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.
It seems women are getting more and more fed up with us males that they're working diligantly on not needing us anymore. We can choose which sex, now we're working on assisting "couples" (of women) in having babies. Damn... At least I've procreated!
Aren't there already enough unwanted, unluved mice babies already?
You mean my sole reason for existence is now opening jars for the missus?
"Regardless, it looks like males have one less reason for existance."
Don't sweat it -- you still need scientists to perform the procedure, and last I checked they weren't letting girls get into science.
As well as the safety concerns, using stem cells to create sperm also raises ethical questions.
Has anybody thought of the mice? Aren't we playing GOD with them? Shouldn't they have a right to live and roam free and not be subject to those humans obsessed with fertilizing them? Disgusting and definitely unethical.

Don't forget killing bugs...
I want same-sex couples to be able to have children by accident. We'll see how they like then.
I'm pretty sure men and women are the same species.
Please, for the good of Humanity, vote Obama.
they're working diligantly on not needing us anymore.
They don't need us and the human species will be better off without us. We (males) are just too aggressive and violent.
Of course, the reason males are aggressive is the same as the reason that male peacocks have such enormous plumes. You don't think that male peacocks actually *want* to have those ridiculous tales do you? Oh no. The reason they have those tales is that female peacocks like it that way. The same sort of thing happens with humans. Men who are violent and aggressive are rewarded by being able to pass on their genes. The trait of aggression is selected for (by women) and so it becomes more common. The trait that is selected against becomes less common. If women didn't like males that way, they could breed it out of the gene pool in just one or two generations.
Then don't. Clothes turn people into lower mamals. Though we don't have the insight right now, I bet in 50 years, we'll figured out why God didn't want you to wear clothes. All life exists for us to look at, and in some species will havve fur, or occasionally produce a viable hairy offsprring. Given life's penchant for procreation, the fact that god has said NO to people wearing clothes should be taken as an extremely stong hint that it just shouldn't be done.
Become nudist. There are tons of guys waiting for women who actually want to show off their body.
Just because we can, doesn't mean its right. Or smart.
I'll probably be modded down for this...
How many couples really want to conceive a mouse, anyway?
Except for when the technology breaks and there will be no man to fix it.
The main abnormality in human children conceived through this method seems to be an unhealthy obsession with cheese and a tendency to scamper.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
Are all the computer companies having trouble keeping up with the demand for new mice? Seems like a damned inefficient way to manufacture 'em if you ask me.

Don't forget killing bugs...
Killing bugs? You're lucky. My wife thinks killing them is cruel, so I have to safely and humanely escort them to the garden. And I'm actually not joking...
What is this "Women's Studies" you speak of, you sexist!?! I know only of "Womyn's studies"
And All I Ask is a Tall Ship And a Star to Steer Her By
That is because the men turned the womyn into sex objects. Like you said, they're sheep. Like I said, to eliminate all of the world's problems, including shit like you just mentioned, eliminate the source. The source of all of the world's problems is men, not womyn.

Hm... YY + YY = YY
(Woman + Woman = Woman)
This is intuitively obvious, but doesn't it also follow that:
XY + XY = YY | XY | XX
(Man + Man = Woman or Man or ???)
As far as I know, no human XX has ever lived. This would be inventing a third gender!
