Father 's Day...Out ?


According to media reports 'elaborately engineered gamete vectors ' may soon become extinct. The emphasis is more on the elaborately engineered rather than on the gametes themselves; sperms. A Hindustan Times article says that; researchers recently successfully prompted embryonic stem cells (that could turn any type of cell in the body) in mice to become sperm, which fertilised a mouse egg.Once this success is replicated in humans, it would be entirely possible to produce sperm without men. Its waning men or gamete vectors!

All the more reason for Christian men and husbands to live according to the Word of God.

Hi, Amrita!

You have done so much great blogging that I have missed while I was away. I need to "read up"!

Nine months to download. LOL. I wish I thought of that. (I wish I come up with a lot of these things.) Oh, well.

That's mew. Were the scientists independent-minded women to coax a cell into a sperm? Of all the cells, I never thought about, ahem, that. I thought about photoreceptor cells for the eyes, and other types of cells for degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Yes I found that cartoon really funny, I 've got a similar newspaper clipping somewhere I have to dig it out.

Shari, I 've also heard about stem cell research in the field of degenerative diseases, but this is a new one.The 'Universal Man ' (courtesy Hollywood) is on the horizon.
