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.

If I understand what they are doing, it would be impossible for them to create a male child this way. The babies would all be female.

I forget who said it, but "women shall inherit the earth" may actually become true.
Self procreating women.

Think more along the lines of artificial insemination and less along the lines of hermaphrodite.

Umm, Jeff Goldblum's character said 'women shall inherit the earth' in Jurassic Park, referring to all the female dinosaurs breaking loose. PLEASE tell me there is a better place to quote this from...

I think the feminists are conspiring to make men obsolete.

That is one of the stated goals of the radical feminist movement. They'd have two sexes, blond and brunette. (Though, from the descriptions I've read, they've just replaced males-with-penises with males-with-(I forget exactly, somehow they're supposed to be able to reproduce without the help of a lab though.))

This is great, technology really amazes me all the time, God only knows what we will be able to do 40-50 years from now. I Have to say, we are very lucky to see some of the most crazy changes mankind has ever seen. We all should be so greatful.

I think that most the women are too dumb to understand feminism and most of them are too straight to give up cock

I'm relatively sure, and I say relatively, because this isnt my field at all. But I'm relatively sure that there is a slightly higher incidence of Female vs Male sex in human children. Not a HUGE skew, but its like, 50.5 to 49.5. Maybe less.
Which doesnt seem like much, but in the long term, it may indeed come to fruition that males are a dying breed...
