NEWS: Men May Soon be Completely Obsolete

CULTURE: Men May Soon be Completely Obsolete

Scientists are researching methods of producing sperm cells from bone marrow. It's been done already with marrow extracted from male subjects, but now the question's been raised about whether it should be tried with females' marrow.

Aside from providing another alternative for otherwise infertile couples, the article points out that this could also be a breakthrough for lesbian couples. Two women could produce a true biological daughter together, eliminating the obstacles faced by having a child who is only biologically tied to one partner. The other partner typically goes through an adoption process, which can be frustrating and difficult.

It's only a matter of time, however, before the conservatives start crying about how this procedure would only make it easier for lesbians to breed more lesbians. They seem to love claiming that the children of gay couples will somehow always turn out to be gay.

In any case, who's gonna help me start my lady army?

Wow.

This is so science fiction that I have to dig it.

wow, indeed.

i'm going to go buy some stock in Tampax.

Impressive

Chicks are always gonna need us guys!

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "getting a boner"...

I hear they're working on a spider-killing machine too.

Let me know when they form an all Lesbian Hockey team, then I'll be impressed.

YAY!!!! Another way to overpopulate the planet. Sweet!

Awesome but kind of scary.

I think this is funny:
"They seem to love claiming that the children of gay couples will somehow always turn out to be gay." Yes, because those gay couples' parents were totally gay, right? Or... Gay is contagious, so look out, poster below me.

Done. Next?

That thing is cool and all, but unless a giant robotic fist comes out and smashes the eight-legged bastards into oblivion, it's just not going to satisfy me.

Oh yeah, I really could care less about sperm from bone marrow.

The base population of the current human race at one time faced a genetic bottleneck which reduced us to less than 56,000 people. Because of this, and the fact that the male human only carries one copy of the Y chromosome, while the female carries two copies of the X, the Y chromosome in less than 30,000 generations from now will eventually accrue more genetic damage than is repairable and will cease to exist.
The female X chromosome, because it travels in pairs in a female, has redundancy to correct missing or damaged pieces in either chromosome.

The human male is literally going extinct in about 100,000 years from now. If anybody cares, they better think of a new way for females to reproduce.

Cool. The pressure is almost off!

Genius.

When I got a vasectomy, people always asked me what I'd do if I changed my mind.
I'd say "Don't worry -- by the time that ever comes close to happening, we'll all be able to clone ourselves from bone marrow." I think this is actually one step better.

Anyway, between this and the feeldoe, I'm proudly tendering my resignation from usefulness, and accepting my place as a good-natured anachronism.
Maybe I can finally get some of this artwork done.

men will never be obsolete.
women will always need another gender to make fun of.

Trippy...

if that went through... boy wouldnt mankind be a funny story to tell in the future

especially if you were to explain sex... it would sound so silly

<3 Alecks

Oh, shit, you're right... someone has to change the diapers and wash the dishes.

I for one am happy about this. Finally we can be released from the bondage of being slaves to the female biological clock!

Only thing i wouldn't like about this would be those kids that might of gotten adopted but instead weren't cause of bone sperm.
