Not men is these scientists have their way.

Japanese scientists grow sperm from stem cells

by Barbara Dozetos


Scientists may have paved the way for gay male couples to be biological parents together.

A Japanese team has successfully grown sperm in a laboratory and expects to be able to reprogram male cells to produce eggs. This would allow men to be both father and "mother" to their offspring. Currently, the technique of cloning embryo cells and turning them into sperm has only been used on mice, but tests on men are imminent, according to the London Times.

"We have no reason to doubt that these sperm are viable," Poshiaki Nose of the Mitsubishi Kasei Institute said. "The stem cell-derived sperm are exactly the same as those produced by the testes and we are now seeing if we can make them fertilize normal eggs," Nose told the Times.

Human cloning is banned in Japan, but this method is legal because it is the seed for a child being produced, not the actual baby. Medical ethicists consider this technique questionable.

Although no child has yet resulted from the new technique, researchers say there is little doubt it will happen eventually.

so now you and your lover, mario, can have a biological love child...

when's the happy due date?

EE has a point. You still need a woman to carry out this process, although the child would be biologically the product of two fathers.

So if this is possible, wouldn't it be quite easy to use the DNA from another woman to fertilize an egg? Then we really wouldn't need men!

One word...

Ever hear of "Test-tube babies?"
They have incubators for that you know...

Frimost, you're a fool. A test-tube baby is the product of an egg fertilized in a lab and THEN IMPLANTED INTO A WOMAN!

Fetus incubators only exist on Star Trek.

No
I just was curious who would be insecure about this story if I posted it here. You better find a man soon ladies before they no longer need you!

 

[Pyper]

No it still needs and egg. They can "mix" the 2 sperm, but you need an actual egg to begin the life process.

I know, I was agreeing with you.

incubators are only to keep a baby warm that is premature

You can not grow a baby in an incubator, it needs oxygen, since they dont have lung function, it needs it from a blood supply.
Thats just one of the million reasons you cant just "grow" a baby in an inmcubator



That has to be one of the stupidist things Ive ever heard


Test tube babies are only conceived out of the womb, they have to be inplnted to grow

If Arnold Schwarzenegger can carry to term, so can I!!
I just hope my ass doesn't look too fat.

Nope wrong again fucko.....

Nope, you definitely look like an idiot. Or did you not just say that babies can be grown in incubators?

 

[Earthmuffin]

Men not need me?
