Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete?
Shaitan Apistos writes "British scientists have discovered a way to turn female bone marrow into sperm, allowing women to reproduce without the need of male companionship. All children born of this method would be female, due the lack Y chromosomes, and there is high chance of birth defects. Eggs also can be created from male bone marrow, but men looking to reproduce would still need to find a surrogate mother to handle the gestation period. I'd like to take a moment to welcome our new amazonian overlords and remind them that men are still very good at mowing lawns and fixing cars."
Since when is human reproduction about strengthening the gene pool, and since when are your "gay friends" inherently unable to reproduce naturally? Procedures that enable otherwise infertile couples, ones that exist now, violate that, not anything that allows gay couples to conceive. If I wanted kids, I wouldn't even need to reproduce at all, I could adopt.
Your comment is not only inane, it is offensive to gays regardless of your halfassed disclaimer. Since strengthening the gene pool is apparently key to you, do us all a favor and have yourself and your malfunctioning brain sterilized.
It doesn't really count as Godwin when the discussion is about making a segment of society "Obsolete". It is really sad just how sexist our society is against men. You would think that we could have learned from our past, but unfortunately we haven't. We just change who is the oppressor, and who is the oppressed.
