Sperm cells created from female embryo

[Foxy Brown]

Sperm cells have been created from a female human embryo in a remarkable breakthrough that suggests it may be possible for lesbian couples to have their own biological children.

It also makes it that men are almost obsolete for human survival...

NOES!

SCIENCE FICTION STORY:


"so one day, as i enter our apartment, my girlfriend is beaming happy and all that positive aura,
she moves forward telling me she has this huge surprise --she's pregnant ! she shows me the over the counter pregnancy test -- and sure enough, there it is... positive and doubtless. Suddenly i feel everything about my happy little bachelor life of weekend boozing, mindless fart contests, and women ogling all wash away at the news. I look into her bright beautiful eyes and radiant smiling face and ask:

How do i know it's mine and not some embryo extracting procedure in a lab somewhere?"

Guys will never be obsolete (sp?).. because girls will need penises... sorry but its facts.

^that's why they invented the dildo and vibrators

^Lol strap-ons FTW? (maybe for you women xD) =O

Kinda cool for lesbian couples I guess. BUT what about the male gays? Males becoming pregnant in the future? It'll be like the movie Junior (movie with Arnolw Schwarzenegger) xD.

Supposedly not outside the realm of possibility.

I'm not sure that there will ever be a substitute for the real thing for either gender - at least not till full immersion VR is invented.

Make sure you guys read the whole article. Then make sure you comprehend what it actually says.

Note: primitive sperm cells

Also: “I think, in principle, it will be scientifically possible,” Prof Nayernia told New Scientist.

See, he wants money to continue his research. Which is questionable in value.

So bottom line- Human male viable sperm were NOT made from a female embryo. And probably never will be.

EDIT:
In simpler terms, women will only be able to have one sex of children, both give off XX chromosomes.
Y = male & C = female in sex chromosomes. Males have XY.

Basically women will have girls and men will have boys (unless they input a Y chromosome into one female).

  yay! we are still on the menu afterall !!!

^^ actually two men can still have girls since they carry both X and Y chromosomes (but they are more likely to have a boy than a male and female couple). But I guess one of their kids is likely to not be able to have a female since he has YY chromosomes.

Anyway if scientists are actually successful in this, it wouldn't even matter if lesbian couples can't have a boy since they don't really need men anymore.


But yeah I didn't really care enough to read the full article.
I'm usually only half(if even that much) serious when I post something, unless it's super long or the subject matter is really serious.
