Mice Produced Using Artificial Sperm

vasanth writes to tell us scientists have successfully grown mice from artificial sperm. The sperm was created from embryonic stem cells and implanted into female mice. There were a few problems, including that some of the mice showed abnormal patterns of growth and difficulty breathing. The hope here is to assist couples who are having difficulties with conception.

sure sure, change the subject so that it's all about me - even though you don't know anything about me.

For your information, I was paraphrasing Richard Dawkins, who happens to be an eminent scientist -perhaps THE world authority on evolution. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about. I actually got his example slightly incorrect though. The example he used was not peacocks, it was widow birds. They have, he says, such long tails for one reason and one reason only, because females like it. Here is the book I got this from:

Read it yourself. Educate yourself on the topic before you try to debate it. His other book, The Selfish Gene is excellent too.

Good idea, take the evolutionary dead ends and get their weak genes back into the pool.

Giving "homosexual biological children" a chance at life is like handing over the Presidency to a mentally handicapped candidate without any kind of fair election.
I see your point...
