There have been numerous researches and theories that have time and again proved that men are weaker than women in all aspects. There are even speculations that the male of human race may well be on the path of extinction. Now a recent research by British scientists raises the prospect of babies being born through entirely artificial means without any requirement of a man or anyting from a man’s body.

Researchers at Newcastle upon Tyne University claim to have arrived at a technique which can convert female bone marrow into sperm and leave out the role of men in procreation completely. According to New Scientist magazine, the researchers envisage taking stem cells from a woman donor’s bone marrow and transform them into sperm through the use of special chemicals and vitamins, the Daily Mail of Britain reported on Thursday.

Professor Karim Nayernia of Newcastle has sought permission from the authorities for starting the experiment within the next two months. The biologist believes early-stage ‘female sperm’ could be produced within two years while mature sperm capable of fertilising eggs might take three more years.

The research promises to provide an invaluable insight into the problem and cure of infertility. On a different level, it also sets the stage for lesbian couples and gay men to have children that are biologically their own, further complicating the ethical and moral debate over the issue in societies world wide.

In time everybody will be able to have their own baby, without needing anyone from the opposite sex to give anything. And 20 years down the line one will be able to order a baby rather than make it out of love. Think about it.

Is this really possible? But the natural means of procreation will always be the best.

I think this is a form of cloning. From a DNA sample, an offspring will be born.

A woman needs a man to propagate generations. Why spend more on technology if God has already provided ”making love” to create babies.
