GALS' TURN TO MAKE THE SPERM
By FARRAH WEINSTEIN

April 14, 2007 -- Men, start panicking - you could soon be on the endangered-species list.
British scientists say women could one day produce their own sperm - taking guys completely out of the conception process and ensuring consternation among males.
The procedure involves taking bone marrow from women and "coaxing the stem cells within the female tissue to develop into sperm cells," said Professor Karim Nayernia of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, as reported in The Independent newspaper in Britain.
Last year, Nayernia led scientists at the University of Gottingen in Germany in an experiment to produce artificial sperm from mouse embryonic stem cells, which produced seven offspring.
"Theoretically, it is possible," Nayernia said. "The problem is whether the sperm cells are functional or not. I don't think there is an ethical barrier, so long as it's safe."

OK..that kinda made my skin crawl..a little too close to messing w/ mother nature
 
Women will always need men, if only to have someone to blame when they've done something wrong!
