Human Sperm Could One Day Be Made From Bone Marrow
Mums could be dads
Jane Metlikovec April 14, 2007 12:00am WOMEN might one day be able to produce sperm in a development that could allow lesbian couples to have their own biological children. German scientists have manipulated human stem cells, extracted from bone marrow, into immature sperm cells. The researchers hope to use the technique to grow fully developed sperm within five years. They say this may lead to ground-breaking fertility treatment for thousands of men, including cancer patients left sterile by chemotherapy. But the technique, which could also be adapted to counter female infertility by growing eggs in a lab, raises the prospect of children being born through entirely artificial means. If it were abused, men could be sidelined. But Australian Stem Cell Centre chief executive Stephen Livesey said the research was in its early stages, and it was premature to suggest the technique could make men redundant. "Australia supports a ban on reproductive cloning, and even if the technology could be misused there are controls in place in Australia to ensure it would not be," Prof Livesey said. "This technique could benefit infertile males, and to say it could make men redundant is fairly shallow." Sources: Mums could be dads Other related news: Women to self-create |

Lesbians and feminists are already preparing the champagne to celebrate the day when men are no longer necessary to make babies.
More seriously, a couple of years ago, a lab also managed to fertalize a female mouse with cells from the egg of another female mouse, so it seems that there are several promising ways to create artificial sperm cells from females. It's certain that it will become possible to impregnate women with artificial sperm cells in the near future. And it's true that male fertility has been dropping regularly for many decades now (possibly centuries, records just don't go very far back), sperm counts are getting lower and lower with every generation, so it's not like the real stuff may be around forever. A 100% female society may be the future of mankind. |

Thats so amazing!
Honestly though...there would have to be something wrong along the ways. If a female cell and another female - sperm cell were to join, it would cause problems with puberty I'm guessing? Extra estrogen or progestin perhaps? And if you're child was male after this, where would he get any tesosterone? I think there is a reason why men make sperm, and women have eggs...I'm not sure this is a good idea...a brilliant idea yes...but a good one...no... |

The child wouldn't be male. The genes would come only from two female parents, both each having two X chromosomes, so there would be no Y chromosome present and therefore it would be impossible for a male child to be produced. |

this news is so great!
nice to know that there's a new glimmer of hope for couples with fertility troubles and lesbians anyway, it reminds me this documentary about cloning, a british scientist tried to clone some stell cells from an american guy who was handicaped in order to make the patient regains his mobility. after months, there was a few divisions and that was all no "real results" stem cells are really hard to control, the theory is not really difficult you can develop whatever you want with a embryonic stem cell (I mean tissues lol) are they using ES cells or somatic ones? and yeah, how 2 women will manage to have boys? I know that it's possible to make manipulation on the X chromosome to insert the sequences which contain the SRY gene but it's experimental too plus, I guess that it implies to "put down" some genes on the X ... it's confusing I don't know how to express it in english anyway (I'm thinking about knock-out, knock-in etc etc) Offtop: Haku sympa le proverbe Normand! on se mouille pas en Normandie hehe *wink* |

Interesting info,but what will happen when the baby is being raised?.I think they just need parents from both sexes,the idea of two mothers doesnt seem much nice for me,even worse if the baby would be a boy.Still very interesting info indeed,will be watching the developments.

Well,i think so.I just think of people who want to live with a father and a mother and have no chance to experience it,and i dont think of a child who wants to live with two moms/dads.They could be great parents but it's the children that matters,happy children with gay parents doesnt seem realistic to me.It could be real of course,but in a big minority i think.

happy children need great parents! gay/straight parents could be great, if they really want a child they would love him/her and that's the most importand
I prefer knowing that gays could have children they really want to have than knowing that some douchebags could have kids cuz' they're not on birth control or don't know how to use a condom! love is not a question of gender, the only problem is society in my opinion, most of people are not ready to see gays with kids and it's a pity |

I am talking about people who have lost their parents,I mean people whose parents are in the "other world" right now(do you understand?).I am witness to that.

Well, that's one of the things you need to think about, before having a baby or adopting kids, when you are gay. "what people will think". and that's sucks.

Not about what people will think, but about kid's future. Just adopting one without thinking is a bit selfish, dont you think?
