    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.

    Ladies and gentlemen, er, we've just lost the picture, but, uh, what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has been taken over – "conquered," if you will – by a master race of giant space women. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive earthmen or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them; the women will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new female overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

    From the TV. Watching it is better than being there because you don't have to smell it and you can always change the channel!!!

    Not surprising. I remember hearing a genticist once describe that maleness is genetic mutation and the "Y" chromosome is really just a damaged "X". In many species gender is even genetically determined and they can change gender from female to male as needed.

    Thats obsurd. Farting and hairy asses are definitely something to experience not to watch. Kind of like child birth with women.

    Yeah right. Who is going to mow the lawn, discipline the kids, fix dinner, get the oil changed in the car, wash the car, clean the pool, change the burned out light bulbs and take out the trash?

    My wife would last half a day in a world without a man.

    actually if you read this close the sperm cells are coming from an embryo -- so you are then in fact having a child whose father is their aborted brother.

    So does that mean the kids are inbreds?

    I'm sure that cyborg sex slaves will be fully developed and readily available by the time this artificial man cream stuff gets going, so I'm not sweating anything too much...
