Oi! Man! You\'re obsolete now! kkthnx bye
SCIENTISTS in England say they may have found a way to produce sperm from a woman's bone marrow, effectively cutting men out of the reproductive cycle.
Newcastle upon Tyne University says the stem cell research focuses on so-called 'mother' cells, which can transform into any other type of cell.
A professor from the university has applied for permission to start experiments and could be doing so within months.
New Scientist magazine said the process could transform a woman's bone marrow to sperm through the addition of certain chemicals and vitamins.
Theoretically, a lesbian couple could both be biological parents to a new child after using their own bone marrow to create sperm.
Critics say the research has not yet been tested, and would still be years away from being a viable treatment for infertility.
If the treatmant was ever used there would be even less men contributing to the reproduction pool, as the absence of a Y-chromosome in the female sperm would make it impossible to create male children.
