it goes anyway…

Juliette is working on some cutting edge, “ethically questionable” fertility treatments that gets a world renowned specialist excited and surprised enough to walk out in the middle of the street and get hit by a bus. Juliette states that she won’t allow her sister to be the Case Study # 1 (something like that, but it implies nobody has ever done what she’s done before).

We see Juliette’s sister in a sickly state. My thinking is that her sister is really her brother who has undergone a sex-change operation. The baldness and “needing to get well” is simply a recovery from a very invasive series of surgeries that require lots of strong, hormonal medication. This is why the research center is interested her - the fact that she impregnated a Male mouse. Why would she have worked on impregnating a male mouse, if it wasn’t for the motivation of wanting to help her Brother/Sister get pregnant?

My only question if this is true is why would the Others be interested in her ability to get men pregnant? Are they trying to start a new society that requires mass procreation at a rate that women can’t fulfill? Are they trying to start a society that doesn’t need women at all?

Anyway, it’s a stretch but I think plausible.
