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."

I would wager if the planet was made up of only women, the war would come sooner then you could imagine.

too many women and they would just implode on their own mood swings.

check your facts, the offspring from incestuous relationships usually don't have serious congenital defects though the probability is higher; in some cultures there were subcultures which practiced incest for generations without problems or higher incidence of spontaneous abortions. (that said, ew, Jerry Springer Show Fodder *barf*) I will also make the unpopular and politically incorrect observation that gays and lesbians should not reproduce by artificial means, it is unnatural for them and might subject child to improper upbringing.

Good

Now maybe they'll quit bugging us on Superbowl weekends.

So without men in the process..

How "many" would that be? "Many" men like to blow goats too, but that's hardly statistically significant.

Of course if you listen to your local Queer Student Association then you might believe that 50% of each gender is gay but that's so far from reality. You're closer to 1% if you're lucky. Possibly more in universities/colleges where young students struggle to find any kind of identity.
