Men are now obsolete?
The Chinese team says the new discovery could pave the way for exciting new treatments to boost male fertility
https://hacked.com/chines...oned-mice/ Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences, led by Li Jinsong, WU Yuxuan of the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, and YANG Li of CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology, have successfullymass produced viable high-quality artificial sperm for the first time. http://www.cell.com/cell-...15)00265-9 | |

Yeah, but I bet it tastes funny. I Can't Believe It's Not Sperm. Murica: at least it's not Sudan. | |

Some scientists are not convinced by the report.
Zhou says that the researchers are “very confident” that their protocol can be repeated in other laboratories — and that it would be normal for there to be variations between creating sperm in a dish and the process in live mice. He says that part of the acceleration could be because the cells seemed to have skipped an ‘arrested’ state that PGCs normally pass through. But Saitou counters that this state is crucial for PGCs to develop properly; at this accelerated pace, he says, the spermatids might not be normal. From mice to men?Applying the same concept to try to make human sperm is the next step, says Zhao. A year ago, Hanna and Surani reported making human PGCs in a dish from reprogrammed skin cells. But for ethical reasons, they didn’t try to reintroduce them into humans3. Zhao says that his team is already trying to make human PGCs mature in a dish, using human testicular tissue from patients. And Hanna, who says that such tissue is hard to come by, has been using cells from testicular tissue of mice, pigs and monkeys to attempt the same thing.

Gay man have children too. With lesbian mothers or with mother with no heteroseksual man.
Being a father is not hetero-normative at all. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

I love terms like "hetero-nomative." [Edited 2/26/16 12:14pm] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Now see if I had of added something along the lines to always needing jar openers, hammer and wrench techs then there'd be a whole other group of male humans with feathers rustled. This is how this kind of stuff goes over the head of the general public. People zero in on the point of light jiggling on the wall and completely ignore what's really happening. It really is sad at least to me. Next thing you know years later people are scratching their heads wondering how something became the new norm and who made the decision. The point of the article is that sperm may not be needed to create a new human being. At the end of the day that is an important thing to the continuaton of the species. | |
