Women could make sperm.

Women could make sperm:

A new scientific breakthrough may lead to women in future being able to produce sperm.
Scientists in England have turned stem cells from am embryo into sperm which are capable of producing offspring.
The breakthrough is likely to lead to new advances in treating male infertility and even the possibility that women could manufacture sperm.
The researchers at Newcastle University say that the advance, when developed further, could help men with certain types of infertility to become fertile and even one day could enable a lesbian couple to have children that genetically would be their own.
The experiment used embryo cells to produce seven baby mice, six of whom lived into adulthood, although the survivors suffered adverse events of the kind seen in cloning experiments.
The researchers isolated embryonic stem cells from an embryo only a few days old consisting of a cluster of cells. The cells were grown in a laboratory and screened to isolate the spermatogonial stem calls which were grown and then injected into female mouse eggs and grown in early stage embryos.
The research team says its project will aid the understanding of the biological process through which sperm is produced, which should help in the future treatment of infertility.
it is hoped that this new knowledge could be translated into treatments for men whose sperm is dysfunctional, although could be some years into the future.
The research was published in the journal Developmental Cell.

IMHO..Making advancements in science is great, but when scientists start meddling in God's territory they've gone too far.

I would agree that they have gone a bit to far on this.

NOt only is it morally unacceptable, but it will take all the fun out of telling my wife to go F&*% herself when she pisses me off!

What scares me is that this may render men obsolete.

Luckily they don't have a replacement for someone to mow the lawn and take out the trash... yet.

I believe it, if Beans can do it then I'm sure a woman could too

He deserved that for going on vacation while I'm at work.

Fix the car, remove rodents and insects, open jars ..... I could go on

Nah, it won't make men obsolete. Making men obsolete would make a lot of women very sad, and the women who like men and the traditional method of procreation might start hoarding them. It would be a mess.

Lesbians who want children are already in a minority and I'd imagine so are the straight women who just want sperm donors. Plus if it's successful, that would be a tremendously expensive procedure which further limits its availability.

Of course, I could be wrong.

HaHaHa!!!! Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mow the lawn and take the garbage to the curb every week. LOL!!!!! Maybe I should be cloned!!! LMAO!!!!! The men around here don't do that!!!

Sperm? We don't need no stinking sperm! I could care less if my guy shoots live missiles or blanks, so long as the process leading up to it is satisfactory. And somehow I don't think they've come up with a suitable artificial replacement for that.

You're not wrong. You've seen my picture, so of course you're straight- regardless what your preference was before.

Silly Rhino - I meant that I could be wrong about it making men obsolete, of course I'm straight! True, I've seen your picture and if you'd like to think that my preference prior to that was something other than straight, go right ahead. Whatever gets you through the night.

Talk about bending you over in the end. She goes to fuck herself and just to spite you, comes back with a baby in 9 months.

What's the big deal? If a gal needs some sperm, I have a built-in dispenser she can just tug on for a while and she can get all she ever wanted...

Sorry, its my crass day today.

That's the problem, scientists are finding out that the gal's have one too.
