The prospect of all-female conception

[PiercedDick (imported)]

This doesn't sound anything like cloning if I am reading this correctly. this is just a problem of a delivery system. Has any one ever heard the statement that female is the "perfect sex"? They say that because two females can, in theory", concieve a perfectly viable embryo, while two males cannot. In this case, all that would need to be done, again in theory, is remove the second donors genetic material from the nucleus of one of her eggs and then introduce it into the first donors eggs nucleus, along with the appropriate protiens and enzymes to allow the two halves of the helix to zip themselves together. This would result in a fertilized egg with both donors genetic material which would then be allowed to begin dividing till it has developed into an implantable embryo, much like an in vitro fertilization.

By the way, the reason that men will never be able to take advantage of a method anywhere similar to this is because sperm cells contain no mitochondria, which is passed down only thru the egg by the mother. Without going into detail, no mitochondria, no life.

this is dangerous, people need to stop messing with *life*......

cut yourself by all means, inject things into your face to change it ..all those things, thats cool...not that i want anyone to feel like they need to (because i do and its not a nice feeling), but im glad the option is available...

but screwing with human life is another thing entirely, these people need to stop messing around with nature..

pooh to them!

I you could produce sperm form female bone marrow could you not also produce ovum form male bone marrow.
